Don’t impeach Trump with Hegseth. Bring bankers, CEO’s, necessary staff, and Cabinet members before House committees. Make the case through them that Trump is implicated to the point that there can be no deniability on Trumps part. Show the Country and the world how terrible and unfit he is to be president.
Although Impeaching Trump seems fitting, investigating Trump and his administration can be done when he is no longer in office. Impeachment would keep him in the limelight where he wants to be. Our leaders need to go forward. Stop our country's bleeding and do emergency surgery on the damage he has inflicted.
Several have talked about that very subject yesterday and we have one major concern - who's going to replace Trump? Don't want to open any door that would give JD Vance traction.
I'd like to see America Blue play out. Voters have spoken loud and clear what they want, and deserve a loud and clear answer.
Impeaching Trump would just fire up his base and provide another distraction from solving the problems average Americans are concerned about. Investigate everyone who has contributed to this fiasco, but don't make it the centerpiece of Democrat activity. The drama is exhausting, and we should be communicating the good that Democrat leadership can bring.
Investigate like crazy, but impeachment serves no purpose, and let's remember that impeachment is not conviction and removal from office. So he's impeached for a 3rd time, I still don't see the 67 votes needed to remove him from office and a Senate trial takes time away from what the vast majority of voters were looking for in this election having the congress address the affordability issues and ending the war.
Impeaching Trump would take the legislative oxygen out of the blue wave. Rather than getting the lame duck this way, it's much better to marginalize him and pass legislation that Democrats can be proud of even if it is vetoed. 2028 is not that far away.
Don’t impeach Trump. Make the case of his lawlessness and cruelty through his subordinates and cronies. Let his base see who he surrounds himself with. I was taught that seeing who someone befriends is a good measure of their character. The idea of a Vance/Miller combo in the White House is terrifying. Keep the pressure up on impeaching the lesser people. It may finally shine the needed light on who is actually adding to the problems of our country during hearings. Talking about it doesn’t seem to get thru to his base supporters. Also, the new Congress needs to work together to improve the lives of our citizens. There may be cooperation between parties to impeach the lesser appointed people which will lead to numbers to pass veto proof legislation. If the Democrats start back on Trump, that cooperation may fade and we’ll be looking at a popular Republican candidate in ‘28 and no relief for American citizens. You can’t immediately have it all in a democracy but you can start eating away at the elephant.

Woah I learn much from your column AND your smart savvy readers' comments. I was unsure YES or NO to your question, but after reading these 18 comments one thing I am sure of:
People have certainly learned trumpster's tricks these past years with him as president, and how our American political system truly works. We are no longer paying attention to his shiny coin grifter tricks and (hopefully) diminishing his mob tactics. And now, not buying a ticket to Trump the Entertainer, "I was only joking".
Appears we are no longer numb, after watching a failed system elect a convicted felon of 34 felonies be accepted as a U.S. president.
So my answer is 'NO with explanation'....clearly stated here 18 times before my post.
Yes, DDT too, is guilty. However, there are some good reasons for waiting. I’d like to see him convicted of all his crimes and sentenced to a place like Aligator Alcatraz for the restive his life.
Do Not Try to Impeach Trump with Hegeseth on violations of the War Powers Act, etc. . This would waste time and be unsuccessful. Congress needs not to focus on "retribution", but on matters that are critical to the voters ASAP. We need full investigations next year on the corruption of Trump and his family, and other matters.

Trump can’t be impeached without republican votes until January. And the senate won’t convict him in any case so that a problem. I’d like to see trump and Vance impeached and removed which would give us the Democratic speaker of the house as president. I’d like that to be someone other than Jeffries. But without 67 votes in the Senate we can’t do any of it. But I would be content to see the Senate engaged in no business over the next two years other than running impeachment trial after impeachment trial.
Divide and conquer. Pick them off one at a time. They are already at each other's throats. Each one's actions will stain and infect their "associate's" reputation (or lack of) and keep getting bigger and bigger and stinkier every day.

No no no!!
Dems need to address the issues the voters brought up. Impeaching Trump is a waste of time, a distraction and setting Vance up to run for president.

I believe if Trump is impeached now, he would become a martyr. We should impeach him, just not immediately.
He should also be impeached for his corruption and selling favors.
