After talking with major pundits over the last few weeks, I felt it time for me to weigh in with my thoughts on impeachment. Main points:The issue of Trump and Ukraine isn['t really a question. We all know it happened. The question should be whether the American voters believe it was enough to merit impeachment. And secondly, with the election one year away when people's votes, not polls, determine the outcome, impeach President Trump? Absolutely. Remove him from office? No. Let him campaign with the stigma of having been impeached.You can listen to the Ronn Owens Report weekdays at 11:30am, 3:30pm, and 7:30pm on KGO810 or just go to www.kgoradio.com/ronnowens/ for today's and most of the previous segments.
