The most prudent thing to do would be to start impeachment proceedings and let the chips fall. That’s what the report recommends. Basically, that he should be impeached for obstructing the investigation and continue to have claims of conspiracy, espionage, and corruption either handled by Congress or in civil court.

This.

The problem is any impeachment won't go anywhere with this GOP senate and will give him new ammunation to play to the victim of any angry left and the so called Deep State. And it will further divide the country. The best way to get rid of the orange clown is
 on 11/03/20.

That may be the only way well get rid of Trump, but what does it say about crime and corruption in our leaders if we do not hold him accountable? Without impeachment, the take-away for politicians is that you can get away with pretty much anything as long as your party is in power. With that, we will have achieved what the Framers feared the most and what Washington specifically warned against: despotism masquerading as democracy.

I think he needs to be impeached, if only to force the Republicans to publicly take a stand and demonstrate that the Democrats are willing to take a stand themselves.

It may turn out to be a poor tactical move, but if the Democrats allow Republicans to continually shape the conflict, they (and American democracy and freedom) will lose in the long run.

Impeaching Trump will force the Republicans to stand with the rule of the law and the Constitution or against it. And when they do vote in favor of dictatorship, we - the citizens of the United States - need to make sure that they are held to account for it, because the ratings-hungry mass media never will.

Precisely. This is why impeachment needs to happen.

I figured out this causes a true dilema. Trump deserves impeachment for his obstruction of justice alone, but it could backfire since the senate probably won't even get to 51 votes for removal from office. An even if successful, he won't go quiet into the night, that much is certain. Maybe he'd still run in 2020 and would get the Republican nomination? Who knows? The base is loyal to Trump and not to Pence.
