Here’s why Trump’s poll numbers are defying the impeachment mess

No matter where you turn, the news is filled with embarrassing stuff about President Trump. The CIA whistleblower complaint about his conduct on a call with Ukraine’s president has turned into a full-court impeachment scandal.

But through all of this, Trump’s approval rating is at its highest level of the year according to the Hill-HarrisX survey, and the other major polls taken since this Ukraine phone call whistleblower story emerged show few changes from the last surveys taken before the news broke.

Lots of people could disrupt, and not do anything GOOD. Bernie Sanders was a disrupter.

Obama's the first person I thought of.

That, and the RATs (both the political and media arms) have no credibility with sentient beings.
