Betsy's right: High crimes and misdemeanors means offenses committed while in high office
It's not the severity of the crime which makes it high, but it damn well better be a crime. Democrats haven't been able to come up with one despite turning themselves and the country into pretzels.
And Trump's tax returns from the past and his dalliances from the past and why he named his son "Barron" are all completely irrelevant, as is everything else he's done while not in office. Those things matter only at election time.
Here's Betsy:
At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, the framers considered grounds for impeachment. On Sept. 8, George Mason suggested that bribery and treason were too narrow, and proposed adding "maladministration." But James Madison objected, explaining that "so vague a term will be equivalent to" saying the president serves at the pleasure of the Congress. The framers did not want to duplicate the British system, which made the executive dependent on Parliament. Mason's idea was dropped, and the framers instead agreed to the more specific term, "high crimes and misdemeanors," where "high" meant offenses committed while in high office, such as embezzling public funds.

Financial Times, 8/28/16: "Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, is backed by the pro-western government that took power after Mr Yanukovich was ousted"

The prospect of Mr Trump, who has praised Ukraine’s arch-enemy Vladimir Putin, becoming leader of the country’s biggest ally has spurred not just Mr Leshchenko but Kiev’s wider political leadership to do something they would never have attempted before: intervene, however indirectly, in a US election.
The editor isn't stupid. He just thinks you are.

The same people pushing us to fight endless wars overseas want us to open our borders to mass migration.

Matt Taibbi spends 35 minutes talking about Trump's appeal in 2016 with Bernie leftist R. J. Eskow, never once mentioning illegal immigration
The enthusiasm for Trump from the time he announced in mid-2015 until August 2016 revolved around the illegal immigration issue, and these guys want it to be about anything but.
If Democrats had any brains they'd run on Trump's Issue Numero Uno because Trump has miserably failed to deliver on it, but Democrats have no brains.
Replacing that enthusiasm has been Trump's biggest problem, and its absence will spell the difference between victory and defeat in Election 2020.

Biden should absolutely run on deportation of illegal crossers because it will be easy to show how Trump is all talk about it and no action
[T]he only reason this particular part of the law is being abused is because of Donald Trump.

I remember when Trump promised a 10% spending cut in Jan 2017, now Kudlow announces a 5% cut after Republicans spend us blind: 100% politics, 0% serious
Trump to whack DC with 10% cut to discretionary spending, 20% cut to personnel
What a crock that turned out to be.
Federal employment is exactly in Feb 2019 where it was in Nov 2016: 2.799 million.
And outlays? Look at the outlays!
Outlays in fiscal 2017 were up 3.3% from 2016, up another 4.8% in 2018, and up again in fiscal 2019 a whopping 5.6%.
Overall for fiscal 2019 spending is up 14.4% from 2016.
Just in time for the next election cycle, however, Larry Kudlow is out promising a spending cut of 5%.
Total BS.

Trump 2020 is toast: He's screwed the immigration agenda pooch and has no icky Hillary to run against
Hillary doesn't register on any of the polls, where its Biden, Sanders and Harris in the top three with Biden in front by 18 points and Harris trailing Sanders by 6 at Real Clear Politics.
Recent California poll by Change Research has Biden tied with Harris in her own state and Sanders in third.
Joe can be the affable, non-threatening candidate of a return to "normalcy" if he works at it. But it will take work, especially by refraining from taking Trump's non-stop baiting while eschewing an extreme agenda.
So far though Democrats can't seem to help themselves in the extremes department.

If Democrat Pat Leahy thinks the budget deal funding border security is a good deal, it's a bad deal
"[W]e have got a good deal for America."
