The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

[Deleted member 365]

Sounds like trump made an emergency hospital trip tonight. Wonder if the stress and pressure is getting to him? His closest buddies are either in prison or shortly will be, impeachment keeps coming in wave after wave, and his presidency is going up in flames. With his weight, diet, and twitter routine, I’m surprised he’s lasted this long without an incident.

The video below shows you yet another reason why “both sides” aren’t the same. MSNBC isn’t close to fox propaganda. Great Leader is... vigorous? Gag

Bill Barr is one weird dude With anti-Democratic authoritarian beliefs. Dude would feel more at home in Russia or Turkey. Last night he gave a speech to the Federalist Society. Weird ****. Complete and total projection if I’ve ever seen one

Lol



GOP lost again tonight. Democratic governor Edwards wins re-election in uber red state Louisiana. Trump can’t even win in those “liberal” bastions of Kentucky and Louisiana. Repubs, you sure you want 4 more years of this “winning?”

can we get Donald to campaign for mike Lee or Moscow Mitch? I really want them to lose.

This is significant.

Someone help me out here. Edwards was elected in 2015 with 56.1% to 43.9%. Trump wins Louisiana in 2016 by 20%. Incumbent goes for reelection and wins 51.3% to 48.7%.

Help my biased mind to know what I’m supposed to be seeing.

You are seeing a state election that has 99% to do with local state politics.

Louisiana is a red state, so let’s clear that up first.

Edwards won in 2015 after Bobby Jindal left it in ruins and disgraced ex-senator David Vitter won the republican primary. So Edwards winning in 2015 wasn’t a surprise, it was expected. For those of who who don’t remember David Vitter, google him (but don’t do it at work). So I wouldn’t focus too much on 2015 as 2019 is a better indicator of where things are truly at.

During Edward's governorship, he’s done things that are typically attacked by the right. Things such as raised taxes, increased public education spending, and balanced the budget.

Trump campaigned for the republican too, who’s a much more electable candidate than David Vitter. He visited the state 3 times in 5 weeks. He begged, “like a dog”, for Louisiana to give him a win.

So this time the election truly was a mandate on Democratic governing. Did the people want to continue with this same tax raisin, public education spendin liberal?

Apparently yes!

So here’s why people are talking about it:

1. A red state votes blue once again.
2. Once again traditionally red suburbs voted overwhelmingly blue. Clearly, the college educated and women voters have become alienated by the GOP’s Trumpism. This combined with African Americans is making a formidable coalition for democrats. Maybe repubs shouldn’t have spent the past 3 years alienating these constituencies?
3. Once again Trump puts his own political capital on the line for a Republican candidate for Governor and loses.
4. It shows that Trump isn’t the magician he thinks he is. It shows that local politicians should look out for themselves and not try to nationalize politics with the hopes that Trump’s pixie dust will work in them. If anything, smearing yourself in Trump’s sludge makes you less likely to win.

Edit: it also seems to suggest that if voting to impeach or convict is the right thing to do, do it without hesitation. Trump isn’t superman. Republicans, stop debasing yourselves for the titanic

That’s why.

this article explains things pretty well too:

This seems important. If Paul Ryan and the Murdock kids want to change course and build a new Republican Party, it’s got to begin at Fox News.

He won by 12.2% in 2015. He won by 2.6% now. The Jindal and Vitter issues explain all the variance? An 80% reduction in victory margin is a stain on Trump? This sounds like the kind of nuance Locke pumped all day circa 2013 to argue that Corbin was a good coach. It reads more like all of franklin’s pro-Corbin spin that was partial parody. It’s like when someone’s been assigned an argument in debate class, so they’re defending it just because that’s what you do.

serious question, do you know who david Vitter is? If not, did you google him?

He’s a guy who’s won elections since those issues.

Serious question, do you think going from 12.2% victory to 2.6% is explained by Vitter? If so, how much?

yes.

what's the alt narrative? Louisiana was bluer in 2015 than in 2019 and that Trump helped to close the gap for what should have been a double digit victory for the Democrat?

btw Rispone the Republican was up in the polls +5 pts prior to Trump’s last two visits.
