My good friend Daniel Greenfield explains why the Democrat Socialists of America are moving to impeach President Trump.
Like two rabid dogs fighting over the same rotten bone, the Democrats are in the middle of a civil war over impeachment.

The impeachment obsession has led to the perception among a majority of voters that the House is focused on going after President Trump to the exclusion of all else. Like actual bread-and-butter issues.
