The Democrats Host Impeachment and No One Watches

[sparky]

[rightwinger]

13 million viewers tuned in to watch the first day of the Impeachment Hearing. That works out to a whopping 4% of the American public. That's right. 4%. More people watched James Comey's testimony and the Brett Kavanaugh hearing.

Almost nothing is trending about impeachment on Twitter at any time, aside from during the hearings.

This is a loser, Democrats. This was your Hail Mary to throw and it's losing.

Prepare accordingly. Here's a thought. Maybe come up with a winning platform. Or some candidates who can beat Trump. Groundbreaking, I know.

One more time, No party has had a president impeached and won the next election.

By the time is all said in done, even if the GOP saves Trump, he'll be remembered as "Impeached and Disgraced" Donald Trump.

Look, the smart thing for you guys to do would be to get rid of this guy and try to rehabilitate Pence's reputation. It almost worked for Jerry Ford.

Even if Trump is not removed from office, he will not come out as innocent

What is being revealed is a disjointed foreign policy being run by political cronies pushing Trumps personal agenda
Our State Department is in a shambles as dedicated career diplomats are pushed aside for getting in the way

because the people who hate him will simply never give him the benefit of doubt they give their own side. those who say he's guilty today they also did with russia, peeing on prostitutes, and every other smear they can come up with.

this charade will change no minds only reinforce existing feelings

People who hate him?

Then why won’t Trump allow the people who love him to testify?
Pompeo, Giuliani, Pence, Mulvaney......

No Party has ever tried to impeach a sitting President with the type of smear campaign that Adam Schiff is currently running, Joey! When all is said and done...the Democrats are going to be remembered as poor losers who knew they couldn't argue against Trump's accomplishments with the slate of abysmal candidates they had running and chose instead to perpetrate a series of pathetically bad "investigations" into crimes that they knew didn't exist!

Yep,
The dem candidates are a clown car that is a fact, And like I said the country is divided right down the middle with no minds being changed one way or another

The constant barrage of shifting accusations has made it clear to all this is just a witch hunt.

The accusations have never changed. It has always been about what the President and his goons did to bolster his own campaign. It was disgusting behavior and unlike "grabbing 'em by the pussy" it is highly illegal for a President to behave that way.
If he weren't doing something wrong, he would not have kept it a secret, working around the State Department and hiding his conversation with Zelensky in the "Super Safe" computer no one can access.
Trump is guilty as hell and if my Republican senator doesn't vote to impeach him, no matter what her excuse, I will never vote for her again. And I've always been a loyal supporter of hers but this is for real. The man needs to go. I'll chip in and help pay for the UHaul to take his gold plated bed back to Trump Tower.

Unlike the "Completely Vulnerable" computer that Hillary hid all of her secret State Department stuff on, Old Lady? Hate to point this out but protecting private conversations between a President and other world leaders is actually the way you SHOULD do things! Keeping them on an unprotected computer hidden in your home is not! Duh?

 

[Oldstyle]

Right. Political junkies. And mostly LIB and LEFTIST political junkies. And when even THEY are not talking about impeachment, guess what that means?

It's not going well for you.

Then why are you spending so much time whining about it.

Do Americans Support Impeaching Trump?

Most people were opposed to impeaching Nixon until about two weeks before he resigned.

Lol
The difference is the country split right down the middle and no minds are being changed look at the numbers compared to slick Willey and Nixon’s times. You fucking moron

open hearings just started, & the #s showed b4 they even started that more americans are agreeing to impeach. right now it is about 50/50, but there's much more to come.

Lol
You do realize no minds are gonna be changed across the nation, the country is split right down the middle and that’s the way it should be

From the archives: How the Watergate crisis eroded public support for Richard Nixon

With all due respect...what's happening now is NOTHING in any way like the Watergate Hearings! With Watergate there was an actual crime that took place and a coverup by a sitting President! There was no crime here and no coverup. Attempts to portray them as the same thing are LAUGHABLE!

There's a big coverup, and you don't want to see it, just as most Republicans didn't want to see the Nixon coverup until the tapes hit them in the face and they couldn't shut their eyes to it any longer.

Nope, he will get reelected and get a super majority in both houses and turn the supreme court conservative. We have you democrats to thank for it. So thank you!

If Americans are so against Trump there’s an election in less than a year from now.
But you know that’s BS, so you need to keep the witch hunt going.

It has nothing to do with voting for Trump

It has to do with holding Trump accountable for abuses of office.
That is why impeachment is in the Constitution. They could have just said ....wait until the next election

Is that why every accusation turns out to be a lie?

14 times Schiff claimed to have evidence that will convict Trump about Russia. You need to impeach Schiff apologize to Trump.

Because ratings are what reality TV folks care about right?

13 million....that heartens me. After I heard the testimony on Wednesday, I was really hoping that a lot of people heard that story. 13 million sounds like a lot to me. But for the people who were at work or who get bored with political hearings, there has been plenty of commentary about it. I didn't trust that--I wanted to hear it straight from the horses mouth and I was fortunate enough to be able to watch.
Our president really, really needs to be fired. I've written to my senators and told them what I expect in their vote. (lol)

That's 4% of our population, or put another way. 96% did NOT watch. If you had a serious disease and your dr told you that you had a 96% chance of surviving...those are overwhelming numbers. An OVERWHELMING number of people did NOT tune in. Again: Even fewer than for Comey or Kavanaugh.

And this was supposedly for impeachment of the President.

You're losing, Old Lady. The "commentators" are doing their best to keep it alive. They're still losing. They're trying to manufacture some kind of crime. It's not working, and it's making you look desperate and pathetic.

He needs to be fired. The only desperate and pathetic people I hear are the ones defending Trump's actions.

This is a representative republic. We fire him at the ballot box.

Unless we impeach him first.

You just don't like him and can't see past your own bias. Too bad, so sad

Most Americans disagree and can see what is going on

Nope.

 

[my2¢]

I watched much of the original (Watergate) but ever since Jaws 3 I've really come to hate sequels and thus have skipped this latest congressional presentation. No doubt the quality really suffers in these re-make attempts. From what I've seen on the news though, Jim Jordan is superbly playing congressman Sandman's Watergate hearings role in presenting a Frank Burns-ish characterization that is worthy of at least an Emmy nomination.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Yep people kind of frown on the political opposition breaking into the opposition headquarters
Not so much when you are putting the country first.

Except there's no evidence of that here. Trump wasn't doing anything for the country, he was just trying to get the Ukraine to smear Biden...

On what planet do you live on that Trump thought he needed help with smearing pedophile Biden?
Hell if you're wanting a hug maybe old Joe will do it well maybe not since you are not a little girl

He's doing fine. So is Stefanik. Couple of legal eagles on the Stormtroopers' side. I don't mind giving them credit where it's due. They've got a pretty hard row to hoe here. And their points haven't been outlandish like Nunes' are. Holy shit, that guy is an embarrassment to our race.

the encouraging thing is people who cannot tune in live, can turn to a multitude of media platforms. i don't think those 'ratings' reflect anything other than tv. i watched it live mostly on youtube on my internet radio. smartphones are another means that isn't reflected in tv ratings. then there are the endless loops of watching the whole thing or highlights from the actual people testifying available that weren't invented during nixon or even clinton's impeachments.

Sure they can tune in and get the filtered feed of what was said. So I see that's your problem lol

filtered feed? really? so if you watched it live on yer smartphone ---- or direct Q& As from video ---- are YOU that stoooopid to not be able to know what you are hearing & seeing?

i suppose if you are a trump supporter, that might happen. specially if you obey donny when he said 'don't pay attention to what you see & hear; stick with us'

or when rotten rudy said that 'truth isn't truth'.

luckily the majority of americans that do tune in to this stuff aren't fox viewing orange koolaid sucking automatons.

DING BAT if you watched it live on your phone your viewing is tracked which is the topic of the thread.
