Articles of impeachment were written. It was a matter of days if not hours. Nixon saved everyone a lot of grief and then Ford further inflamed the matter.
Trump approval rises, support for impeachment drops in new poll By Paul Steinhauser | Fox News Trump trashes Democrats and impeachment process: It’s a mark on our country President Trump accuses Pelosi of declaring war on democracy; John Roberts reports. A new poll released hours before the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives was poised to impeach President Trump indicates that by a 51-45 percent majority, Americans oppose removing the president from office. The survey – released Wednesday morning by Gallup – also points to a drop in support for impeachment from October, when the inquiry into Trump got underway. At that time, according to Gallup, Americans supported impeachment by a 52-46 margin. And the poll, which was conducted Dec. 2-15, indicates that the Republican incumbent’s approval rating has edged up the past two months – from 39 percent in October to 45 percent now – as the House held blockbuster public hearings. While all the surveys indicate a deep partisan divide between Democrats and Republicans over impeachment, most of the polls suggest that a majority of independent voters oppose booting Trump from the White House. Surveys from Quinnipiac University, Gallup, PBS/NPR/Marist, and USA Today/Suffolk University all point to a majority of independents opposed to impeaching and removing the president from office. And the polls also spotlight a gender divide – with majorities of men opposing and women supporting – on impeaching and removing Trump from the White House. The surveys also show an uptick in the president’s approval rating from October to December. The GOP-controlled Senate is expected to acquit Trump.
I answer intelligent questions pertaining to reality. The fact you continually refer to all conservative opinions and successes as "drivel" and the largest, most popular cable news organization in the history of the world as a "right wing web site" indicates why your questions are not to be taken seriously. Nixon was not impeached, nor was he ever charged with a crime. Johnson was obviously something we can never really know the facts about. Reagan was not impeached either, though the Dems tried mightily to do so. Clinton was easily convicted of 9 Felony counts, and disbarred, but mysteriously did not die in prison as he should have. As today's circus has revealed, Dems are trying to Impeach without any basis, without any crimes mentioned, just because they are immature, hateful, anti-American losers who want to overthrow the Constitution and deny American citizens the right to vote for their representatives. That is clearly treasonous. It's not playing out well for them at all and the party is quickly making a mockery out of themselves. Trump is pretty much guaranteed a huge win in 2020, doesn't really have to even campaign.
No you don't. What were those felonies? When was he convicted? By what court? You should be able to answer those questions. Unless, of course, the truth is that he was convicted of zero felonies, and you are making stuff up? barfo
Trump will be impeached today. He will be saved by the Republicans in the senate. A shame they have sold their souls, latched to Trumps ass like Barnacles on the hull of a ship. I can't tell where Trump ends and they begin. Hopefully, enough of them will find they have a conscience and sustain the Houses's finding. Won't happen, but hey he will be impeached.
If they Dems wanted to impeach him from Day 1, why did they vote against Impeachment three times? They tried to avoid it but ultimately, had no choice but to do their job.
I'm not sure why the Republicans are so against the impeachment ultimately. If he was removed from office, Mike Pence would be President. They'd still have a Republican in office. Why sink their careers and reputations by backing Trump?
Why the actual Republican politicians back Trump? Because the people who voted for Trump would have voted for him with just about any vice president running mate. Nobody likes Pence. If the R politicians vote to convict Trump they face the voters over it. The same reason the D's in swing states said they had to think about. Not sure why it is even a question.
Pelosi's strategy is sinisterly brilliant. She's going to let Trump marinate over impeachment and is stonewalling the Republicans quick exoneration. Squirm Trump squirm!
