"The threat of impeachment provides Republicans their best point of attack looking toward the midterm elections, and I think we're going to hear a lot more about it from their arsenal as they try to isolate the Robert Mueller investigation and delegitimize it," said Miringoff. "If there's a silver lining for Republicans in this data, it's the impeachment question."
Welcome to political reality. Even though I strongly favor impeaching the dear leader of the fascist GOP, this poll shows that we need to put our purist attitudes aside until after the election.
The next time a politician says, “this isn’t who we are, we’re better than this”, I’m going to scream at them at the top of my lungs. The truth is, we really are a pretty ignorant society that is more concerned about who’s on dancing with the stars than a GOP fascist attack on our democracy.
IMO, many people don’t have a clue what it means to impeach a president, and they even know less about just how corrupt and treasonous Trump and the GOP is. Actually, I hope the Republican cult runs on D’s will impeach Trump. Allowing Democrats to put a giant spotlight on exactly what these corrupt fascists are doing can only help Democrats.
So no, the Democrats can not run on impeaching Trump, but they certainly can run on the corruption of everyone associated with Trump, and they can run on the Republican failure to do anything about it. After the election and if we get a report of just how treasonous Trump really is, then Democrats will have to do their constitutional duty and send a huge message that we will never tolerate this from Republicans again, and impeach him.
RESIST!
