The Dilemma of the Democrats

The democratic party is faced with a Dilemma: to accuse or not to accuse? Since the release of Robert Mueller's partly blackened final report to the Russia affair, last Thursday, was raging in the party to a dispute, as Donald Trump was best. By impeachment the house of representatives method, or by further investigation in the majority democratic?

That Trump has made of the obstruction of Justice guilty, the democratic majority in the house of representatives as proven. There is "plenty of evidence", to believe, for example, Jerry Nadler, the democratic Chairman of the judiciary Committee. There is an impeachment would have to start proceedings against Trump, Nadler advises a slow approach, and weiss agreed with Nancy Pelosi, the democratic speaker of the house of representatives.

left wing wants the indictment

In a telephone conference on Monday, wants to advise the democratic group in the house of representatives of new an Impeachment Trumps. In Washington, it is expected that Pelosi will not affirm that of the impeachment proceedings currently, much to the Annoyance of the party's left wing demands the immediate initiation of an impeachment against the President.

On good Friday, the democratic Senator and presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren was the first to be the democratic tables presidential candidate, to the delight of the progressive party wing forged ahead and had supported an indictment Trumps. Not to question the actions of the President to respond, "would cause the country great and permanent damage," said Warren.

Trump could benefit

your competitors are Julian Castro, and Pete Buttigieg could introduce an Impeachment. This is problematic because not to would be but just, that the Republican majority in the Senate, where an Impeachment process took place, the President can hardly condemn. Although some Republican senators, such as Mitt Romney (Utah) or Susan Collins (Maine) and cheap Trumps behavior miss, I would vote the overwhelming majority of the Republican faction against the impeachment of the President.

on top of that, the danger is that Trump stylized for martyrs and victims democratic machinations, and political of the benefits threatened. So it happened in 1998, as the Republican Bill Clinton rose because of the Lewinsky affair, accused, and Clinton's popularity ratings as a result. No American President has been in an Impeachment procedure condemned, even the unpopular Lincoln's successor Andrew Johnson was in 1868, a guilty verdict in the Senate.

alternative strategies

Instead of an indictment of Trump in the house of representatives Pelosi, Nadler and the powerful Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (oversight Committee) and Adam Schiff (intelligence Committee) an alternative strategy. You want to follow in the footsteps of Mueller Reports, at the same time, however, investigations against the President on additional fronts. So Trumps are personal and business Finance as well lit as the movement of money around the presidential inauguration in January 2017.

a "Censure Resolution", the name of an official rebuke would be. Only President Andrew Jackson was censured in 1834 by the Congress, but "a Censure Resolution could cast" a shadow on Donald trump's presidency. Although a censure is merely a symbolic gesture, but its effect would be calculable, in contrast to a dismissal. (Editorial Tamedia)
