Take This Impeachment And Shove It...

The most significant portion of his votes come from uninformed, misinformed, easily led, members of the tribe.

That sounds like you're describing the popular vote.

[Tassman]

So compelling that, the more the American people heard what they had to say, the less enthusiastic they were to support impeachment.

[Cow Poke]

The country has remained at roughly 50% either way throughout

And?

Pelosi, Nadler and Schiff are doing Trump's work for him, Tass.

No. McConnell and Graham are "doing Trump's work for him" to ensure that the trial against Trump will be biased and NOT impartial, despite the oath they will have to swear. They've publicly said so.

[Cow Poke]

As I said, not much difference between the two.

Except, of course, that the more the partisan Democrats push their impeachment agenda, the higher the opposition goes, and the lower the support goes. It's about trends, Tass.

Perhaps you need to embiggen the graph I posted - it has nothing to do with Trump's approval ratings. But it's interesting to note that Trump's approval has ALSO improved the more the Democrat hacks push impeachment.

Sure, Tass, comfort yourself with that, but the opposition to impeachment was already growing, thanks to Pelosi/Schiff/Nadler.

They were absolutely convinced that their impeachment sham would push support so high that the Republicans in the Senate would have no choice but to convict and remove.

Ain't happenin' buddy.

Gallup....


Pelosi/Nadler/Schiff have actually IMPROVED Trump's rating....

Be sure to click on it so you can read it, and take note that Trump's HIGHEST approval rate was 46, his average was 40, but NOW it's back up to 45.

Sure, Tass, comfort yourself with that,

Comforting that those who will conduct the trial have already decided the outcome. Seriously? They have publicly stated they will literally violate their oath of impartiality.

Not by much.

It looks like the democrats did well here. Instead of going to court to compel the witnesses, they just hit Trump with an obstruction of congress which is a crime according to s 1505

Not unless 67 or more Senators say it is. And that's not going to happen.

[NorrinRadd]

Should, but doesn't.

It might if Cocaine Mitch decides it does.

Saul Guy-Whose-Last-Name-I-Forget (on Laura's show) and The Great One (on Facebook and probably Twitter) both said similar things: If the Dems don't fork it over promptly, Mitch should just summarily toss it.

The problem of course all presidents have the right to Executive Privilege (it is explicitly spelled out in the Constitution) ...

Can you give a citation for this? I have never been able to find either "Executive Privilege" or Congressional "oversight" explicitly stated in the Constitution.

Umm... In light of the subsequent several posts -- Never mind.

[NorrinRadd]

You're a clown. You're not thinking logically. Wealthy folks are going to wait for the storm of impeachment to end to see the final outcome before they risk the "money they worship." Not only are they unsure of the political outcome, they're unsure how this will effect voters' sentiments about Trump as a result. Smaller donors from Trump's base, who are whipped up in a frenzy of support because of impeachment, are going to be willing to risk smaller donations because they believe the POTUS that they support will survive impeachment because they believe it's an unjust witch-hunt.

As of October, NPR's stats indicate small-dollar donors are NOT the base of Trump's support. As of November, Roll Call seems to agree, albeit without the nice charts and graphs.

All the polls are showing that either support for Trump has grown or at best (for the loony left) that it has remained unchanged after they gave him their best shot and even with the help of an acquiescent MSM.

This could not have been what they had figured would happen.

Just so they can put an asterisk by his name they have significantly increased his chances of being re-elected. I hope they think it was worth it.

Was this a problem for you when the Democrats had decided the outcome of their part of the impeachment even before he took office? You certainly didn't express any misgivings. At least the Republicans have heard the evidence (weeks of televised hearings) before making a decision.
