Republicans see impeachment backfiring. Democrats fear they may be right

Reuters) - Having his morning coffee and cigarette outside a Starbucks in one of the most politically contested counties in the United States, Richard Sibilla recoils at the memory of President Donald Trump's election.

But impeach him now? Sibilla can see little upside.

"After this he has a much better chance of winning another election, as scary as that sounds," said Sibilla, 39, a resident of Pinellas County, Florida, who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. "It's not even worth following because it's all going to help him."

Among the public, interviews with more than 60 voters across four of the most important counties in the 2020 election showed Republicans largely confident the impeachment process will backfire and Trump will win re-election. Democrats, on the other hand, are worried they may be right.

Marc Devlin, a 48-year-old consultant from Northampton County, Pennsylvania, said he expects the inquiry to "incense" supporters of the president. "This is my fear, that it will actually add some flame to his fire with his base," he said. "I just fear 'party over country.'"

What the DemocRATS and their Media have forgotten is that Americans like an Underdog; especially one that is being piled on UNFAIRLY. And if that Underdog has done you good, they love the Underdog even more.

Trump has given America Jobs, a tax cut, trade deals that benefits them that the DEMS all oppose?? Trump they will love and DEMS they will H8.

Just look at Whistleblowergate, it is flimsy as h*ll. The average American will say WTFrick, what's wrong again in Washington. And when they figure out that it's the DemocRATS who do nothing for them but only impeachment after impeachment hearings on top of the JOKE Mueller Fiasco. They will say "Enough is Enough" and vote the DEMS OUT!

When they figure out the DEMS CARE MORE FOR ILLEGALS, TAKING AWAY THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE AND GIVING IT TO ILLEGALS, it will be not No But H*LL NO!

When they figure out the DEMS WANT TO OBLITERATE AMERICA, they will flood the polls and VOTE THE B*STRDS OUT!

Without all of your expertise, I have arrived at some of the same conclusions as yourself. I have even thought of getting an “IMPICH” sign for the back of my pickup. I didn’t realize that the process would open up all of that discovery. I wonder if Pelosi won’t figure all of this out soon and abort this process- she does have a cat’s ability to land on her feet, and she is historically very astute. There are already reports of the Trump money raising campaign exploding. I think it’s going to be an interesting ride. The majority of the dim party is allowing this TDS on steroids thing to cause them to totally lose it.

Hi.

“Pinellas County, Florida, who voted for Hillary Clinton”

Pinellas county went for Trump. Hillsborough county went for Cankles.

I don’t know one either. I live in a very liberal area that carries the whole state and I don’t know one voter switching from Hillary to Trump in 2020. All could not wait to vote in the midterms and have been ready to vote in 2020 since the day after the election in 2016. These are not persuadables, so hopefully there are others out there who are. I’m thinking a more blue collar area may have converts.

No there doesn’t. The Senate could essentially dismiss the matter with no trial at all, and no avenue of appeal, either.

I fear you are exactly correct. The Republicans in the Senate know full well that an actual Senate trial will expose some of their own as complicit in the ongoing attempted coup. It may even have to vote on a resolution to exhume McCain from Arlington.

“I just fear ‘party over country.’”

The country will have four more years of great news, economically, internationally, and domestically. The fact that it will also help RINOs get reelected is unavoidable, but they’re getting older.

The House can impeach him for whatever the can garner enough votes for impeachment. If that means if they have the votes to impeach him for the 2 scoops of ice cream, then he gets impeached for the ice cream “scandal”.

“Yeah, but it’s a minority with money.
And that’s what matters to the Dems, all that matters.”

Didn’t we see yesterday that big donors are revolting against giving their money to Warren?
