Opinion: Want to impeach Trump? Go convince the voters.

Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

[Host] George Stephanopoulos: This Department of Justice is . . . saying they’ve turned over almost the entire Mueller report unredacted. The attorney general, William Barr, has testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. They’re saying they’re prevented by law from giving over this grand jury information so what’s the difference here?

Turning to Trump’s statement, that it would be appropriate to ask a foreign country to investigate a claim involving former vice president Joe Biden, Schiff explained, “Of course it’s not appropriate. . . . And here the president of the United States is saying it’s perfectly okay for him — and he has said this before — to go to the attorney general and get them to open an investigation of his rivals.

After taking us through examples such as Turkey, Poland and Hungary, the authors explain: “President Trump’s repeated deployment of government power against the press — unprecedented in modern times in this country — replicates the playbook used by strong-man leaders and their allies in Hungary, Poland, Russia, Turkey, and elsewhere to erode the democratic institutions in those countries.

But first, line up his accomplishments, whether you agree with them or not and what the circus clown car of candidates has done and has to offer the American public..

I still believe that Trump is so bad at this job that he will destroy himself. With ego, with ignorance, the real problem is being sure he destroys himself, not us.

No they are ready now. Impeach Barr also.

BoSnerdley Fake News/WaPo last ditch attempt to change 2016.

Take your vagina hats and some Kleenex’s!!

Stupid article. It's Congress's job to convince the public through public hearings on prime-time and through fact-findings (such as documents, evidence, and witnesses). A little over half of America is already firmly committed to impeaching this traitor as it is right now!

I live where they would fire me then shoot me.

Cancer cannot be reasoned with.

We are fine with it. Go impeach him.

Trump is a Danger to America but those Brain Washed Follower's see him as there LORD AND MASTER.

Good luck......especially after the IG report on FISA abuse drops!

The GOP has rigged the system to maintain their tenuous grasp on power.

Love Trump. Trump 2020.

No, I think the GOP should own Trump and go down wth him in 2020

This is such treason. completely disrespects half of this country.

The reason for forgoing impeach is that it is not a severe enough punishment. Would much rather see congress and justice department put a case together so that he is slapped in handcuffs on his last day in January 2021!

Opinions as news again

I’m in!

I keep trying but they are dug in. I ask them if they belief Mueller to be honest. They all say yes. I hand them the Mueller report on my iPad. And ask them to read the first two pages out loud. Normally takes a hour and I have to argue over every paragraph. Smh.

Our Democracy? WP you don't have a clue. Naa never mind.

Almost half of poll respondents and up five points in three weeks. Try again.

He’s the only one working in DC. The Dems are too busy sitting on their hands.

I do!!!

I’m in! ImpeachTrumpNow

Nope, never happen. MAGA2020 all day.

He should be tried for treason.

Not gonna happen. TRUMP 2020

Read my lips ImpeachmentHearingNOW

Haven’t you’ve been trying to do that since he won actually even before that ?!

The voters would rather impeach our bias MSM.

I agree. I am ready for an impeachment inquiry now but before we actually impeach we need a majority of the American people on board.

OH, you mean the dopy Dems failed in their attempted coup ? They weaponized the FBI, CIA, NSA, FISA court and tried to frame a U.S. citizen, the POTUS, and failed? AND the democrat voters don’t give a hoot if spying and weaponizing the intel community was used this way. Wow.

Congress needs to fulfill its CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY, whether they think the voters will like it or not. ImpeachDonaldTrump ImpeachmentHearings

The popular vote was won by millions in the favor of Hillary Clinton first female American president. Apparently the voters mean nothing to Trump because they didn't matter the popular vote didn't matter 🤔 It's time to make a constitutional change make the popular vote count

Not going to happen, never-Trumper JRubinBlogger

I'm a voter and I'm convinced Trump should be impeached!

The only danger this country has is from the democrats. The democrats changed law to guilty until proven innocent. The Kavanugh confirmation hearings sent a clear message that the democrats do not care about America or our laws.

Why don't we just abide by the Rule of Law? Remember the Constitution, where no one is above the law, it doesn't care if Trump supporters like it or not. Dem's need to do their Constitutional duty & impeach the President. Evidence will convince voters it was the right decision.

During the election, Pence would foreclose on US and take the money from the church PAC to start a new country.

Voters don’t have a vote on this one.

Opinion: Want to have a government that works and American people who know the truth? Get rid of corrupt liberal democrats and biased liberal media...like you.

No one has to convince voters...it’s all about Congress...guts or no guts...

It's hard to get the attention of busy people going about their lives when they don't watch continual news on TV or social media. That's why we need the hearings, so they get into the local news nightly where millions can see the headlines.

tRump has earned and deserves impeachment but LiLtRumpy aint worth the air. McConnellHatesAmerica so he won't do his job if & when LiLtRumpy is impeached. just PelosiClap for everything from 1600

MAGA Trump2020 WWG1WGA

The Watergate hearings convinced voters that Nixon had committed crimes. If they had waited for voters to ask for an investigation, there never would have been one.

Impeach him for What? Only Facts Please

Yes

With the economy at numbers not seen since Reagan and unemployment at a low % not seen in 49 years it would be tough to impeach Trump. You can help, leave your job+ go homeless also move to a homeless camp in a liberal city.

Trump !?¿^* Naughty boy!! I do not care.

Impeachment will divide even Dem voters, since there is no consensus yet.

'Do your duty and leave the rest to the gods.' - Corneille

Wait, what? The proper LITMUS TEST for impeachment is AN INDICIA OF MALFEASANCE requiring ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY by Congress to ascertain all MATERIAL FACTS. It has 'nothing to do' with voters.

Bullshit

America know that media is a fraud! that makes up alot of shit.

Convince Republican voters who then will convince their Republican Senators. Public pressure is the key.

I can't read the article to see what it says. but you are not going to convince the minority of the electorate that they made a mistake of his magnitude. forget that. But are they the target anyway? Should we be polling trump voters on this at all?

I’ve been convinced since he announced his candidacy ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW

Clickbait sucks!

Morally, ethically people would support to impeachment as he has taken for granted, he won't be

Polling indicates a 5 point rise since mid-April, to 45% (versus 42% who oppose.) I'd say another week of obstruction, a public Mueller hearing -- and we'll be looking at better than 50%.

In The Divine Comedy, Dante reserved a special place in the Seventh Circle of Hell for people who charged usurious interest rates. Today we don’t need the hellfire, but we do need a national usury law that caps interest rates on credit cards and consumer

What do the voters have to do with impeaching a lawlessness president? Voters are not jurors stop acting like it.

walkaway ...the left has become a hate group!

I'm convinced but does it matter

I don’t need convincing. I’m just waiting for Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham to decide who they’re supposed to work for. I guess right now they think it’s Trump. Why doesn’t Congress just all go home. Trump wants to be BOTH the Executive and Legislative branches. Let him try.

Undoubtedly “POTUS in Impeachment territory' by obstruction of justice, collusion, lying & misleading over Russia contact... indeed it's only a matter of time.

I’m convinced.

Ya know what I appreciate? A President willing to finally after decades, stand up to China and the world! Prior leaders handed our manufacturing superiority over to China! ....Sold out their fellow Americans for cheap labor and cheap Chinese goods.

ANNULDONTIMPEACH

You ridiculous bluffer Bezos, 90% want Trump off the news forever, only amateur ruling class like you think a confidence crook is good for business

THE PARTY IS OVER----DO SOMETHING FOR AMERICA.

PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE 🎙🇺🇸🌩

Mueller is still waiting for Congress to act...

The voters don’t want this. Move on.

Ain’t. Gonna. Happen. 😂

His first term is almost over, how about instead of crying like a loser. Win the next election, but I doubt that will happen.

For every self-proclaimed patriot that has insulted Americans for understanding truth, read the damn Mueller report. Until u do, you aren't qualified to defend Trump and the GOP. It is required reading for everyone to see the depth of corruption, lies and attacks on democracy.

the lib extremists are convinced. but the voters will re-elect Trump, because most really like what he's doing.

Hasn't the Fake News been running a 24/7 campaign demonizing Trump and his admin for the last 2 plus years? If you haven't convinced people now, you're not going to.

Voters are convinced. Next

Yes!
