Agreed. As I wrote earlier, a key difference is the economy. So far, so good under Trump. Nixon may have weathered his self-inflicted wound like Clinton did, if inflation/oil price rises demand didnt choke off growth. Indeed, Nixon’s polling trends mirror the economic trends.

As long as the economy remains humming in 2020, voters in MI, PA, WI, NH, and MN won't give a rip about the Ukraine or Biden even IF Trump is impeached. Indeed, I suspect Trump has a series of plan Bs and plan Cs to be shared with Dems (oh, a dossier on Clinton and a few select high-ranking Dems) that would make them think twice about pursuing this sham.

“There was NOT ONE slightly conservative news outlet in the 70’s it was ONLY the MSM!!”

Maybe US News&World Report. But no outlet that had any mass influence

Twitter is king! 70 million feeding on hundreds of conservative sources.

MSM is dead to us. The corporate media is an echo chamber to the left.

That’s why polling is dead too. The real numbers are found in the social media realm and twitter delivers at the speed of light. We had details on the changes in the whistleblower documentation today and it’s all around the country in just seconds. We knew long before Fox had it.

Don’t be fooled. MSM is an echo chamber. They know their constiutiency and they program their tabloid propaganda to keep them coming back.

The Hill is the biggest nest of lying pigs on the planet. They make CNN look honest. As for Nixon, the 55 mile an hour speed limit during the summer of 1974 made people hate his guts.

Deep Throat was a FBI goon too. Some deep state hack who hated the president and wanted to overturn the election results.

I’m with LS.

1. This is not Watergate.
2. Today’s media have minimal public trust among swing voters (or they would not be swing voters).
3. The “Impeach” mantra has weakened the democrats. If they actually had justification (and I haven’t seen any good excuse yet), no one would believe after they f=cried wolf so many times.

Concern is lovely, but this is not the time for it. Rather, it’s the time to go on the offensive - challenge seriously for every House and Senate seat that is anywhere near competitive and more the entire election to a referendum on Trump’s policies rather than local issues. Impeachment without a crime helps decent Americans beyond measure.
