Mod: Remember, the impeachment fun has only just begun. Once events have fully taken their course the public's desire to impeach this popular vote loser of a president will be clear.
Presidential historian predicts public support for Trump will collapse (
The Hilllink): Presidential historian
Douglas Brinkley on Friday predicted that public support for
President Trump will collapse as
House Democrats continue their impeachment inquiry against him.
“It just tells you what deep trouble
Donald Trump is in. I mean, when you have 50 percent of the country wanting you not just impeached but removed from office, and the game hasn’t even gotten fast yet,”
Brinkley said Friday morning on
CNN, where he serves as a contributor.
“I think once the vote is taken by
Congress to impeach him and he’s wearing the ‘I’ on his chest, you’re going to see that movement grow even more,”
Brinkley predicted.
He added of
Trump, “It tells you he doesn’t have a lot of friends. He’s a base politician. He doesn’t know how to turn this around.”
Brinkley noted the successful campaigns of politicians from opposing parties that came after previous presidents faced political fallout. "I think the
Democrats might want to look at the way
Jimmy Carter pulled off victory in 1976. He took the high road. He ran on saying, I will never tell a lie to you,"
Brinkley said. "He didn't have to say
Nixon's lies or
Lyndon Johnson's lies, just that I am clean, good governance coming your way if you vote for me."
A
CNN poll conducted after the first week of public hearings in the inquiry found that 50 percent of
Americans said
Trump should be impeached and removed from office, while 43 percent said he should not be — the same margin from a poll conducted in October.
‘Everything Trump Touches Dies’: Alabama Crimson Tide ridiculed for being ‘cursed’ by the president after another loss (
Raw Storylink): The
Alabama Crimson Tide lost to the
Iron Bowl Auburn Tigers on Saturday. The loss came three weeks after
Alabama fans cheered
President Donald Trump— and lost their first home game in four years to
Lousiana State University.
Trump was blamed for jinxing the
Crimson Tide after the loss to
LSU— and was once again ridiculed after
Alabama’s second loss. One popular joke was that “
Everything Trump Touches Dies” — often abbreviated as
#ETTD online — which came from the title of a best-selling book by conservative political strategist
Rick Wilson.
