After ‘Poll Testing’ Impeachment of Trump – Dems Backtrack on Impeachment Talk
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 5/19/17 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 05/21/2017 10:34:05 AM PDT by Mozilla

For months since the election the only topic on the mainstream media (MSM) news outlets has been that President Trump somehow stole the election from Hillary Clinton by working in collusion with Russia. This fallacious argument is played around the clock by the MSM and discussed repeatedly ad nauseam by Democrats every chance they get.

On Wednesday the headline of the Drudge Report was that Democrats felt they were finally at the place where they could poll test their efforts to impeach President Trump.

Democrats can’t do anything without a poll.

The Drudge Report’s headline linked to a report from McClatchy’s DC Bureau that discussed the Democratic Party’s plans to impeach Trump and their efforts to first poll test this action with voters.

In a significant development, party operatives say they expect Democrats to poll-test the public’s views on impeachment, trying to acquire hard data about an issue that until now has not been seriously analyzed. Other strategists say that candidates and party organizations will begin conducting focus groups on the question.

The results of their polling must have been God awful shocking for the Democrats and their liberal MSM because today in every way the Democrats are retreating from impeaching Trump.

For example, three of the biggest far left publications posting fake news stories about President Trump to justify his impeachment are now backing off:

1. The New York Times is reporting that “Democratic Leaders Try to Slow Calls to Impeach Trump“.

2. CNBC reports “Chances of Trump impeachment are low, says Nomura“.

3. The Washington Post reports “Considering Impeachment? Slow Down”

The Democrats big play to remove President Trump via impeachment is backfiring. Americans are seeing more than ever before how biased the MSM in America is and are fed up. The more the MSM promotes impeachment the more Democrats and the MSM look foolish like upset spoiled little children. President Trump calling the MSM ‘fake news’ is resonating with Americans.

A significant majority of electoral college delegates, states and counties in the US voted for President Trump despite the MSM’s all out assault. Without voter fraud President Trump would have easily won the popular vote as well. Now more Americans are waking up and they don’t like their President being treated so terribly unfair.

The results must have been bad – real bad, for the Democrat/MSM complex to suddenly begin their all out retreat.

The left has no leg to stand on and talk of impeachment is not helping them.

It is helping the 2018 (R) majority and Trump 2020 though.

I was hoping they would take it to the streets.

Americans are getting tired of waiting for the
INDICTMENTS of the murderers of Seth Rich,
the IRS Commissioner,
the Clinton Foundation traitors,
the murderers of the Benghazi patriots,
the rapists of Pizzagate in DC,
and the murderers of Judge Scalia.

It was to rally the base. Have to give them something.

Next rallies/protests will occur in Gay Pride Month no doubt.

In many ways, this is the 2017 version of the “Wellstone Memorial” moment when the democrats went full-political retard at a politicians funeral and the public saw right through it.

More proof to Rush’s theory that the Democrats are nothing more than followers of the media. It looks like this time they were able to put the brakes on before they fell off the cliff. I’m sure the DNC will get an angry phone call or two from the NYT, CNN, and the Deep State bosses on this one.

“Impeachment talk” is a good idea!

But it’s the Demonicrats who should be impeached, convicted, indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

I honestly believe that many who call for impeachment actually believe such an event would make Hillary President.

Here’s what we do: INSTRUCT enough Republicans to SWITCH PARTIES to give the rats a 1 vote majority. 2) Have those changeovers AGREE to vote FOR impeachment if 100% of the rats agree. Agree to STAY in the rat party and carryout impeachment proceedings until the vote happens. I guarantee it will not get to the Senate. Do this AFTER tax/healthcare/SCOTUS appt.

Both Jonathan Turley and Dershowitz,two of the nation's top Constitutional scholars (and neither being friends of Republicans) have said,basically,"there's no *there* there".

The Rats will stop the impeachment talk *only* when they decide that it's not helping their fundraising.

Ya, because the liberals have decided that Trump does not like homosexuals.

It’s not that Trump is against homosexuals. The issue is that the liberals have decided that the narrative should be, that Trump is against homosexuals.

Whenever there is a conflict between facts and the liberal narrative, the media will push the liberal narrative, regardless of the facts.

They are the party of Waters, Ellison, Sanders, Shumer, Perez, and mysterious nocturnal forest dweller Hillary Clinton.

This is the worst shape I have ever seen the libs in my life. But make no mistake about it, they are louder than ever.

Good point. What would impeachment and Trump being removed from office actually accomplish for them?? Then Mike Pence becomes president. Would the liberals be any happier with Pence in the White House? If anything, they would be worse off, because Pence is much more of a doctrinaire conservative than is Trump.

You had best run away as fast as you can.

Vix had a story up saying “back off” that was removed. I’m told Rolling Stone had a similar story, but didn’t see it.

We are getting tired of waiting for the indictments.

OTOH, I heard most of America has tuned out the MSM; I hope its true. I know I have.

They would find a way to get rid of Pence too because third in line of succession to the presidency is of course the Speaker of the House. That should scare all of us considering who the speaker is today.
