Jason Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Given this morning's promise to protect Rocket Man from the CIA, I think we know one of the foreign countries feeding the Trump campaign information. Quote

Initiating the impeachment process greatly strengthens their position. And there wasn't majority support for impeaching Nixon until the process started. Quote

So wait... you guys really think that if the Dems initiate impeachment proceedings in the House, THIS Republican Senate would go against Trump and join the Dems? Really?! 1 Quote

I don't really think this Senate will vote to convict, but I do think that not initiating impeachment is a great way to disillusion Democrats and independents into staying home in 2020, while impeaching WOULD fire up turnout.

Yeah... on HIS side too. I'm all for impeaching the fucker but not if all it's gonna do is get him reelected. The Republicans suffered DEARLY for impeaching Clinton and the Dems are weary of that. And by the way, NOT ONE REPUBLICAN has spoken out against what Trump has said tonight. Not ONE. Oh and if Dems and Independents stay home and this fucker gets reelected for ANY reason, then it's on US. The electorate. Either that or folks are no where near as outraged by this President as they may pretend to be. All the reason to vote him out of office are there. Quote
RedSoxFan9 Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Republicans impeached Clinton for bullshit reasons. Trump could be impeached using nothing other than direct quotes. Quote

Firing up anti-Trump voters is far more important than worrying about firing up Trump's voters. "Don't campaign in Wisconsin so that Trump doesn't campaign there" didn't work for Hillary in 2016 and I didn't front see why it'd work for the Democrats this time either. Quote

You've got a lot of independents who aren't paying enough attention to understand why they should be fired up, but would get it with the news cycle being dominated by impeachment coverage forcing them to pay attention.

So they haven't been paying attention to the last two years? Even if they're "Anti-Trump"? The news cycle is dominated by Trump almost every night. Quote

You're assuming that they pay attention every day like we do, and understand this in terms of one big interconnected story, and not individual news snippets. Quote

I don’t think this is accurate. It sounds plausible, but I don’t believe it is actually backed up in the way the voting turned out in 2000. Quote

It's "conventional wisdom" that it hurt the GOP, but nothing really supports that. They lost the Senate, which as we're seeing now is probably more important than the fact that they kept the House. And Gorge would have won if SCOTUS hadn't stolen the presidency for Bush--you know they knew they were stealing it when they twisted themselves in knots about "this ruling isn't precedent for future identical circumstances". That said I agree with the overall point that the failed impeachment certainly didn't DEVASTATE them and that they were still largely viable. Quote
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 The 1998 midterm elections which were the closest in proximity to the entire impeachment situation showed no discernible impact from it as the GOP retained control of both houses of Congress. Quote
