But could it become reality?
I was thinking that the Democrats, especially if asked by the Senate Republicans, could produce articles of impeachment very quickly, get them passed, and on to the Senate in a matter of a few days – no matter how much House Republicans object.
But, of course, why would the Senate Republicans ask?
And then this came along.
The co-founder of the Federalist Society, who voted for Trump and opposed both the Mueller probe and Ukraine impeachment, says the president’s tweet about delaying the election is grounds for impeachment: https://t.co/FOmO1X57lC

The Federalist Society is very conservative. If the co-founder is willing to say that Trump’s yapping is grounds for impeachment, is it possible that Senator “Moscow” McConnell (R-KY), in hopes of saving his Senate majority and himself, might be willing to throw the President under the bus, dance on his grave, and appeal for the Republican base and the independents to vote for them after redemption?
It’d be vastly entertaining. The Democrats would have to be sure to get McConnell on the record, guaranteeing the necessary votes to attain conviction, otherwise the Democrats would look bad.
Just … something to keep in mind. I suspect Trump would be honored to be impeached twice, even if he was convicted – he’d make the record books, be relieved of taking a chance on losing the reelection, and just claim the establishment had it in for him all along.
