    I see a recent poll indicates 50% of voters now favor impeachment. Up from 49% in October. All the sturming and dranging on both sides of the issue doesn’t seem to have had much impact.

    Is the whole thing being tuned out by most Americans?

    Half of Americans favoring impeachment is no small matter. Rob

    So we should ignore the facts that have come out?

    That’s not all that different from a year or three years ago.

    What is a small thing is the number of voters influenced by the House hearings. Positions for the great majority of voters seem not to have budged much, despite the relentless media drumbeat. When the Senate stages it’s production, it seems unlikely we will see much movement in the opposite direction.

    This seems to be a mantra of Conservatives, at least from what I am seeing in Urban Arizona. It's all about granting Donald Trump a free pass while ignoring his transgressions.....but yet hypocritically supporting "law and order"which locks up a higher percentage of American citizens than any other country on the Earth locks up their citizens. I honestly don't understand how Conservatives can look at themselves in the mirror and live with themselves and their hypocracy (sp?) but then I've been lower income for long enough in my life to understand that much of Conservatism doesn't work unless you are upper income.

    At least the rest of the world is seeing America as it really is via the Trump Presidency and more and more of the world will hopefully kick the American way to the curb. This last does give me some hope. Rob

    Likely, yes, IL, but look at it this way. Would you want to be President if half the country supported your being kicked to the curb? Rob

    I don't think I've ever defended Trump, personally I think he's an ass. What I will defend is fairness and I'll always attempt to counter the goofy stuff some of you come up with. And as an aside, being conservative is apparently an ideology beyond your reckoning. It has nothing to do with supporting a particular politician.

    Republicans have long ago abdicated the "law and order" position, IMO. Unless it involves making money off of for-profit prisons, or punishing other people's transgressions. They've flouted the rule of law from beginning to end where Trump's concerned.
