Van Jones wants Democrats to GIVE IN on impeachment, to make a DEAL with Trump

Van Jones is desperate. He said so in a commentary he gave before his show on Saturday. He wants the Democrats to strike a deal with Trump, and it includes them giving in on impeachment.

Wow.

Basically, he wants Democrats and Republicans to come up with a bipartisan bill that would strengthen laws against foreign interference in our elections. And he wants Democrats to give in on impeachment in order to get Trump’s signature on such a bill.

Now, there is a snowball’s chance in hell of that happening. For two reasons.

I think Democrats probably want to impeach Trump much more than they actually care about foreign interference in the election. And ditto for Trump. Does he really care if he gets impeached as long as there’s enough Rs in the Senate to stop it from unseating him? Doubtful.

I have to admit I kinda sympathize with Van Jones’ sentiment on this, even if we likely disagree on 99% of political issues. We seem like we’re in a lose-lose situation. But the way both sides are entrenched, I just don’t see any simple easy way out of this.
