(13,956 posts)Impeachment is a positive feature for a majority.
You can bet the numbers for impeachment will grow as the global and domestic chaos and harms of his criminal war on Iran escalate.
And those harms will escalate. He will NEVER suck up the humiliating "deal" required to extricate himself. He knows it would paint a big L for Loser on his forehead, and the psychopath is incapable of accepting loss.
He is already pivoting to "holding out is strength" (with the corollary that holding out a very long time is super-strength). He is attempting to manage expectations of the strait being opened before the mid-terms with his "I do not care about the mid-terms." Next he'll probably start citing the fact Obama's team took two years to negotiate the treaty. (Although he may be smart enough to avoid that given that it would just remind everyone he tore up that hard won treaty -- a treaty allies were on board with, unlike his criminal war.)
