“The Clinton impeachment was so unpopular in part because the public was ... pleased with Clinton[] ... In mid-January 1998, Gallup showed him with 60% approval and 30% disapproval. Trump is at 43% approval and 54% disapproval.”
“The Democrats ... will not be running against Trump as a run-of-the-mill failed politician - the way they defeated George H.W. Bush. The vast majority of Democrats believe Trump is corrupt and unfit for office, ...”

“... , and they will almost certainly be waging a campaign that says so. And there is only one action they have in their power to register that view: impeaching Trump.”

“If they went to the election without doing it, they would have undercut the rationale of their own 2020 campaign.”

That is actually the same question as: “Impeach?”
If Trump was pursuing his own interests and not the country’s, then that’s what the Framers would have considered to be a “high Crime [or] Misdemeanor[].”
Here’s an excellent article on the point:

“The ... phrase ... ‘high Crimes and Misdemeanors’ ... was a historical term of art, derived from impeachments in the British Parliament. ... [T]he framers ... knew what it meant. It meant, as Alexander Hamilton later phrased it, ‘the abuse or violation of some public trust.’”
“[T]he framers viewed the president as a fiduciary, the government of the United States as a sacred trust and the people of the United States as the beneficiaries of that trust.”

”They believed that a president would break his oath if he engaged in self-dealing — if he used his powers to put his own interests above the nation’s. That would be the paradigmatic case for impeachment.”

“If Trump tried to use military aid to Ukraine as leverage, ... then he held Ukrainian and American security hostage to his political vendettas. It means nothing to say that no such deal was reached; the important point is that Trump abused his position in the Oval Office.”
“[W]e need not rely on a newspaper account, nor even on the complaint ... of a whistle-blower. Instead, we have a sweaty, panicked admission on national television by Trump’s bizarre homunculus, Rudy Giuliani ....”
theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
“The problem for Giuliani, the Republicans, and the president himself ... is that Biden and his actions are now irrelevant to the offenses committed by Trump. The accusations against Biden are false, as we know from multiple fact checks ....”

A short thread on #impeachment.

I have pre-existing conditions—I fear my life & that of my friends being taken away.
I have close friends with DACA—I fear their right to be here being taken away.
I'm a Latino parent—I fear my child will be discriminated against worse than I was
I'm the survivor of an in-person death threat against me & my family, from a MAGA extremist who hated me just for who I am—I fear him or another carrying out those threats.

I'm an attorney—I fear the erosion of the rule of law.
I'm a patriot—I fear Russian interference in the 2020 election.

I'm a voting rights advocate—I fear a system is currently being created that will lead to permanent minority rule, & that that minority will use political power to permanently restricts the rights of the majority.

In this article, @Sulliview argues that "talk of impeachment, all-but-taboo in Big Media’s coverage of Trump, [has] moved from the margins into the mainstream." She attributes that development mainly to a prominent essay in @TheAtlantic. That's not right. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…
There's no denying that #impeachment talk has accelerated over the past few months. But I'm not convinced that this past week was really such a Rubicon when considered in broader perspective, or that a handful of well-argued essays in liberal magazines are the drivers of change.
For starters, there's been no shortage of impeachment talk in mainstream publications since Trump took office. I've gathered quite a few such articles in this @ShallTakeCare database, which includes analyses tracing back to before Trump even took office. takecareblog.com/blog/impeachin…

Si j'étais le président #Trump-je ne le suis pas-je commencerais la journée par 1 rafale de tweets expliquant à sa base pourquoi je vais laisser publier le mémo #Nunes et en quoi il montre les biais de l'enquête du FBI et du procureur #Mueller.Cependant, si imprévisible..à suivre
2) Et voilà,#Trump a donc bien commencé son opération de promotion du mémo #Nunes. Son tweet dévoile,s'il en était besoin,son intention première: pouvoir"liquider"#Rosenstein no.2 du ministère de la Justice, seul en capacité légale de virer #Mueller...RT
3) Cette info de @politico ce matin explique pourquoi #Trump "tire le 1er" contre l'enquête du procureur #Mueller. 2 avocats de personnes incriminées dans l'enquête pensent que le procureur inculpera le président (qui n'a aucune immunité constitutionnelle).politico.com/story/2018/02/…

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
