 My point is that the Constitution survived much more stress than this moment in history. I provided examples of those moments. So by your own point, I agree. Secession, Nullification, Habeas, etc, were far more dangerous moments in our country's history. Trump not being convicted by the Senate is despicable, but not fatal. Trump being convicted but refusing to leave, and the no action being taken would be fatal. That's why I think this whole argument is hyperbolic.gimmesometruth27 said:
 when did secession and outright open rebellion against the united states and what the president has done- breaching of the emoluments clause/soliciting help from a foreign goverment to win and election, and extorting an ally all become equated? that is apples to oranges. the southern states bolted on their fear of what lincoln would do to infringe on their rights. in this case the president committed crimes. the people agree, and the republicans in government are doing nothing about it. you are comparing two entirely different historical scenarios.mrussel1 said:
 Failed and failing are different tenses. It hasn't failed. If Trump isn't removed from office, it still hasn't failed because the process followed the Constitution. I would argue the Republicans have failed in their duties for sure. And a pox on them for it. Until elections are cancelled or the military overtakes the civilian the government, or something like that, it hasn't failed. The Constitution didn't fail when Lincoln suspended the writ of Habeas Corpus and I would argue that was far, far more dangerous to the Republic than the good Senator from Nebraska voting no on the impeachment articles.

 we are nowhere near a civil war here, but if trump walks from this, the country will take a generation to recover.
 we all know how this is going to turn out. impeached in the house. not convicted in the senate. trump will use that to claim innocence. he will go to war on the campaign trail vs the democrats, lose the popular vote worse than he did last time, and be elected by the fucking god damned electoral college again. he will then get 2 more supreme court picks."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

 sure, he is hated the world over, but the governments of other countries have pretty much rendered him powerless on the world stage. i think ridicule has been a better weapon against him than anything else.mickeyrat said:

 He can certainly run the ad again during the generals, but I for one am happy to see him use this now. I have questioned whether Joe still had any fight in him. I've loved the ads Bloomberg and Steyer have been running, directly calling out Trump and calling him a fraud and a failure. I'm happy to see Biden join the fray. I think every Dem should be running these kinds of ads. Show us that you have what it takes to go against Trump head-on.gimmesometruth27 said:

 Was talking a bit about this with a friend recently. We decided the Secret Service is the top organization in our country. There were no close attempts on the first black president or the racist one that followed him. Amazing job. Glad to, that can only make everything worse.Gern Blansten said:

 the longest running anything eventually fails. it is not hyperbole. it is a fact.mrussel1 said:Please... calling it a failure because it's under stress is total hyperbole. It's the longest running Constitution. That's hardly a failure.
 we are nowhere near a civil war here, but if trump walks from this, the country will take a generation to recover.
 we all know how this is going to turn out. impeached in the house. not convicted in the senate. trump will use that to claim innocence. he will go to war on the campaign trail vs the democrats, lose the popular vote worse than he did last time, and be elected by the fucking god damned electoral college again. he will then get 2 more supreme court picks.0

 posting tweets of him complaining about obama's golf, then followed by obama's actual golf numbers next to trump's would also be a good visual.
