IT WAS ONCE THE PARTY OF ROOSEVELT, TRUMAN, AND KENNEDY – AT 11:52 A.M. ET:  Now it's the party of Barack Obama, amateur psychiatrists, and assorted nuts.  From Fox: 

After months of shying away from the toxic topic, Democrats increasingly are embracing political rhetoric that flirts with the impeachment of President Trump – signaling a strategy that could work its way into the mainstream in the 2018 midterms.

From the base, the party sees encouragement. A petition with 4 million signatures demanding Trump’s impeachment and a survey showing 70 percent of Democrats backing at least hearings on the matter could nudge Democrats further into the impeachment camp in the new year.

The publication of the “Fire and Fury” tell-all, meanwhile, has only emboldened Trump’s critics, by seeming to raise questions about his stability – which the president openly confronted in a weekend tweet-storm declaring he is a “very stable genius.”

Democrats must win 24 House seats and two Senate seats to regain control of Congress in 2018, but have a historically tough time motivating their voters in non-presidential years.

COMMENT:  I believe we have a Constitution, and that Constitution provides the basis for impeachment.  You can't impeach a president because someone wants to.

The Democratic Party is a disgrace to the country.  It is an embarrassment.  This is the party that led the United States through the Depression, through World War II, which built the defense structure that eventually won the Cold War, and that pledged that the United States would pay any price in defense of freedom.  Look at that party today.  Its chairman is a hard leftist who uses filthy language in speeches, even if children are present.  Its deputy chairman was a front man for the Nation of Islam, a hate group.

Unless America has lost its soul, I can't image it embracing the modern Democratic Party.  But I could be unpleasantly surprised.  The Democrats have the support of a left-wing media, and the support of the educational establishment.  Sadly, that's a good start for them.
