PP you replied to.
I disagree. You make it sound as if both sides are using the same tactics and have the same polling. They don't.

Trump is the President, and he is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors as defined in the Constitution. That is not debatable. What is debatable is whether the people will want to remove him from office, and/or re-elect him. 
[b]Republicans who do not have Fox News as their only source of news are actually only 55% against impeachment, instead of the higher number among Republicans who watch Fox News exclusively.[/b] A lot watch Fox News exclusively! The Democrats have no such relationships of loyalty with left-leaning media, and none of the major news media allows as many lies/truth omissions and biased reporting as Fox News. By far.

The truth is that a large portion of Trump's base is not being told the truth by their preferred media, but they are persuaded that it is the only reliable source of facts, and therefore won't change opinion in the near future, unless Fox decides to cut off Trump. I don't see that happening, but if it did, it would be a complete game changer.

Only 11% - yes, 11% - of all Republicans support impeachment. I don't know how that would equate to 55% of Republicans who don't watch Fox News supporting impeachment. The reality is that the vast majority of Republicans are opposed to impeachment.

There is no way that 20 Republican senators would ever flip to support the removal of Trump from office. The move to impeach Trump has nothing to do with removing him from office - that will not happen. The Democrats are hoping to bloody Trump in his reelection campaign because they know perfectly well that unless the economy moves decidedly into a downturn, the odds are that Trump will win reelection.

I did vote for Trump but the only chance that the Democrats have would be to nominate someone who has broad appeal to much of middle America - the loons like Warren and Sanders will ensure Trump's reelection.

I think yo are wrong about the motive.  Democrats know they will lose if they do not uphold their own oath of office to uphold the Constitution and hold the President accountable for high crimes and misdemeanors. The voters care about these things.[/quote]
Apparently only the Democratic voters.[/quote]
