Here’s How The Democrats’ ‘Impeach Trump’ Obsession Could Backfire
Fox News ^ | 2-11-2018 | Liz Peek

Posted on 03/11/2018 9:35:44 AM PDT by blam

Next week, Democrat activist Tom Steyer goes to Columbus, Ohio, to host the first of 30 “impeach Trump” town halls planned in coming months across the country. The gatherings are part of the billionaire’s $20 million campaign to unseat President Trump. His group, Need to Impeach, not only calls for Trump to be removed from office, but also pressures Democrat candidates to “take a stand” and join that effort.

Tom Steyer was the nation’s top political donor from either party in the 2016 election cycle, giving $91 million to Democrat candidates, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. In the current cycle, he has pledged to spend $30 million to help Democrats take back the House of Representatives. That could buy a lot of followers.

Republicans need to make some noise, about Steyer and about the growing effort to impeach the president. They must alert voters that if Democrats take back control of Congress in November, Donald Trump’s presidency could be in jeopardy. The left is hoping that possibility will boost Democrat turnout; it could become the biggest weapon energizing Republicans as well. As every politico knows, the midterms are all about who shows up.

Heading into election season, Democrats have a big advantage: they are fired up. As Wendy Davis, the 2014 Democratic nominee for governor of Texas told MSNBC, Dems are "chomping at the bit" to get out and vote. The GOP, as is usually the case for the party occupying the Oval Office, is less engaged, as was seen in the recent Texas primaries. While Democrat turnout surged 84 percent compared to the last midterm, Republicans upped their showing by only 14 percent.

"...the definition of “high crimes and misdemeanors” is alarmingly vague".

Impeachment is about a political crime.

The Left wants to impeach Trump - not because he did anything wrong but he won the election, period.

It will happen should the Democrats win control of the House in the fall.

Steyer is the best asset Republicans can have.

He made his money running a Wall Street hedge fund.

Nobody elected him to anything, so that he thinks his money gives him some uber-citizen privileges and acts like it is a perpetual advertisement for rejection of all he supports.

Keep it up Tom. We need more Democrats out of office and nobody is making it happen like you!

Does anyone have the Craig's list ads showing how much he's paying people to show up? Shill pay should be higher than usual since there's less unemployment...

Mr. Steyer, please name the high crimes and misdemeanors involved, and produce the evidence you have. Otherwise, feel free to campaign for anyone you choose but shut your gob about impeachment!

BTW, beating your girl Hillary does not count; that helped America dodge a bullet!

Any Impeachment procedures the Dems would attempt would amount to a Kangaroo Court.

Only in the US in 2018 can the Rich use their money to pressure congress to impeach a president just because they don’t like them. This is how the Democrats see “government” working

So in order for President Trump not to be impeached, every Republican voter in every state should be certain to vote Republican in the House races in November. That will be a powerful motivation for Republicans to get out and vote!

Exactly! Impeached means “charged” or “indicted.”
Charged with what? Indicted for what? He hasn’t done anything! Geez, these people are annoying.

Colluding with Russia, failing to protecting our election infrastructure and obstructing justice by firing Comey.

The charges don’t have to be true. They just have to plausible.

A bill of impeachment would pass a Democratic-controlled House but would die in a GOP Senate.

Its more of a political nuisance than a threat to Trump serving two terms.

A simple message should go to the Dems: Impeach Trump and there will be a vast explosion in the purchase of tar, feathers, and rope.

This is not impeachment. It is insurrection.

Steyer might be one to invest in those commodities.

Too bad the special elections show Republican voters either don’t exist or don’t show up. These people want to win on the other side.

So why don’t we do to him what the left does to the Koch brothers. Why don’t we villainize him.
