Is impeaching Trump really about morality and the Constitution and not about politics?

Asked by Demosthenes (14934points) October 9th, 2019

I’m hearing more and more from Democrats (including in answers to my previous question on this topic) that they don’t care about the political repercussions of pursuing impeachment of Trump, that is simply the “right thing to do”, this is “country over party”. It’s not political, they say.

Bull. Shit.

You wouldn’t say “country over constituency” would you? Who is the “country” to senators other than the people who voted for them? Republicans are not going to turn on their voters and vote with the morally superior patriotic Democrats. If the shoe were on the other foot, the Democrats would likely not do the same, especially given how tribal our country is now. If you want to flip the senate, you have to flip the voters and that isn’t happening without a viable alternative to Trump within the Republican party.
