Following a crash in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Abba on Sunday, aviation safety experts and regulators from around the world are divided on the question.

Soucie said he would not get on a 737 MAX 8 plane today because travelers don’t have enough information.

But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.”
