Trump allies worry that losing the House means impeachment
CNN ^ | October 16th, 2017 | By Sara Murray

(CNN)Top White House aides, lawmakers, donors and political consultants are privately asking whether President Donald Trump realizes that losing the House next year could put his presidency in peril.

In more than a dozen interviews, Republicans inside and outside the White House told CNN conversations are ramping up behind the scenes about whether Trump fully grasps that his feuds with members of his own party and shortage of legislative achievements could soon put the fate of his presidency at risk.

Donors who trekked to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in support of House Speaker Paul Ryan were treated to a slide show late this summer to fundraise off those very fears, according to multiple attendees. Among the slides: An overview of the Democrats who would be tapped to lead key committees if the GOP loses control, including Rep. Elijah Cummings as the head of the House Oversight Committee.

To some attendees, the subtext was clear. If Republicans forfeit the House, Democrats will almost certainly create a spectacle that will derail conservatives' agenda and the remainder of Trump's first term -- a spectacle complete with a raft of new subpoenas, a spotlight on the Russia investigation and, many are convinced, impeachment proceedings.

This is the sixth in my unknown-length series of postings on the worthless and corrupt Republicans in Congress.

Notice: We are ON TO YOU! And we resent your collaboration with CNN to spread disinformation concerning Impeachment.

Because EVERYBODY KNOWS Trump will not be impeached. That would be political suicide.

If we could vote against you twice, we would.

All of us.

1. There is no danger in the RINOs losing the House. They are horrible, perhaps evil. But the Ds are beyond corrupt and a threat to our very existence. They won’t win anything.

2. As my voter registration numbers show, in 14 battleground states Rs are gaining in almost all. They could very likely increase their margin in the House.

3. Trump’s people aren’t “worried” about anything. They make CNN “worry.”

Impeachment based on WHAT charges, specifically?
Not liking the President.
Somehow I don’t think that meets the Constitutional definition of “High crimes and misdemeanors”.

Talk about the last refuge of scoundrels.

Paul Ryan: Don't vote for me because you agree with my Dem-Lite policies. No. Vote for me Because Guns, Because Supreme Court, Because Impeachment, Because Because Because Because Because ...

A year from now the NFL hooligans will still be acting up and causing a strong patriotic backlash against HRC’s cronies.

The only way the DEMs take the house is if Trump screws up so bad that he SHOULD be impeached, and even Freepers think so.

Hey CNN, go ask Beau Bergdahl his opinion, since he served with “honor and distinction” according to your man Obama. Other than that, STFU you lying pieces of sheeeut.

Sort of fake. Really is a rally call to give democrats the motivation to vote in the 2018 election.

IOWA, give us the House and we’ll impeach him.

For what? Doesn’t matter.

Impeachment can’t get off the ground now won’t get off the ground in the future so this post is a waste of space.

Impeach?

Convict?

Remove?

Then, unlike in 2009 and 2010, the next Patriot march on DC will not be stopping at the West Lawn of the Capitol.

Just another BS article by CNN to placate their liberal idiot audience. The Republicans are on the run and Democrats will soon be able to undo a National Election.
