The Trump implosion thread!

But let's not make the naive assumption that Congress is occupied by honest, honorable men who would never dream of abusing their power. My point is that the criteria for impeachment & conviction has nothing to do with whether the allegations are serious or whether the evidence is overwhelming. That part is irrelevant. The only criteria for conviction is whether 67 Senators decide it's in their own best interest for their own political careers to remove the President. The bottom line is that the President has no ability to appeal a bogus conviction, and every single member of Congress knows that. All that matters is the next election.

My personal prediction is that the Dems will take the House in November, and the GOP will maintain control of the Senate. I'm predicting that the House will pass Articles of Impeachment in 2019. But there is absolutely no way that 67 Senators will vote to convict. Ain't gonna happen.

Only disagree is I do not think they House will pass Articles of Impeachment.

What do they as the impeachable offence, so far they have nothing.

the verdict is determined before any evidence is presented.

Yes, meaning it will never happen.
Unless the president is guilty of
some heinous crime, no senator
in his right mind will vote to remove
a president his own party elected.
If this was a Dem House and Senate,
1/3 of the Repubs are not going to
vote their own man out of office.
It would be suicide for their next
election. That's why it's never happened
and never will happen.

CNN's version 36% job approval. Among independents, it dropped from 47% to 31% in a month.

UNfavorability (not job performance) 61% up from 55%

32% see him as honest and trustworthy.

In a different poll, overall most people are happy if not thrilled with the economy, but that positivity has not translated to positives for Trump.

None of that means that the Senate republicans would vote to remove him from office. As things stand now, I don't believe they would.

I count... Eight... Count em eight live interview polls finished in the last 2 weeks... Each one has Trump's approval dropping from the last poll.
