If you follow the recent polls – and God knows why you would – they indicate that a slim majority – around 52 percent or so – favor impeaching President Trump. Some polls even indicate that a majority of the American public favor removing him from office.
That gives Democrats a rationale for moving ahead with their three-and-a-half-year campaign to undo the 2016 election. It is now 99.9 percent certain that they will impeach the President. They are claiming popular support.
Since at least one or two Republicans in the House and Utah Senator Mitt Romney in the Senate have expressed support for the impeachment inquiry, Democrats also claim bipartisan support. A few outliers are not, however, an indication of bipartisan support.
But then there are those other polls – the ones that get much less notice by the east coast left-wing news media. Those are the state-based polls in such battleground states as Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. In those key states, most folks OPPOSE impeachment. In those critical swing congressional districts in which a Democrat won in a district previously carried by Trump, the voters are very much OPPOSED to impeachment. The numbers generally run in the 53 to 40 range against — with the remainder undecided.
These numbers should scare the hell out of Democrats presidential candidates and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It could mean the re-election of Trump and the re-taking of the House by the GOP if they proceed with impeachment – and they have little choice but to impeach. If they did not vote to impeach, their radical base would go nuts and Trump would rightfully declare all their talk of criminal and impeachable behavior to be political nonsense.
The apparent disparity in the polling numbers between the national figures and the state-based figures reflects the same dynamic that gave Trump the majority in the Electoral College even as Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. It could happen again based on the current polling numbers.
It is the weight of the large populations in blue states. Such states a California, New York and Illinois produce HUGE numbers for the Democrats – ergo votes for impeachment. But no matter how lopsided the numbers, the votes in the Electoral College would favor Trump. You can win California with 90 percent of the vote, but if you lose Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, you are losing the election.
In 2016, California alone gave Clinton the votes needed to gain a majority of the popular vote. But it was Trump’s narrow victories in several of the key battleground states that gave him the Electoral College by a significant amount – and with it, the presidency.
If you translate the current polling numbers to votes in the 2020 General Election – and assume that Trump can carry states and congressional districts in which there is opposition to impeachment, much less removal – it is very possible that 2020 could be a repeat of 2016. The Democrat candidate might again win the popular vote – based on lopsided majorities in California and New York — and still, lose the Electoral College votes to Trump.
An additional danger for Pelosi is that many of those Trump congressional districts that flipped in 2018 will flop in 2020 – giving back the majority in the House to the GOP and sending Pelosi into retirement.
Pelosi & Company fully understand that it is extremely unlikely that the Senate will remove Trump from office. They are banking on inflicting enough damage on Trump and the Republican brand to enable them to win both the White House and the Senate. It is a high-risk strategy with no guarantee that it will not backfire. But Democrats are already well down the slippery slope of impeachment. Whether it is a good strategy for Democrats or a potential disaster, only time will tell.
So, there ‘tis.
If you want to know what the Dems have been doing behind closed doors, everything that leaks where they are accusing the Right — is what the dems have been doing. This is the biggest case of Political Projection ever witnessed!
My President Mr. Trump. President of the people. The man that has the biggest balls in the swamp. Thanks for taking care of business unlike BORACK insane oblama on ali bigdaddy. You will see us all in 2020 (CLEAR AS DAY)
In Nevada County, California where I live there were parked cars with Ballots in the trunk found. We are not Democratic! We hate crooked politicians, that’s why they cheat. The Elections here in California are rigged. I owned a Beauty shop here for 14 years, nobody was voting for Hillary, no one wanted more taxes, bullet train from nowhere to nowhere, homeless using the streets as their toilet spreading disease ( I won’t even take my kids and grandkids to the zoo museum, or anywhere else in the city ). That is why they need illegals to vote, we who were born and raised here are sick of the Communist leaning Dictators they put in office without our vote. Constitution bashing, anti-straight, anti-family, anti-first amendment, anti-second amendment, anti-God, anti American Politicians. Most people where I live are Conservative. We have family values, our kids do 4-H. The schools shoving the gay rhetoric down everyone’s throats is infuriating. Where is the separation of Church and State? You can’t force public school to teach Homosexuality, Muslim doctrine, mindless obedience etc. but they are. Ever wonder what your children hear at school? You should. Sorry but Socialist Democrats have no place in a free society and if we are to remain free, we must turn away from these dangerous people and throw every one of them out of our Government now, before it is too late. I for one do not want to be a Socialist or Communist.
Amen!
It is definitely time to get rid of pelosi & Company, I am so sick and tired of them wasting my tax dollars and time on this BS. pelosi & and the rest of the democrats are worried about their corrupt lined pockets, and not enough attention to Americans well being and safety. Just like obama, they intend to bring America to distraction, to line their pockets, and the #### with America. President Trump has done wonders for America and the Americans.
President Trump will take it in 2020 and continue to make America great, and hopefully DRAIN THE SWAMP OF CORRUPTION TOTALLY.
The DEPLORABLE MEDIA is to be BLAMED for a lot of this CRAP ! IF, they would REPORT the NEWS like
it should be done and report it correctly and knock off all this FAKE NEWS the WORLD would run a lot smoother. BUT, no the DERANGED and DEPLORABLE NEWS MEDIA has to put HABITUAL LYING CRAP
on the wire and call it true news. The NEWS now days U better look the other way if you WATCH the DERANGED and DEPLORABLE CNN, MSM, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or NBC U better not listen to their CRAP because it is DEPLORABLE FAKE NEWS and unfairly told. I would watch A ON OR FOX NEWS CHANNEL before any of the other CRAP CHANNEL’S.
Our country is going to hell in a hand basket. Never have I seen such mean, inconsiderate people. It’s spreading like wildfire and I blame the news media. They don’t look for truth. They look for slander and dirt. What is happening in the rest of the world? The last time we saw something that made us feel good was the reporting of our beloved “Nats” and baby shark. Because of their constant negativity on every TV station, over and over again, suicide is climbing, kids are shooting, there is no respect for authority and Congress is being seen as acting like high school bullies. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Change your slant news people. Quit making stuff up. No one is believing you anymore.
Everyone should be voted out of office this election. If we can start fresh, the American public will be in control again. The deals representatives make behind closed doors while they sit in office for years and years, forgetting their constituents and creating laws they don’t have to live by and acting like fools fighting with each other when they should be working together to make our nation great, not destroying it, shouldn’t be happening. Why are we, the people, allowing it? When did the news media start telling us what to think instead of just reporting “unbiased” news? When did it all change?
Donald Trump has more back bone than any other President in our time,and I am 68 years old.
Thank you Mr President!
gotta ❤️Trump
Democrats want to lead us into a muslim, socialist nation, isn’t that some crazy thinking, there spending so much time on impeaching Trump they haven’t taken care of anything important so what good are they to the american people if all they do is loot and steal and line there pockets ? Obama has done major damage and still is, he needs to be locked up. Everyone just did what ever he said no questions, but they have ridden Trumps back ever since he got in and he truly loves this country. It sickens me to know the people we put in office and are running, oh I mean ruining our country are so sick and corrupted .
The Democrats do not care about Americans or America. They are all socialists. If they are elected say good-bye to our freedom. They want to ban cows (beef & milk), control where you drive and how often, control your water intake, control you lights, no guns (except for criminals), you are only allowed I child, push homosexuality, push same-sex marriage, push abortions, they are anti-God (our Creator), anti-Christians, they will take your home, take your 401K, raise taxes, raise healthcare premiums, have control of your every move. This is the end of America as we know it. I don’t understand why Liberals can’t see the corruption.
