Dems increasingly whisper about the ‘impeachment’ of Trump if they regain the House

(National Sentinel)Â Big Plans: Democrats are increasingly confident of two things — one, that the party will regain control of the House after the November midterms; and two, they will immediately begin impeachment proceedings against POTUS Donald Trump.

Never mind that recent polling suggests that would be political suicide.

AsÂ Fox News reported, however, Dem leaders are increasingly whispering about it behind the scenes thanks to the direction the party is being pushed by its far-Left base:

The wait-and-see approach to drafting articles of impeachment comes as voter pressure from the base rises. A late-AugustÂ Washington Post-ABC pollÂ found nearly 50 percent of Americans support immediate impeachment proceedings against the president. Four in 10 residents of Ohio, which Trump carried in the 2016 presidential election, said this week that the House should consider impeaching Trump,Â according to a Suffolk University poll.

But Democrats are mindful of alienating moderate and conservative votersÂ in several key states they will need to win overÂ in order to take the House and Senate,Â analysts say. (AÂ PBS poll in AprilÂ found that 47 percent of voters wouldn’t back a congressional candidate who wanted Trump impeached, and Fox News polling indicates the GOP is pulling away in pivotal Senate contests even as Democrats make apparent gains in the House.)

Rep. Beto O’Rourke, whose bid to unseat Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz is fading fast, is emblematic of the approach Democrats are taking on impeachment.

â€œImpeachment, much like an indictment, shows that there is enough there for the case to proceed, and at this point, there is certainly enough there for the case to proceed,” he has said.

House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., has said essentially the same thing. After callingÂ the president’s summer news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin “treasonous,” he said nevertheless that impeachment proceedings would be a “distraction.” There would “be time for that” later, he noted, according toÂ Fox News.
