Byron York: Dems' Trump dilemma: Impeach, imprison — or bluff?

Is there any doubt that many Democrats agree with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi when she says she wants to see President Trump "in prison"? After the Mueller report, House Democrats seem to believe almost unanimously that the president is guilty of obstruction of justice. Their increasingly heated internal debate is whether to impeach Trump now or press for his incarceration after they defeat him next year.

They can impeach the president on their own, of course, any time they want. But putting him in prison is a much heavier lift, requiring Democrats to first win the White House in 2020 — not at all guaranteed — and then hope the justice system would press charges against a former president, and then hope that Trump would actually be convicted of some sort of crime, and then hope he would be sentenced to prison.

That's a lot of hoping.

The only strategy here is to keep the public revved up thru the Summer of 2020.

They will make a Biblical public plea to 'Get out and Vote and bring a friend too' campaign.

They're going "all in", folks.   We should be happy.  Provided President Trump is still breathing.

That sounds about right.  And the longer they keep up the breathless rhetoric, the more likely it is they’ll just end up looking like idiots, and the voters will hold it against them.
