Yes. If we impeach Trump, the @gop have still won. If we impeach Pence, the @GOP have still won, because their Speaker is third in line.
Vote the @gop out. Don’t let them continue to stay that close to the Oval Office. They’ve done enough harm to our nation.

Re our current politics. I read in a #FrankBruni column a view from overseas: “…not a battle btw left & right… more like a soccer game between a mid-ranking team and a herd of stampeding buffalo. Sure, the buffalo might win – but not by playing soccer.“ Sounds abt right.
