Watch What Happens When They See How Partisan This Is

A Trumper the Omnivore knows had a wait-and-see position when it came to the beginning of the Impeachment Storm that is now upon us. Specifically, she cautioned The Omnivore to wait until the middle of next week to see the polls.

She was, she said, giddy over the prospect of the Democrats Impeaching Trump as it would help him bigly: certainly this attempt to go after an already-acquitted president (Mueller) with a hearsay report from an unknown person could only help Trump in the eyes of the public.

Of course by the middle of the next week, things were looking bad. Today, support for impeachment is above where it was for Nixon at the same time.
No photo description available.This tracks with the 538 combination of polls and shows a fairly rapid rise in support that is impacting not only Democrats but Independents and even some Republicans.

'Wait Until They See How Partisan This Is'

We have now moved the in-zone back into the crowd in the stadium. The Trump-supporter warned The Omnivore that very soon this would turn around as people saw the raw partisanship that was motivating this impeachment--another Trump-supporter The Omnivore knows online crowed that the Democrat's sequestering of the Whistle Blower from the GOP (for very, uhm, well grounded fears that his identity would be leaked) was handing Trump 2020.

Is It? Will 'They' See How Partisan This Is?

The Omnivore is looking at Twitter and some headlines.

Or this tweet (about the Mueller Grand Jury Investigation)

Or this story:

And does not think this sort of thing is going to convince an onlooker that Team Trump "has nothing to hide."

The Media and the Message

Of course to The Trumper, all of this appears to be a coordinated media-smear to spin the headlines in as bad a way for Trump as they can. After all, they think, Trump is just defending himself from a kangaroo court! Why shouldn't he?

Of course The Senate is the actual court that will judge and The House conducts the investigation. If a House investigation that tried 7 times and couldn't find any significant wrong-doing on Hillary Clinton managed to "hurt her chances in 2016" (as the McCarthy famously said), The Omnivore doesn't see how a House investigation in this case is going to look especially partisan when the target does everything thing they can to stop from speaking their own words in public about the charges.

  2. Watch and see what happened she said. So she did and what happened? well for one thing viewership went down completely after the first day of hearings. CBS even retured to their regular broadcasting. So what does this mean? It means the 24/7 hair on fire Trump is now going down gang was wrong as always. There still maybe impeachment in the house but just like the inquiry the vote will be partisan for impeachment and bipartisan against impeachment. The American people are much smarter than omnivore gives them credit for. Just look at recent polling and see where Independents stand now. Watch and see is the best approach as always
