    Polls track public opinion
    Hillary won the popular vote

    Is it just willful ignorance or cognitive dissonance that makes people unable to comprehend this?

    Polls indicated the majority of people would vote for her and they did. Why are you still stuck on Hillary? We’re talking about Trump. Keep up.

    According to the article he handled the question just fine....it was Shifty that couldn't handle the answer and then proceeded to try and change this testimony.

    I also don't think the Amb felt the need to take the 5th, since he had no potential criminal liability exposure.

    Don’t need a nominee for the American people to have an opinion on impeach and remove. Why do you think we do?

    Is it just willful ignorance or cognitive dissonance that makes people unable to comprehend the popular vote is irrelevant under our system?

    The voice of the people is hardly irrelevant, it has numerous implications.
    It just doesn’t pick the president — and no one has said it did.

    Care to answer my question or running like normal?

    So we can assume if someone does, they’ve got criminal exposure?

    Why are you still stuck on polls as they have been proven to be wrong. Keep up!

    Why would she? You don’t send a case to trial without all the evidence.

    Polls didn’t account for voter distribution across the states. Let me know when the electoral college will have anything to do with the impeachment process.

    Apparently Shiff for brains was very unhappy at the end of the interrogation. Why would that be?

    And yet the trumpet is sounded ever time one shows Trump squeaking above 50% approval.

    Of course, or a reasonable belief they could be.

    Care to offer your take? Links to what you’re referring to would also be appreciated.

    Sure, and why not? You guys are squawking every time it goes the other way. We are not going to let you guys continuously hammer us with all these bogus polls. But in the end, we all know polls are just BS made to say what people want them to say.

    We consistently place value on polls that indicate clear trends. You guys shout to the heavens for favorable ones, and cry fake news at everything else. Why is that?

    I just told you, to balance the BS that comes out of the polls skewed in your favor. But they are all still BS, those favoring the left and the right. They are all made up nonsense.

    This relates to Schiff’s disposition after the interrogation in what way?

    Yup, from both sides. That is exactly what it is.
