DandyLion posted:But what if abandoning him is projected to have just as many deleterious downstream affects as continued support? Kind of feels like they're stuck between a rock and a hard place, and I'd imagine inaction is easier and more likely than concerted combined efforts to distance themselves. yeah, no disagreement here. It's a calculation with lots of variables. My only point is that this is a dynamic situation and could change in a hurry

I got money on it that those House R’s are not going to be re-elected. They’re trying to obstruct so that they can delay the inevitable.

oxsnard posted:still think the single biggest factor behind Trump's win was the pollster modeling circle jerk assuring us that he didn't stand a chance I think it was a perfect storm of mistakes and that was certainly a contributing factor. Hillary wasn’t an inspiring candidate for a lot of people. She coasted to the nomination on her name and her supreme qualifications, but didn’t inspire voters the same way a charismatic leader like Bush, Obama, or even Trump in his own weird, twisted way. So those voters were much more susceptible to feeling complacent and reassured by the bad polls. I don’t think it would have been as big of a factor in other years, or even this coming year.

Alright I'll make a dumb bet, the cellphones are a distraction, they're sneaking a bug in to they can know what's going on and get ahead of it. Also aren't there already some GOP members in the SCIF or am I misremembering?

Wylie posted:All these assholes know that the next phase of all this is public hearings, right? We're not going "Welp, done with the closed-session evidence gathering, time to vote for impeachment, everybody!" What is this "secure our borders" bullshit in all honesty anyway? Like what is that supposed mean even to them and their voter class? At what point are the borders deemed "secure" enough? It seems like a goalpost to move if you ask me. They really are just going full bore into this "It's a WITCH HUNT!" defense even as the probe finds compelling evidence that Trump broke the law and the oath's of his office on a bi-daily basis but sure okay....

Charlz Guybon posted:Nixon's high was 58% wasn't it? Getting close to that. I think Nixon had a lot less hardcore team sports politic voters though. I mean Republicans swung to the opposite side during his investigation. Even if ours want to there's a huge swath of their voters that are rabidly insane and will try to end their political career through voting to straight up shooting them while they dine out

This is about creating a false narrative for their base as a reason why when they fully give up the facade and start doing openly illegal things and going full open fash “to save the country from rogue democrats”. This is all about holding on to power no matter what and with Fox News being their propaganda machine to blast this as loud as they can this is actually pretty scary l

haveblue posted:He'd have to murder all of them, the conviction vote is based on members present. Interesting. So there's a possibility that a large number of Republican Senators could just not show up to the trial as a protest. That would allow for a conviction, but then they'd have the "Partisan Decision" card to play for maximum CYA irt their voter base.

Stickman posted:Well, public prisons don’t spend millions of dollars lobbying against prison and judicial reform (though their increasingly-prevalent private subcontractors do and that’s another problem). Yes they do that’s what I said in an earlier post. Instead of the owners of private prisons it’s public prison guard unions lobbying for terrible policy. They are going to be interests involved in building prisons as long as we have the system set up this way.
