In his first tweet, Cuomo commented on an article from Raw Story about a suggestion from MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch on how to change the conversation around impeachment to focus more on “Trump criminal investigations.”

“We are going to initiate and continue the ongoing Trump criminal investigations — Trump criminal, Trump criminal investigations,” Deutsch said. “Take the word impeachment away — it’s a losing word, it’s a 30-year-old word that does not help us. Change the discussion. Even Trump says it’s a disgusting word. It’s a disgusting word for Democrats.”

In response, Cuomo wrote on Twitter: “Does this make a difference?”

Another user then replied to Cuomo’s tweet, writing: “What a bunch of Tools. Trump would love the dem goons to try and impeach. #BringItOn.”

Cuomo responded by saying “The trump base (mostly middle aged angry white males) are solidly behind him, but what about the burst of younger than boomers voters? Centrists? Independents?”

“Will the process super-motivate the left? Of course this could just come down to doing the job congress must do,” he added.

According to the Pew Research Center, Trump was won the presidential election in 2016 largely due to his popularity among white voters.

The organization also found the gender gap in vote preference to be “among the widest in exit polls dating back to 1972.”
