The thing is that Trump is wrong for America on so many levels. If he is impeached, no matter how serious the offense and disturbing the circumstances. it sets a terrible precedent, especially if the GOP goes along because they get Pence. But on another awful level it establishes the impeachment solution as a tool in itself, which would be a threat to our nation's republic. In the future an angry GOP could impeach a Democrat for some made up offense or minor infraction, like not upholding something such as a vocalized Red Line. Then we would be on the way to Italian style instability or a banana republic where elected leaders get overthrown or put on trial all the time.

Imagine the GOP impeaching Obama over the made up bullshit IRS scandal.

Trump will never be a good thing for our nation unless he somehow pulls a 180 degree turn toward normalcy and moderation. He can't; the man believes his own made up bullshit conspiracy theories.

We are in trouble.
