Democrats anti-democratic reasons for pushing impeachment

Sen. Tim Scott:
"I'm concerned that if we don't impeach this president, he will get reelected.”

Rarely do politicians show their hand with such an obvious statement. But, in early May of last year, that’s exactly what Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, did.

More than anything, those 13 words offer a clear vision of the Democratic Party’s goal over the past three years. Impeachment not only attempts to remove the president from office now, but would bar him from running for office in the future, as well. Simply put, without impeachment, Democrats have no platform on which to run.

With a little more than nine months until the 2020 presidential election, the national conversation should be very different. The economy is booming in every possible way you could measure. There are more job openings than job seekers, and the unemployment rate has reached its lowest point in the last 50 years. Seven million new jobs have been created, leading to African-American, Hispanic, and veteran unemployment rates setting all-time lows.

Democrats know they cannot win in this climate, and so they have decided to impeach the president.

Business is booming, with tax reform and the cutting of regulatory red tape, giving American businesses more confidence than ever in our economic future. The Opportunity Zones initiative I included in the tax reform package has already led to more than $67 billion in committed, private investments in our nation’s low-income communities. By doubling the child tax credit and the standard deduction, tens of millions of families are keeping more of their hard-earned money in their own pockets.

Democrats want to increase taxes, reverse the gains families have made, and push forward with impeaching the president.

In the past four years, America’s violent crime rate is down five percent. We passed the First Step Act, ensuring we are keeping our communities safer and that the criminal justice system is fairer for all. The Fix NICS Act and the STOP School Violence Act were signed into law, taking positive steps forward to keep our schools safer and ensure violent criminals do not have access to guns. We’ve also passed significant legislation to battle human trafficking.
...
There is more.

Sen. Scott lays out the politics of the Democrats' bad faith impeachment efforts.  They should not be rewarded for their attack on democracy.
