The GOP believes it is entitled to the White House, and they would de-legitimize ANY Democrat that ran for and won the office, not just Hillary Clinton. What's truly disappointing is that voters in GOP districts don't see or recognize the extent to which their party is abusing our government for political gain.

You're right on the money, BobbyDrake. The GOP's persecution of Bill Clinton was non-stop and resulted in his impeachment by the House of Ill Repute. And their attacks against President Obama have resulted in the most unproductive Congress in our nation's history.

They're all scum.

they would never get a conviction in the Senate...they don't have the votes even now. Why post this...just plain silly. We need the Senate to confirm judges ....both lower court judges and the supreme court judges.

They can't govern, so they attack their opponents whom the actually see as their enemies.

A super majority is actually needed to kick the President out in the Senate - in the House it takes just a simple majority to impeach. Note there was never a chance that Bill Clinton would be ousted. The vote was party line, but they would have needed several Democrats even though they controlled the Senate.

Its not like they are going to do any real legislating. We have to win back the Senate and the House, and keep them during the mid-terms.

in fact, the email "perjury" crap they're already whining about will likely become one of the impeachment charges.

they impeached both Clinton's. For sure she'll have to deal with that. She will have to ignore it as much as possible. Like ignoring that dang fly that won't leave you alone.

kids (I assume they were his) running around with signs saying "impeach clinton". even after the remedial civics lesson, they still ran around with the signs. I was tempted to call cps for the kids.

I think on RedBubble, saying something like "Elect then Impeach" Hillary. Really bizarre.

SHE will find a way to keep federal funding to an absolute minimum in the districts that obstruct. Bases will close. Contracts will go elsewhere. Obstructors won't be able to bring home the bacon.

in convicting her in the Senae without a 2/3 vote. The system is set up to keep each party from unseating the other party's President without help from across the aisle.
