Yeah, the Dems should stick to their strengths: race hatred and gun control. That’s the ticket.

“Democratic leaders don’t want to make impeachment a central tenet of their pitch to voters....”


They already have.

“...especially given Trump’s low approval ratings”

Still, NPR has to put in their little bias.

The survey finds that 47 percent of registered voters would definitely vote against a candidate who wanted to remove Trump from office, while 42 percent would definitely vote for a candidate who would make such a promise. Forty-seven percent of independent voters — whose opinions could be decisive — also say they would vote against candidates favoring impeachment.


registered voters. 89% have strong feelings.

according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.


The samples were then combined and balanced to reflect the 2016 American Community Survey 1-year estimates for age, gender, income, race, and region.

Our side should be expressing earnest fear about impeachment if Democrats win. Trump should do and say whatever it is that occurs to him. His instincts and calculation seem superior to those of the newsies. NPR is telling the Democrats to lay off the impeachment talk until after they win the mid-terms.

Even if the Democrats do gain a House majority impeachment will not matter to Donald Trump much at all, or at least any more than the explosion of House opposition that will come with a Democrat majority. He will not lose the Senate and mere impeachment without conviction will simply not have the effect on him that it had on Clinton.

They can’t make a U turn on impeachment. They are way too far out in front on this and it’s not just the ash hole in California. SIXTY SIX of these insane people voted for impeachment in January. Of course most of them voted for impeachment to get fund raiser material to squeeze money out of the scumbags that vote Democrat. Now they are stuck with their vote.
Worry weenies take note: If impeachment is underwater now think of how bad it will be in November.

I believe that the relentless vendetta against Trump justifies a similar response against the corrupt FBI, DOJ and Obama administration.

Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, said arguing to voters that Democrats would try to stymie Trump and remove him from office could be one of the most salient messages for Republicans this fall, especially given Trump's low approval ratings...
51 percent is "low", say this shill house. Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.

Shhhhhhhhh! Let them find out the hard way. After the election.

I think by refusing to fire Mueller, Trump is giving the Dems. enough rope to hang themselves. It appears they are just about there.

Yep, they’ve been pushing the whole #Resistance meme since the week after the election. Too late to make that go away now.

I always wondered how many GOP voters support the swamp. I guess it is 16%.

1. Impeaching Trump would mean President Pence.

2. They can’t possibly muster the votes for impeachment unless they control the House, which can’t happen until after this November’s elections.

3. The new house isn’t seated until 4 January. That only leaves 16 days for the House to impeach and the Senate to convict before the midpoint of Trump’s term.

4. It takes the Senate longer than 16 days to do lunch.

5. The 22nd Amendment stipulates that a POTUS who takes office with less than two years of the term remaining IS STILL ELIGIBLE to be elected to TWO FULL TERMS.

6. Impeaching & convicting Trump potentially could lead to 9 1/2 years of President Pence.
