my latest—Dems are def not n disarray; pressrun.media/p/sorry-politi…
“As for Republicans and the political consequences impeachment poses for them? Politico wasn't interested, The GOP, apparently, faces no impeachment fallout, only Democrats.”
bottom line:

when Dem President was impeached it was Bad News for Dems

when a GOP president gets impeached it’s Bad News for Dems

heads you lose, tails you lose
“Today’s impeachment polling results are especially telling because that means there are millions of Republicans who voted for Trump who now want him convicted and barred from office.”

ABC poll showed Americans support impeachment by 13 pts

but sure, “slender”
such bizarre framing: *only* a clear majority support impeachment

fact: 2/3 **opposed** impeaching Clinton

zero decisions to be made

it’s right thing to do and polls show massive Covid relief Bill is hugely popular

Q is how badly does voting NO damage GOP
it's stunning how there's been virtually no media coverage re: political risks GOP faces over Covid bill.

it's all abt Dems.
It’s so engrained in media’s mind that GOP is super savvy

my latest—surprise! DC press suddenly awakens from 4-year slumber! pressrun.media/p/white-house-…
“The briefing room kerfuffle seems more like Beltway journalists frantically trying to find a way to ding the Biden White House — a way to show they're not part of the "liberal media" — by inventing conflicts where none exists.”

FFS there are two parties involved here. why does press always insist it’s **only** up to Dems to be “bipartisan”??
Dems need *zero* GOP votes, but it’s depicted like they’re the ones in tight spot???
GOP faces disaster if all 50 vote NO on massively popular Covid relief bill. but sure, Dems need to make a deal....

this is just nonsense CNN, Biden didn't run on the platform of "compromise"; he did not campaign on the idea that he'd immediately walk back his campaign promises in order to please GOP

"when the GOP rammed through a United States Supreme Court pick with just 50 Senate votes. Where was the media teeth gnashing then?"

would be nice if Politico mentioned GOP had **ten months** to negotiate a big Covid bill and for ten months the GOP told Dems to f**k off
Hmm, pass $1.9T relief bill in effort to save US economy, open schools, prevent local govt from going bankrupt

OR

not pass bill bc GOP might be “angry”
the funny part is DC press actually thinks the second one is real option
