The 31 House Democrats who represent districts won by Donald Trump in 2016 have a difficult decision to make on impeachment, as illustrated for one representative at a town hall he hosted

Voting your conscience shouldn't be a hard choice.

If you have common sense the choice is easy. NO

Not really. Voters will vote for them IF they do the right thing

Trust them to check the wind direction and then vote accordingly to save their re-election chances.......

Democrats that won Trump districts should keep in mind that they were chosen for a reason. They were chosen to fight Donald Trump in my opinion otherwise the Republicans would have won that seat. They should vote to impeach because it's the right thing to do.Come what may.

Hard choice to respect the rule of law? GTFO of here with this garbage.
