Blog Stage Four: Substantial commentary or criticism #2

     In his article “The Conservative Guide to Impeaching Trump: ChristianSchneider” posted in USA Today on March 17, 2017, Christian Schneider discusses Paul Ryan’s plan the, American Health Care Act, and tries to use it as a reason to impeach Trump. Christian Schneider goes on to call the plan, ‘a sponge for negative reviews’ that Steve Bannon, who serves as both Trump’s chief strategist and head of Breitbart.com was ‘working to undermine the speaker (Paul Ryan) as soon as the plan dropped, Steve Bannon has had it out for Paul Ryan and even went as far to say that his goal was to have Paul Ryan “gone by spring” back in December 2015. Schneider calls this a stab in the back for Paul Ryan, and because of this betrayal Trump should be impeached. There’s probably many reasons why Trump should be impeached but I believe that this alone is not a good enough reason. I do agree that this is a stab in the back for Paul Ryan but based on what I read from Christian Schneider’s article, Trump was in no way involved in this situation. The only one I see who did any kind of betrayal is Steve Bannon, perhaps the reason Christian Schneider thinks this is a good enough reason to impeach Trump is because Steve Bannon and Paul Ryan work closely with Trump, either that or Christian Schneider needs to make his reason a little more clearer. I personally wouldn’t consider myself a Trump supporter but I don’t see this as a good enough reason for impeachment.
