Democrats who criticize their fellow Democrats for political considerations when weighing impeachment, saying it is a constitutional duty, ignore the fact that the constitution has made impeachment, itself, the quintessential political act.
Additionally, Republicans would be overjoyed to end the matter of the impeachment of President Trump in the fall of 2019, a year before the general elections, than have it fresh in the memories of voters months before the elections. Democrats also ignore the fact that impeachment is meaningless without removal which must be done in the Senate. A vote in favor of removal might be possible after the Republican primaries when Republican Senators face the elections but is extremely unlikely before the primaries.
Democrats should practice judicious patience instead of wanting instant gratification.
Wisely stated ... spot on.
