Doesn't this just take the paint off the barn door...

May 23, 2017 9:56 AM EDT - John Podesta says that he sees “no chance that the House would mount the kind of serious investigation” that would lead to the impeachment of Donald Trump. He says that Republican leaders have decided to “velcro their fate” to the president. (Washington Post Live)

Still at it, Connie?

Let's hope he's right.

Having established the "Obama standard," short of stopping in the middle of the SOTU speech to walk down and slap Buzzy Ginzburg back awake I doubt we'll see another presidential impeachment.

Since he started the phony Hillary-lost-because-of-the-Rooskies tale followed by the even more preposterous Trump-campaign-may-have-coluded narrative he should know.

He's seen all the post-mortem polling and analysis about why they actually lost and he knows that neither of those even if true had any effect.

Did you see where 55% of Democrats actually believe that the Russians somehow actually changed vote totals?

I'm shocked it wasn't published in salon.com or alternet.org...

Poll: 55% of Democrats think it’s probably or definitely true that Russia tampered with vote totals to get Trump elected.

Nice catch by the Media Research Center from a broad-based YouGov poll published last week. Virtually everyone in a position to know has shot down the theory that Russia messed with the vote in November. Barack Obama: Nope. James Clapper: Nope. James Comey and Mike Rogers: Nope. It’s been rejected over and over and over again by authorities whom Democrats should trust.

Force-feed a man enough headlines about Russia having “hacked the election,” though, and all of that melts away. YouGov asked whether it’s true or false that “Russia tampered with vote tallies in order to get Donald Trump elected President.”

Proving the unsophisticated nature of the Democrat demographic produces a majority unable to determine fact from fiction. Party leaders nurture and rely on that lack of sophistication in order to disseminate narratives and seditious propaganda memes that undermine their political opposition.

Nobody ever said Carville was stupid. He became a Democrat strategist because DNC "persuadables" are a larger group than GOP has, and easier to mold.

And that is how Donald Trump won.

"Seventy-two percent of registered Republican voters still doubt President Obama's citizenship, according to a recent NBC News|SurveyMonkey poll conducted in late June and early July of more than 1,700 registered voters. And this skepticism even exists among Republicans high in political knowledge."

Don't think stupid is exclusive to Dems.

Any impeachment talk is just from Lefty Loonies such as Maxine Waters and the like....its a general rule in this world, say something over and over and all of a sudden, people believe it. It won't happen.....Trump may not be elected in 4 years, but he will leave office on his terms....not Maxine Waters.....

 

[Beco]

And that is how Donald Trump won.

Trump won, admit it or not, because he had a target message. Hillary had NO message other than bashing Trump...........my guess is, that is the same strategy they use in 2018/2020. It may work next time....

Scare the shit out of people about health care when Obamacare isn't performing, scare the shit out of people for reducing the budget from NIH, god knows we won't get our cancer cure if they do. Scare us all and we will vote for you Dem's to open our borders and have more fun!

There's is far more evidence that that might be the case then evidence of Russian colusion, which even top ranking Democrats admit is entirely non-existant.

My personal view on that in case you were wondering is that he was actually born in the United States and the reason he released that obviously fake birth certificate was because eventually he was going to pull out the real one and make everyone look foolish. Since he never pulled out the real one I'm left wondering. As is everyone else who looked at what he released which was his sister's birth certificate with his name badly photoshopped into it.

 

[Conager]

And that is how Donald Trump won.

As per usual, you have all snark and no knowledge. Did you actually read any of the reports put out by the DNC regarding the autopsy that they performed on this election?

Hillary lost specifically because those persuadables that I just mentioned who voted for Obama decided to vote for Trump because Hillary was not persuasive.

That is a reliable prediction until the midterms.

there is no doubt there will be a shake-up, but the reasons for it are ludicrous

 

[KingOrfeo]

For the investigation, or for the shake-up? There are very sound and compelling reasons for both.

Scare the shit out of people over immigrants, either those who take American jobs or those who worship different ways. Scare the shit out of people over an economy that isn't quite doing as well as it did in the 1990's (under Bill Clinton, BTW). Scare the shit out of people because of a healthcare policy that Republicans have strangled and crippled from the word go. I heard it all from the mouth of Donald Trump.

Her message was "Stay the course," and it did appeal to the majority. It would have been the same regardless of the GOP candidate.

Bashing Trump will have a lot more appeal in 2020 -- and in 2018 -- than it had in 2016, for obvious reasons. It will have some appeal even if Trump is no longer POTUS by then.

I didn't believe this when I read it, and I believe it even less after seeing what I presume to be the poll. BTW, it's almost a year old, which I would not call "recent."

So, why are Democrats expending all their ammunition and political capital now, if there were actually any there, there?

Who said it was recent? It still demonstrates stupid, which knows no time frames. Would you be more likely to believe a Fox News poll? Don't bother answering.

Why were you scared?

The Obama voters thst elected to vote for Trump cited the stagnant economy, but none of the things you fear.

Bill Clinton was solely responsible for the dot-com bubble (which burst?)

Stfu, miles.

No need to impeach the guy. He's "exhausted" after day two of his trip. How long can he last?
