Crazed Democrats And RINO GOP'ers Are Now Preparing To Call For President Trump's Impeachment • Now The End Begins

Crazed Democrats And RINO GOP’ers Are Now Preparing To Call For President Trump’s Impeachment

Last week, Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin suggested the
country needed an “impeachment clock” to track how close the president
was to being removed from office. Pressure might also mount from the
party’s liberal base, which has grown in size and relevance since
Trump’s election, to call for impeachment.

Democratic
strategists are racing to figure out whether it’s politically wise to
call for President Donald Trump’s impeachment, as one bombshell
revelation after another about his ties to Russia is forcing candidates
for the Senate and House of Representatives to consider the question far
sooner than anyone had expected.

In a significant development,
party operatives say they expect Democrats to poll-test the public’s
views on impeachment, trying to acquire hard data about an issue that
until now has not been seriously analyzed. Other strategists say that
candidates and party organizations will begin conducting focus groups on
the question.

These operatives acknowledge they’ve been caught
off guard by the speed with which impeachment has become a relevant
issue – and are wary of the political damage it could cause if not
handled correctly.

Even 10 days ago, before Trump
fired FBI Director James Comey, few party officials had even considered
such a dramatic move, which has happened only twice in American
history.

“I mean, man, it’s not even Memorial Day!” said one Democratic operative.

Only after testing the question with voters will the party have a firmer sense of how it should act.

“I
have no clue, to be honest,” another Democratic operative said when
asked what party strategists made of the politics of impeachment after
The New York Times reported on a Comey memo that alleges Trump asked the
then-FBI director to drop his probe of the president’s first national
security adviser. “Still processing what we’re reading in The Times.”

So far, a handful of Democratic lawmakers have outright called for impeachment.
Most have preferred a more cautious approach, calling for a special
prosecutor to oversee the investigation into Trump officials’ possible
ties to Russia.

Democratic
strategists emphasized that they expect that questions of independent
investigations – and not calls for impeachment – will be the
overwhelming focus for the party in the coming days.

But
on Tuesday night, CNN reported that even Republican lawmakers are now
debating whether to support an independent prosecutor or independent
commission after the latest round of revelations.

And some Democrats are starting to at least entertain the possibility of impeachment.

“If it is, in fact, true, then yes, that is an impeachable offense,” said Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, on CNN.

Last
week, Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin suggested the country
needed an “impeachment clock” to track how close the president was to
being removed from office. Pressure might also mount from the party’s
liberal base, which has grown in size and relevance since Trump’s
election, to call for impeachment. source
