Some stuff about the impeachment of Trump I found at the Wall Street Journal.

A comment I wrote at the Wall Street Journal:

The impeachment thing will make it easier for Trump to win in 2020.

This makes it more important to choose the best Democratic candidate, and that would be Mike Bloomberg. I don't think anyone else can defeat Trump.

This shows why it's impossible for Trump to be thrown out the window. The whole thing is a waste of time.
