The Gators enter this year as back-to-back SEC East champions, notching 13 conference wins under coach Jim McElwain since he took over the program in 2015.

They may let their hysteria cloud their judgment and put aside their political goals to remove the alleged white supremacist enabler. To them, a lack of strong rhetoric denouncing an infinitesimal part of the U.S. population that has gained unprecedented media attention is more important than achieving health care, tax reform or infrastructure improvement. But is impeachment even possible?
