Why do smart people do such dumb things? This is not a trait found just in politicians but it is ESPECIALLY prevalent IN politicians. Take the current impeachment process of President Trump. It is clear that the Democrats have wanted Trump out since November 2016. And they may have valid grounds for their complaints. BUT, the jump to impeach the President is a dumb move. Before we explore why it is a dumb move, there is another worrying issue surrounding the impeachment effort by the Democrats. They are uncertain as to whether the upcoming election will remove Trump. That is a HUGE indictment of the Democratic Party. A President supposedly THIS bad, and THIS racist and THIS unjust still has a chance to remain in office. Surely a man this unqualified to be President and who has ripped this nation apart and who tears at the very fabric of the Republic should have no chance of reelection. But the fact that he does shows how bad the Democrats are right now in their own ideological battle and confusion.
Why is the Democrats attempt to impeach this President stupid? Because they now have opened the door to ANY Congress opening ANY impeachment enquiry simply because they do not like the President. Of course Trump has done stupid things and the Ukraine call was a mess – but nothing He has done has stayed from the realm of ‘idiot’ to high crimes and misdemeanors. And so now, if a Republican House decides they don’t like a Democratic President they have a precedent to start impeachment proceedings. That’s stupid!
