This assumes that we’ll have a secure 2020 election, which is ill-advised after 2016. Without impeachment, Trump will say, “The Democrats didn’t impeach me because I did nothing wrong!” He and Moscow will be further emboldened.

As this song says “The old future’s gone “. We don’t have a choice about building a new future.https://youtu.be/hNNhvZHu03U
Chorus Cause the old future'S gone The old future's gone You can't get to there from here The old future'S gone The old future'S dead and gone Never to return There's a new way through the hills ahead This one we'll have to earn This one we'll have to earn
