Sorry, I just don't see 20 Republican votes to convict.
The Left wanted Nixon impeached in his first term, long before Watergate.
They didnt want Reagan sworn in and wanted to pursue impeachment over Iran Contra in his second term. They wanted Bush out in his first term because of conspiracies about the 1980 hostages release. They wanted Bush II out in his first term and wanted Abu Ghraib as the excuse.
The peaceful transfer of power was gone by 1960.
But there weren’t enough votes to remove Nixon until the culmination of the most successful propaganda campaign the nation had ever seen.
I think “they” took out JFK.
I think “they” took out Nixon.
I think “they” are desperate to take out Trump.
Nixon was the precedent.
Why would you be surprised? The Democrats only have one playbook, and it’s not very thick. They run the same plays over and over and over and over.
But just as in actual football the more you run a play the less effective it becomes. They got Nixon because in the three channel universe of 1974 they managed to drive his approval number among REPUBLICANS into the 20’s.
Trump is at 90+% with Republicans and it’s solid. The scam is not going to work this time.
Like you, once they’ve exhausted all options, I’m worried about the ol’ .38 caliber electoral vote.
I think “they” also tried to take out Reagan...and failed.
I was reading about Watergate and read that it was two investigative reporters from the Washington Post that got it all started. It looks like they are still up to the same tricks. It worked once they figure it will work again but Trump isn’t Nixon.
Isn’t it interesting that, since the end of WWII, the presidents who arguably tried hardest to raise the US up against the Globalists have been JFK, Nixon, Reagan, and Trump? And somehow bad things happened to each of them ...
We need to retake the house in 2020.
But we also need to hold the senate.
“The U.S. Senate has 53 Republicans and 47 Democrats (including two independents). There are 35 seats up in 2020 - including special elections in Arizona and Georgia - of which 23 are held by the GOP. Democrats will need to gain 3 or 4 seats to take control.” - https://www.270towin.com/2020-senate-election/
“They” couldn’t wait to put the shooter back on the streets fast enough.
Meanwhile the guy who didn’t save one for Ono won’t ever see freedom.
Yes, I think it needs to be stopped in the Senate.
If Trump is removed we will have a civil war.
Its disgusting.
The left has control over the MSM and uses it for propaganda, but too many know the truth and have alternative news sources.
There will be no impeachment...........................
Nixon may have won in a landslide in 1972, but by 1974 the public scene had changed dramatically. Not only did we have the turmoil of the Arab oil embargo in our energy markets, but just look at this comparison of key economic indicators between 1972 and 1974:
1. Unemployment rate: 5.2% (1972) vs. 7.2% (1974)
2. GDP growth: 5.3% (1972) vs. -0.5% (1974)
3. Inflation: 3.4% (1972) vs. 12.3% (1974)
That 1974 inflation figure is staggering. In fact, the combination of negative GDP growth and high inflation made 1974 one of the worst "economic misery" years of the post-WW2 period, rivaling 1946 and 1979-1980.
POTUS needs to sue Madame Speaker.
“But there werent enough votes to remove Nixon until the culmination of the most successful propaganda campaign the nation had ever seen.”
The senate was 56 to 44 counting conservative independent votes to the GOP. The Dems could do anything they wanted.
