If Bernie became the Democrat candidate and actually won the presidency, do you think the Dem establishment would make it their mission to also impeach him? I honestly believe they would. Impeachment is their new default mechanism for undoing elections. As an aside, does anyone know who paid for Pelosi’s souvenir impeachment pens - taxpayers?
Only if they believed that in the long run Bernie serving for four years would do more harm to the party than impeachment.
A democrat initiated impeachment of Bernie even for clearly justifiable reasons would split the party permanently and likely lead to widespread violence.
If there going to try and screw him out of it again they’ll almost certainly find a way to do it at The Convention.
LucyLou: It’s not about the price of the pens. I was thinking maybe the DOJ (or a whistleblower) could look into misappropriation of federal funds. Remember, as the Dems always say - it’s “the seriousness of the charges” that matters most and “not” provable charges. And, ideally, misappropriation of federal funds, if proved, would maybe result in the Speaker spending some time in the PENetentiary.
