Public opinion on impeachment is not with us, Nancy Pelosi kept saying. Other powerful Democrats warned that impeaching Trump might work against them … we could lose the House, the Senate, the White House … we could lose everything!
Funny what a difference a week makes!
Let’s count the ways:
Only six days since Nancy Pelosi announced the opening of a formal impeachment inquiry against Trump, nearly every House Democrat is on board with the move.
A majority of Americans say the impeachment inquiry is necessary
More Republican lawmakers are deciding not to seek re-election
Former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake has penned an op-ed for the Washington Post asking his fellow Republicans to save their souls by opposing Trump
Mitt Romney was quick to criticize Trump over the whistleblower scandal
Kurt Volker, U.S. special representative to Ukraine, abruptly resigned amid fallout from the whistleblower mess
A GOP congressman has labeled Trump’s warning of “civil war” over his impeachment as “beyond repugnant”
Republican Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Richard Burr, has said his committee will begin interviewing witnesses in the whistleblower compliant
Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, has promised not to pull a Merrick Garland by going forward with a trial if the House passes articles of impeachment
Fox News is no longer the reliable, monolithic propaganda fortress Trump could rely on
As more evidence of Trump’s wrongdoing comes to light and registers in people’s minds, look for more Americans to hop on the impeachment bandwagon. According to the latest CBS News poll, 55% of Americans now favor the newly-opened probe into Trump.
And as more Republicans fear Trump less, look for more of them, both in the House and Senate, to voice their support for the impeachment inquiry.
When more and more clear-eyed Americans begin to realize the emperor has no clothes, Trump is done. He may actually do the prudent thing … for once in his life … by emulating Tricky Dick and resign.

The tide against Orange Turd is changing. However, under no circumstances should he be let off the hook with a non-prosecution agreement. This turd belongs in jail for the rest of his life for all of the shit he has pulled.
Totally agree. My gut tells me he won’t dodge this bullet.
Look for a massive cover-up/ destruction of evidence about…………………………now.
Cover-ups are usually uncovered. Let’s hope!
Aren’t we going to be a little embarrassed when we find out the president played us?
Some people will never think that.
