Seconded.


I'm all in favor of embarrassing trump by showing the world how silly Barr's act is...and reminding everyone which republicans vote like trump stormtroopers

And then when you're about to lose all your worldly possessions and your life's work, you begin to rethink that whole unconditional support for the MAGA hat guy:

Newsweek: Iowa farmer who voted for Trump in 2016 says he’ll "never vote for him again" as his family is set to lose $150K in China trade war.

Quote:
Larry Angler, a farmer in Iowa, voted for President Donald Trump in 2016. Now, he says he does not plan to vote for him again because of massive economic losses he expects to incur due to the escalating trade war with China.

Speaking to CNN for an interview aired Wednesday, the Iowan said he expects his family will lose about $100,000 to $150,000 as a result of the trade dispute between Washington and Beijing. When asked by the CNN correspondent if he voted for Trump, Angler was quick to respond:

“I did! I’ll never vote for him again!”



Quote:
Other Iowan farmers interviewed by CNN also expressed frustration with the president, as well as skepticism about his ability to improve trade ties with China.

“He’d better hurry up and start producing a little bit,” said farmer Greg Beaman. “Because this negotiation I’m seeing so far has not panned out.”

Robert Ewoldt told CNN he has been able to keep his farm afloat only by working a second job as a truck driver. “This is survival at this point. I mean, for a lot of operations it is a survival thing,” he said. Ewoldt added that he voted for Trump and now has regrets.

Maybe one the benefits of having a large Democratic field is that if we win the White House and the Senate, we will also have some great detailed policy plans ready to go.

Vox: Jay Inslee is writing the climate plan the next president should adopt

Quote:
Washington governor and presidential candidate Jay Inslee is out with his second package of climate policy proposals. It is dense, ambitious, and long. At 38 pages, it is longer, I would venture to guess, than the complete climate agenda of any other candidate, for any elected position in the US, maybe ever.

And it’s only part two! The campaign says at least three or four more rounds are coming. (I wrote about the first round here.)

Inslee is running for a cabinet spot. And he should get one. Very solid governor who lacks charisma, but is good on policy.

I've seen Inslee interviewed a couple of times. I liked him. He seemed down to earth and normal. It's sad we live in a culture where those qualities are not seen as charismatic enough. I mean, Trump has plenty of charisma and look where that got us.

OJ was a famous celebrity whom a jury judged as "not guilty" because they weren't convinced beyond a reasonable doubt. Most Americans who watched the trial for themselves didn't conclude that OJ was innocent. They concluded that for a variety of reasons (inept prosecution, racism, red herrings, jury nullification, etc) he got away with murder even though he was guilty. And his celebrity and wealth afforded him high-powered attorneys to exploit the system.


It'd be nice if this was all simple and obvious as the OJ Simpson case. It's clearly not and the ramifications for the country run far deeper.

Quote:
I'm sure Trump will try to spin the "not guilty" thing, just like he's tried to spin the "no collusion" thing. But the public doesn't believe him. Only the 38% believe him. Most people who would watch a trial based on the evidence in the Mueller report will not conclude that Trump is "not guilty" even if the Senate doesn't convict him; nor will Trump typing "not guilty" on Twitter ten-thousand times convince anyone except the cult who already don't care if he's guilty or not.

I honestly don't see how MORE people watching evidence of his criminal wrongdoing HELPS HIM. He has not added one voter to his pile since he has been in office. He has his base and that's it. There are a few on the edges that sometimes support him, then don't for a while, then they jump back on.

Just who are these voters that have previously not supported Trump, but after watching an Impeachment Hearing with tons of damning evidence are going to decide, yep poor Trump, I think I'll vote for him next time because those Democrats (who want me to have health care) were mean to him.

Really?


First of all, of course there are voters who linger in the middle and will be watching how an impeachment process will play out and will use an unsuccessful impeachment attempt to justify their continued support for Trump. I know this because I know some of those very people. Their sentiment is that Trump is just a blowhard maverick who pisses people off but he's not really doing anything illegal or improper and they support what he is doing and even how he is doing it.

Secondly, it's not just about how some voters may move, it's about how the GOP itself digs in. A protracted attempt to impeach Trump at this point is going to play right into the hands of the institutional Right who will say that of course the Left is trying to make criminal charges stick because they don't have any other way to bring Trump down. The powerful people on the Right are all in with Trump. There's no dismissing the implications of that reality. They are getting everything they want, no matter how ugly it is. There is no way that the GOP is suddenly going to grow a conscience because an impeachment process underlines everything the world already knows.

The GOP and Trumpers are already 100% for Trump. Educating non-voters, Independents and low-information voters through Impeachment H-E-A-R-I-N-G-S seems to be no-brainer.

The only way Trump won last time was to depress THE DEMOCRATIC TURNOUT just enough to manipulate the electoral college to his advantage with the help of the Russians. I believe Mitt Romney actually outperformed Trump in raw numbers in Republican voting.

We don't need to be afraid of pissing off the GOP/Right -- they are always pissed about something 100% of the time, and if you don't give them something to be pissed about, THEY MAKE SOMETHING UP. We need to worry about educating the non-voters, low-information voters, Independents and motivating our own base -- with an eye toward to the electoral college.

Everyone who has read the Mueller report says IT IS OBVIOUS TRUMP OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE. Most Americans will never read the Mueller report, but most WOULD WATCH LIVE IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS where the report is recreated REALITY TV STYLE.

We're going to have to agree to disagree. We'll eventually see what happens and who had the better theory of the case.

When it comes to major proceedings in Washington, one thing is clear, Success rates are exceedingly low and risks of unintended consequences are exceedingly high. These things are very dirty and take on a life of their own. They aren't controllable and nobody knows the carnage that will be exacted,but there will most definitely be plenty of carnage. Wise folks with plenty of mileage under their political belts, like Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and Nadler, offer caution when it comes to Impeachment. They've a clear understanding of the perils and unintended consequences which can't be known that lay in wait. It's simply not the kind of unpredictability anyone wants going into an election. It would be like a QB starting divorce proceedings the week before the Super Bowl after his wife was caught in an affair with the opposing teams punter. The smart move would be to concentrate on the Super Bowl and deal with the wife and her philandering ways after the game.

There were months of "Watergate Hearings" prior to the "Impeachment Hearings." If the Democrats don't get a move on soon, they look like fearful cowards. Nadler is saying Muller/McGahn testimony is now not expected until June. You know why? Trump and Barr are stonewalling everything and Democratic response is to roll over and play nice instead of playing hardball. That doesn't exactly inspire confidence and excite the base.

The reality is there probably isn't enough time before the election to do hearings, then impeachment debate, then Senate trial. BUT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO AT LEAST START PRE-IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS.

The few hearings that have been held in the last couple of years (Comey, Cohen) saw a dramatic uptick in public disapproval of Trump and higher belief in Comey and Cohen's version of events than in Trump's.

This isn't rocket science. There are no Perry Mason surprise witnesses that will exonerate Trump.

If Dems never conduct a formal House Judiciary Committee impeachment inquiry, Trump's 2020 message will be that Dems' failure to conduct impeachment proceedings "proves" that even *they* didn't think he did anything that was all that bad, including his obstruction of justice.

Sheer idiocy. If they want to play Trump mindgames, how about maybe he doesn't want televised impeachment hearings at all (which he obviously does not), but acts like he does because he knows that will make Dems afraid to go forward? We are in a crisis. Just do the right thing.

People are worried impeachment will help Trump get reelected. And the only thing worse than the damage he's done, is the damage he'll do with 4 more years in office.

The Balance Has Shifted: The Data on Impeachment Favor Moving Ahead

I understand the conservativism of Pelosi, Clinton et al., but this is basically where I stand. I think people underestimate how much people are already sold on how they feel about Trump. Even in 2016, note how much of the Russian propaganda campaign was about lowering Democratic turnout as opposed to convincing swing voters.

Here's a 538 article discussing how voter enthusiasm is abnormally high. This level of political engagement to me is almost certainly in response to Trump. Which is to say, the number of swing voters who'll be turned off by impeachment proceedings isn't very high to begin with. CL's been saying for a while there is actually upside in impeachment, i.e. by having truth come to the forefront. But even beyond that, the downside (and upside, but that's irrelevant here) is limited by how "inelastic" voters generally are.

538's most opinionated pundit basically comes to the same conclusion on this exact question. Yeah it's risky, but it's not risky enough to outweigh what I feel is morally right (impeachment).

I'm mostly concerned with how I think impeachment proceedings would look in terms of the election; we know he's not getting convicted in the Senate. However, I think I would do it. Not because it's the right thing to do morally (it is, but that's not why I would do it), but because I actually think it will help the Democrats. Much of the public is genuinely unaware of the details. Get it out there. Hammer it home. It will help with Trump fatigue going into the election, I think.

Oh please . . . it's not about "political expediency" and you know it. The only "expediency" in play is making sure that Trump gets stopped in 2020. Because if he isn't, he and GOP will continue to erode the Constitution to a non-factor. You can't fulfill a "duty" to something that doesn't effectively exist anymore. And if you want to talk about political expediency, nothing says that more than posturing about political appearances and doing things because they feel morally correct.

Defeating Trump and reigning in the GOP is the constitutional duty we have right now. Not sitting on a high horse trumpeting about ideological obligations (pun unintended )

If you believe much of the public is unaware, then why do you believe that is? Trump has been the number one news story almost every day for the past 3 years, yet you believe many folks are still unaware? If that's the case, what's going to suddenly make those people aware? Clearly they aren't following the news closely. Do you realise that the Clinton Impeachment proceedings wasn't even the #1 followed news story of 1998? It was Kosovo. And the result of the Clinton Impeachment was that those who were watching it closely resulted in every Republican that played a featured role in the fiasco ended up getting booted out of office. Newt Gingrich started the proceedings as one of the most popular politicians in the country, and ended with him without a job. Ken Starr's dream was to make it to the Supreme Court, and ended with that being a lifetime impossibility. Bottom line is there is unpredictable fallout and when you already know there is a zero percent chance of conviction in the Senate what's the point? Non voters who aren't already following the news will become outraged through osmosis? Low information voters who aren't already following the news will suddenly become enraged? Unlike 1998, we live in a 24/7 news cycle with tons of social media inundation. Anyone that cares to know already knows because it's literally everywhere. Can't avoid Trump news unless you simply don't care. And even then you have to try pretty hard to not get any Trump info. Yet we're meant to believe those who don't already know the ills of Trump would be suddenly moved to give a crap?


Quote:
"Impeachment is hell," warned independent counsel Ken Starr, whose exhaustive investigative report on Clinton was the basis for the House vote, taken precisely 20 years ago Wednesday. Starr thought through all that happened in writing his new book, Contempt: A Memoir of the Clinton Investigation. With the benefit of hindsight, he said in an interview, "The better call would have been a resolution of censure," a measure that would have expressed disapproval of the president's actions but left him in office.



Quote:
Trent Lott, then the Senate majority leader, was one of 45 senators who voted to convict Clinton, but he has second thoughts of his own. "I do think he made mistakes," Lott said in an interview. "But in retrospect, I think it probably should not have been done."
