Politics Official: Trump Impeached

Honest question - why do people think Impeachment helps Trump? Because non-voters before (2016) are now pissed off he got impeached and want to vote for him? And there's enough people in that bucket to make this now a landslide win? I dont get it. I cant imagine someone not liking Trump, he gets impeached, now they want to vote for him because of that? I know some people who didnt vote before will vote next time around, and some will be Dem and some Rep. But who changes their vote - or votes now - because of impeachment?

 

You're the type of person who claps when your plane lands.

 

I hate flying last year or so only had to do it a couple of times but for a while, it was really frequent and I definitely got excited every time we landed and I could get off that thing heh.

 

Those were the only two options you came up with heh.

 

I don't really think it helps or hurts him. It really seems like in the world of politics these days nothing matters.

 

The fact that Trump was indeed impeached will hurt him in the long run at the polls...I also don't think the Dems have played all their cards yet.

 

There is always a write in option this is a democracy (well not really, but kinddddd of).

 

It will fire up his base. The worse thing for a candidate is apathy and a lot of people may have been like

"Yeah, I voted for Trump to see what will happened. Whatevever now, too lazy to vote now".

Now the democrats are pushing this bullshit impeachment forward, and most of the supporters or those who were apathetic will see that as an afrontment to their vote. That is firing up his base.

As for the congressional districts, now opponents in swing locations will use this impeachment vote as an attack ad.

"This congressperson voted to impeach Trump with zero reason to do so. Vote them out, etc".

Maybe it will work, but maybe it won't, but like I said, the worst thing for Trump would have been Apathy. Now he can play the victim and say he's being screwed, the voters are being screwed and we need to vote the obstructionist democrats, who's sole focus was to "get" Trump while ignoring their real job, which is serving the voters, passing laws, etc.

Staying the course would have probably beat Trump. Now, who knows. Not saying its set in stone, but his chances are better now to win re-election because the Democrats think they can change the course of things by taking shortcuts.

You will hear the term "Obstructionist Democrats" a lot.

 

More of a complete answer is IIRC Pelosi was very hesitant to go ahead with the Impeachment, to begin with, and we all know she had the House votes to impeach whenever she wanted to do it, the "hearings" and all that changed a total of 0 people's minds. See she probably saw it as a possibility that the "impeachment" would incite voters who quietly leaned right but didn't vote to go vote, or could make the Democrats and their candidates look bad and create division in the ranks of Democrats.

I think it's absolutely plausible there are people out there who believe that the impeachment helped Trump and some of them aren't gaslighting or wishfully hoping for it.

 

lol...you mean his base that is not as big as it used to be?

 

We'll see what happens. He has more mainstream republican support now. They unified behind him to thwart this impeachment by the Dems.

 

I think his butts getting bigger every day!

 

...uhhh, no he doesn't...in fact, not only is his "base" shrinking, but the number of them who support impeach are growing.

 

ok, you believe that then. I'm just giving my opinion on what is happening and I'm usually right.

 

...well, like I already said, your "opinion on what is happening" is flawed.

 

The impeachment high wore off already, huh Rickles?

By the way, I thought you passed away.

Hey, just googled you. Says you died in April of 2017.
