2 Republican governors say they support Trump impeachment inquiry
The Post-Standard ^ | September 27, 2019 | The Washington Post

For the first time, two Republican governors have publicly supported the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, a new development in an intensifying political fracas that has so far been largely partisan.

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott and Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, both outspoken critics of Trump, said Thursday that they favored the investigation, but Scott added that he would wait for more information before calling for further action against the president.

In a statement to The Washington Post, Scott called the inquiry "appropriate" and said it is a key part of Congress's duty as a co-equal branch of government.

"I think we have much more to learn and need to understand all the facts as this serious allegation is considered," he said. "Congress has a solemn responsibility to every American to fulfill its role in our government system of checks and balances."

If you live in one of those two states, try to remember when they come up for election again.

For sure.
What crime has Trump committed?
Not one single crime.

If you live in one of those two states, I’d suggest moving.

That said, if you can’t, while I’d hope you’d vote against them in the primary, as far as I’m concerned, in the general I’d give you a pass if you opt for them over whomever the Dems put up. Not that you should care about what I think.

They believe Trump should be impeached and I believe they should be hanged, so we’re even.

I’m ready for those who deplore the attempted ( and ongoing) coup be destroyed. Cross the Rubicon. The Republic is in grave danger and power must be ripped from the hands of the marxists. They are trying to change the constitution ( which they swore to protect) without having a constitutional convention or even an amendment

I didn’t like Trump as a person when he was running, I still don’t like Trump as a person. But I love the job he’s doing as President and support him based on that. These “Never Trumpers” that can’t see beyond their personal dislike of him are truly pathetic.

All politics is local and all politicians are whores. They just position themselves this way because the local voters are anti-Trump. Still it’s a sickening sight.

‘I’m ready for those who deplore THE CONSTITUTION AND FOMENTED the attempted ( and ongoing) coup be destroyed. ‘

Why not? Morons like this cause nothing but confusion for those with a lower IQ on our side.

At age 84, I will be voting for a “Democratic” candidate for governor of Mass. for the very first time.
It will be difficult, but for the best.

Is there some difference we should be aware of?

Yup.

At least a rat will look you in the face when they spit at you.
