I forgot how much you conservatives hate facts.




The only facts here, are that some democrat running for office in FL, thinks he's gonna lose, so...

And if it is proven that Russia did access our systems you will be the first to say that they did nothing wrong.

And if it's proven they changed votes you'll say it was for the best so we shouldn't pursue it.

Because it's what you always do, just eat what you're spoon fed.

they wont come anywhere near getting the 67 senators required for removing trump from office even if the house impeaches him. so it would be clear to any halfway informed voter that the whole impeachment process would be just for show from the get-go.


The Benghazi investigations into Clinton were just a show, and it still did a lot of damage. The Democrats could take a page out of the GOP playbook. They know Trump won't be convicted, but impeaching him and smearing him could still do damage.

It's dirty politics. I don't condone it. I could see a Democratic House impeaching Trump 5 times in 2 years. The first one being legitimate as a result of Mueller's findings and the other 4 as a political weapon, much like we saw the House do with Rosenstein recently.

oh, absolutely, they could "finally" get "revenge" for Bill Clinton's impeachment.

I have no doubt that the house will impeach Trump if they win a somewhat solid majority. (ie: not if they just get to 220 seats, since there will always be a handful of red-state democratic house members from swingy districts where trump is still fairly popular.)

FiveThirtyEight's model gave Trump a 28.6% chance of winning. That's not insignificant.

Additionally, their model had Clinton's chances of winning tanking in the 10 or so days before the election, and Silver has said himself that polling probably couldn't have properly picked up on that rapid shift.

Their model also had Clinton winning the popular vote by 3.6%. She won by 2.1%, well within the margin of error.

RCP's polls had a 3.3 point popular vote margin for Clinton.
