"It would be dangerous if it were two groups, say the North and South or something, that were the basis of the partisanship. "

It is moving more toward something like this. The D/R divide already mostly comes down to East/West Coasts vs. everywhere else.

He is a crony capitalist who sees nothing wrong with implementing imminent domain for "the public good". The country is doomed by altruism run amuck. Granted, some of the things he's doing to reverse Obama's excesses needed to be done.

I don't think that there is a chance in hell for the Dems to take over Congress unless there is out-and-out theft. On second thought...

As the song says, "Go ask Alice... I think she'll know..."

I would agree except for the fact that Hillary has broken law after law and should be locked up. It's called the Clinton Crime Family for a reason. Trump is a crony capitalist and not a lot better but at least he doesn't appear to have broken any laws. Yet.

In the run-up to the election, I mentioned to my wife that watching the libs and progs and leftists melt down if Trump was elected would be worth having him in the White House.

It's not that I necessarily wanted him to win; to me, he was the lesser of two evils. Of course, if Satan was running against the Hildabeast, he would still be the lesser of two evils.

Anyway, what we've seen in terms of the left simply losing its collective mind has far exceeded anything I could have hoped for. I knew it would be ugly for a while, but never did I expect it to be going on almost 12 months after the election.

And their insanity shows no signs of abating. Should make the run-up to the 2018 midterms quite interesting.

maybe Trump is disliked because he does not have to steal money from the government like some of those who preceded him in office which means the rest of the looters can't get their share anymore or at least while he is president!!!!

Convention is dangerous because it can be called for one reason and then take up everything.

The liberals are afraid that THEIR agendas wont be supported by Trump. They have been trying to get rid of him as soon as it was apparent that he won the election, and will try anything. They wont support anything he does, even if its good for the country. I just dont listen to anything they say- its all designed to push through their agenda.

I have adopted the test that if someone voted for Hillary in 2016, they are dead to me and I dont listen to what they are saying. It takes too much time to try and subtract out their agenda from whatever they are saying.

Trump is not a Communist, Socialist, or liberal-progressive. Therefor he is not a good president. That is the criteria.

Trump, a non politician, is a breath of fresh air among the stuffiness of the Wash DC political aristocracy. More often than not, when he says or tweets something "Biden" like, he's actually wagging the dog. Initially, at the expense of media and anti-Trumper bombardment. Case in point: NFL or negotiating with DemoKKKrats to get Repubs off their fat asses. Then, he's proven to be right, AGAIN. That's the only time the media doesn't say anything about Trump. When he's right, once again. Against all odds and obstacles, he continues to move forward. The shadow government and political royalty (one and the same?) hate him for it and I pray for his safety.

Not just limiting their terms in office, I say...Cut them in Half! and no re-elections!...until we can have a vast majority of "Conscious Human Beings" to represent us.

I think what we have witnessed is the DE-evolution of useless idiots...can't get much worse than that...or can it.

Just not sure how much deeper this rabbit hole is.

Dream on, money britches!
Maybe that should include the article's writer.

The reality is that "high crimes and misdemeanors" is anything that a majority of the House agrees on along with 2/3 of the Senate.

There is no objective standard and no judicial review.

Suppose Democrats take control of Congress. I imagine some of the people who supported impeachment would change their mind if it had a real chance of happening. But if they didn't and they impeached the president, it would be setting a horrible precedent that we can impeach a president only for disagreeing with his policies or crass style? I wonder if this happened with Supreme Court justice appointments. When the next one comes up, might Congress say the precedent is if there is a presidential election next year, Congress won't confirm any Supreme Court justices?

It seems like the Constitution is more visibly coming apart. It would be dangerous if it were two groups, say the North and South or something, that were the basis of the partisanship. But it's political parties. To someone like me not involved in the parties, this seems just absurd.

It's shocking to see it happening with President Trump, who has mostly carried on the policies of the last president and the bipartisan consensus. He's off the charts on being crass and coming off as an attention-seeking clown. Is that the reason? Or will it become a fact of American life starting in early 21st century that a vote for Congressman of the opposite party of the president is a vote for impeachment, as a way to recall an unpopular president? And if so, what if the president really does something impeachable? It seems like our institutions are coming apart.

The left is trying to sell the idea that all it takes to impeach the President is that you don't like him. Anyone with even a slight grasp of the constitutional process knows that the idiotic rationale doesn't meet the "high crimes and misdemeanors" qualification. One of the lead idiots, Maxine Waters, has stated Trump can be impeached for any reason she wants. This may sell with the uneducated liberal serfs, so expect to hear this unendingly for the rest of the Trump presidency.

Yep. Term limits and an end to political donations and a vast majority of problems would be solved...

I'm not sure if it's just the clickbait feedback path giving us more lurid headlines, but it really seems like 20 years ago politicians and their supporters railed about "their ideas will hurt America", and now they just want to call the other a crook based on some technicality or accidental law violation and lock them up.

It goes without saying that gong from "my ideas are better" to "lock them up" is a really bad trend.

Typical of a loony statist Dem to feel that the traitor Hamilton is a valid source to consider. The political system is broken by money-mad corruption, and Hamilton's ideas (e.g. central banking) are the reason.

With virtually all the state capitals in the biggest cities and virtually all the biggest cities voted for Hitlery, the odds that a Convention of States will have delegates who are resistant to the temptation of power is very low.
We need amendments to limit the feds but the CoS is not a safe way to do it.
