True snapshot today. A few months ago impeachment was underwater in most if not all states. Watch the trajectory, not the snapshots. What's true today will not be true tomorrow.

Keep in mind Trump LOST the popular vote to Hillary Clinton. He is only president because he won the electoral college. In the 2018 mid-term elections, the Democrats surged and took control of the House. Those are the hard, election day numbers. Observers can make any point they want by citing a...

Diane and I came off the road in 2013 after 10 years of D and C-unit team expediting. Those were good years. It was a great run that we do not regret. As far as missing the road goes, we miss the good parts. That photo of the snow-covered C-unit reminds me why we moved to Florida. Thankfully...

Those Articles of Impeachment were the greatest ....

Fair points are raised about my use of the term "general public." None of us know the demographics of those in the stadium where Trump was booed and targeted with chants of "lock him up." Many thousands of people reside in and around the nation's capitol who's legal, registered-to-vote...

Some members of this forum occasionally point to Trump's filled-to-overflowing rallies as evidence of his popularity and support. Trump himself likes to talk about his crowd size compared to that of other candidates. There is some truth to that. Trump can clearly draw more supporters into a...

Depending on the source you view, the average life expectancy for a trucker is 10 to 20 years below the national average. It does not have to be that way for you. See this video to learn more: https://www.growingbolder.com/truck-drivers-can-anyone-can-3049183/ This video was produced by...

Yes and no. If you focus on the cases alone, yes, you are correct. The Supreme Court has the final say. But the lower court rulings have impacts beyond the cases themselves. We've already seen a judge in one of these cases reference another of these cases. The judges are paying attention to the...

With all eyes on the impeachment inquiry in the House, it's easy to let the courts fade from view. How is Trump doing in the courts? Here's a review of three cases: 1. Blumenthal v. Trump, an emoluments case. Judge denied Trump's motion to dismiss and ruled the plaintiffs have standing to...

Trump's view of himself and himself as president is noteworthy. Jul 22, 2016: "Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it." Jan 16, 2018: "I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius ... and a very stable genius at that!" Aug 21, 2019: "I am the chosen one."...

Depending on the person making the comment, it has been said that 25-35 Republican senators would vote to remove Trump from office if the impeachment vote to convict was held by secret ballot. If you assume all Democrats the two independents in the Senate vote to convict, 20 Republican votes...

The trajectory is the thing to watch. Public sentiment in favor of impeach and remove has been growing steadily since Peolosi's 9/24/19 impeachment inquiry announcement.

You are correct. You don't have much use for pollsters or polls, and quite a few of the folks who voted for President Trump are just as dubious. The people who have great use for pollsters and polls include the senators who will be voting in the impeachment trial and the political operatives...

As the expected articles of impeachment are approved by the U.S. House and taken up by the U.S. Senate, public opinion will be an important consideration of the Senators who vote in the trial. Here's a handy tool for monitoring the polls in aggregate.

That's right. You wouldn't.

If you study the history of economic expansions and recessions, you will learn these occur in cycles. Expansions are followed by recessions, which are followed by expansions, and so on. The forces that drive the economy are more powerful than than any president has ever been. At present, we are...

If that was the case, that politically opinionated gym owner would likely be pleased to see you go. We don't operate that way in our gym. You'd be welcome to join our gym like anyone else and if you felt the need to boycott our gym because of my stated political beliefs, I'd support you in doing...

Your question makes me smile. We have 20 TVs in the gym; 13 small TVs on the cardio machines and 7 big-screen TVs on various walls. The members have full control of the channel selection. Ear buds are used to hear the small TVs. The large TVs have the sound turned off. A single remote is used to...

If Trump is not impeached and convicted beforehand, he will stand for re-election in 2020. Part of the reason Republican senators back Trump (if not the main reason) is their fear of the Trump base in their Republican primary elections. If they do not support Trump, a more-ardent, pro-Trump...

And with the present makeup of the Senate, that's the only way it will happen. The Republican majority in the Senate will not change their public stance in favor of Trump unless the people back home change their stance too. That would likely be different if the vote to convict was done by...
