So what? I you tailor what you advocate to what is possible there can never be any progress. Besides, the point is not to impeach him, the point is to say that he should be. This is not exactly a complicated proposition. I don't know what people are so afraid of. Maybe after the mid terms it can happen. But start talking about it now. Who knows? Just maybe people will vote for Democrats in the mid terms because we are talking about it, because they know that is what we are going to do. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Don't start with the assumption that we are going to lose. That's why we lose. Take the fight to them. Now.

The Republicans have been talking about eliminating the ACA from the time it was enacted. The Republicans have been talking about eliminating Social Security for 90 years. They don't sit around "ohhhh, it is not possible at this time, whatever can we do? Once we have more seats we will take a stand."
