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.'"

Shouldn’t Wily end up lying on that boulder he tossed?
Oops. Nancy stepped in it bigly when the Starbucks crowd is against it.
It sickens me to know there are still white men out there who vote Democrat. They still vote for the party that despises everything about them. Maybe they are transvestites? There’s definitely something wrong with them.
“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.’” Imagine, this guy is 48 years old and still too stupid to see that this is all made up and Trump has done a great amoun of good for a great amount of real Americans. “Party over country!” what a schmuck.
Is there any proof to this statement?
Sorry, just re-read the top of the article again, I see it there.
The Senate doesn't have the authority under the Constitution to stop an impeachment trial. Their only role in the matter is to vote guilty or not guilty on the Articles of Impeachment after a trial. The person with the authority to dismiss the Articles without a trial is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who would be the presiding judge in an impeachment trial.
Chief Justice Roberts will preside. It takes 2/3 of the Senate to convict.
Roberts is likely compromised. The fireworks may begin with a disclosure of that bit prior to the trial.
Interesting that Scalia would have been Chief. Him being murdered paved the way a bit for a Roberts court.
Could 2/3 convict? Anything is possible. However, there would be a trial. Period. That’s in the Constitution. The articles are referred to the Senate. Senate is the jury. Roberts is the judge.
Where it will get interesting is in the TELEVISING of the proceedings. ‘National Security’ is going to be invoked any time anything of any exculpatory value is presented and the protection will be deemed as outweighing the merits of public access to the proceedings.
That last bit is where it gets potentially incendiary. Conviction in secret, where he gets removed from office and we’re told, ‘Trust us.’
They say it’s going to enrage his supporters because they KNOW it’s wrong and how they would feel if the roles were reversed
The Pennsylvania Demwit said he feared party over country, what a mealy-mouthed stupid hypocrite SOB.
They are still trying to stop Trump’s Ukraine investigation.
Thats why I left the Democrat Party. Common sense makes no sense to a leftist. I wanted to keep my brain from turning into mush!
” I live in a very liberal area that carries the whole state and I dont know one voter switching from Hillary to Trump in 2020.”
Me too but I know a long time Democrat activist who did a “Walk Away” video.
She started calling me on topics asking me if I saw the same thing?
Typically, I’d say, of course. She had her eyes opened to reality. She said when we used to talk she thought I was “crazy” and she didn’t understand.
Because to her, the language I spoke was all but foreign to her. She’s an exception but she’s not alone. I hear others are quietly flipping over too. You don’t see people flipping to the Rats.
They maintain their base of loyalists who don’t care how dirty or illegal they act.
But others and independents will not be so easily misled.
“I just fear ‘party over country.”
The democrat putsch continues.
And why did the board not immediately follow Wiley through the hole? Things the average democrat would not notice.
Be careful what you wish for! In their efforts to undermine a sitting, duly elected president they have shot themselves in the foot.Grab the popcorn...
Faggots, no doubt.
