No longer can Trump dodge House probes leading to impeachment, defeat in election

HACKENSACK, N.J. -- Many Democrats who hate President Trump still oppose the House impeachment inquiry.

They claim the investigation will drown out discussion of the environment, health care and other issues in the runup to the 2020 presidential election.

But the news media -- especially the White House reporters for TV stations -- do such a terrible job of covering issues now.

So, even if the House doesn't pursue impeachment of the worst president in U.S. history, voters would be cheated of any intelligent discussion of which policies are best for the nation and the American people.

The reporters seem to be saying, "Our minds are too small for such weighty matters."

I say let's fully expose the traitorous, criminal behavior of Trump for the entire nation to see, and then turn out to vote in record numbers in 2020 to condemn him to the dustbin of history.

"You can't impeach a dictator," says a Trump supporter in this cartoon from Milt Priggee, a freelance political cartoonist who lives in Washington State. See more of his work at Cagle.com.

Dave Granlund of Cagle.com:  "Trump, do us a favor, get out!" 

"This guy makes me look good," says Granlund, invoking the ghost of President Richard M. Nixon. Nixon resigned rather than face a trial in the Senate after he was impeached by the House is August 1974 for the break-in at Democratic National Headquarters, a scandal and coverup known as Watergate. The impeachment process took about 10 months.

Another great cartoon from Dave Granlund. In 2020, voters will be telling Trump to go to hell.
