Not sure what you mean by speeches, as it clearly indicates that impeachment was the answer once they attained office. That we weren't able to remove him shows the clear problem of bipartisan politics not seemingly anticipated. It's very clear the only real solution is to stop him from taking office by the vote, and many of the red states have a thumb on the Republican side of the vote, and another thumb in the electoral college count, so we have to win by more than we should. But that was the compromise.
