Joe Lockhart: ‘Trump Is Rotting the Republican Party out from the Inside’

EXCERPT:

LOCKHART: “So politics, of course, are at play here. And I think the Democrats, as Nancy Pelosi was saying last night on the call, can do an investigation. They can bring all of these people up, but as soon as you open an impeachment process, and the President isn’t removed, the President will go on rally after rally, saying that Congress found me innocent. We can get this done, it’s not a binary choice. I would suggest that we do hearings for the next five or six months, bring everything out, and then the House puts a censure motion on the floor. The best thing for Democrats, though, and I make this point in The New York Times op-ed, is I think Trump is rotting the Republican Party out from the inside. And, you know, you find no Republican will go in front of a camera this week. Well, imagine them trying to go to their voters in 2020, with Trump at the top of the ticket. I think that’s the opportunity for Democrats, beat them at the ballot box. Don’t go down the road of impeachment, where you know you can't win."
