    Giant hypocrisy. The guy you admire most has made fun of cripples, has aggressively attacked women, joked about their looks and appearance , admitted that he walked into women's locker rooms unannounced, claimed he could kill someone on 5th avenue and that you would still vote for him, calls opposing candidates, crazy sleepy creepy. and yells out the f-word during speeches occasionally. So your protest is B.S and pure deflection.

    Your inability to respond to my post shows you don't have the guts to defend your post. The Senate Republicans are in lock step with each other out of fear.


    'Re
    publican members of Congress have done so or have been defeated at the ballot box since Trump took office. ​
    Interviews with current and former Republican lawmakers as well as party strategists, many of whom requested anonymity so as not to publicly cross the president, suggest that many elected officials are effectively faced with two choices. They can vote with their feet by retiring — and a remarkable 40% o Republican members of Congress have done so or have been defeated at the ballot box since Trump took office."

    I see you didn't provide the record, or anything other than liberal media making claims without any context to what the records are or were, just them saying so. Typical...

    I see you couldn't be bothered to risk your confirmation bias by actually reading the facts provided.

    The so-called facts provided did not list any years of comparison, in terms of numbers of retirements/opening, and its focus was only on one side, which makes it silly lefty hack 'news' not actual information...

    Keep your head in the sand if you must.

    Meanwhile, GOP House Republicans are still retiring from political office at a record pace.

    You folks say 'record' this, and 'historic' that, yet never actually get around to showing valid comparisons. Like your Blue Ripple, you claimed it was 'historic' but it was nothing like 2010, which was actually historic. Its all about how dishonest the liberal media is, and apparently those who disseminate their lies...

    In very real and objective ways, the 2018 #BlueWave was bigger than the midterm landslide of 2010.

    But here, you have the objective fact that 20 House GOP have already announced in 2019 alone that they will leave political office altogether. That is 50% faster than the rate seen in 2017-2018, a year that was record breaking for the GOP in terms of retirements.

    No it wasn't. The Blue Ripple was nothing in comparison to the Republican repudiation of liberal idiocy of 2010. Real records are based on the facts, in this case that would be actual numbers. When you have to invent new metrics, you aren't changing history, you are lying to yourself and others to make a non-historic event seem important. That seems to be the new liberal standard, because real facts don't support their silliness...

    And, just to bring us back to the OP:

    Trump was impeached with more Yes votes than any President in history. Also the first to be impeached in his first term. And he got to 50% support for impeachment faster than any President in US history.

    You do know you can register on the very same day as election night right? And since your spreadsheet is of registered voters and what party they are of then it is no indication of either actual voters or actual citizens. In case you didn't know those in the US illegally support democrat policies because the Democratic Party panders to them. If they get registered, as I have proven that they do, then you are adding in more people than actually matter into your spreadsheet... and those people happen to favor the Democratic Party.

    You may not like the fact that there are flaws in what you have no doubt painstakingly created. But for determining how much of the electorate is XYZ group it is plainly obvious that it does have flaws. Whether you accept that or not. And those I listed aren't even all the flaws I could see. And I am not into that stuff. I'd imagine someone that is more into it could find more. At least if you're going to make the claim that you did to me about Independents. If you just claim "here is what it is for registered voters" then you're probably safe. But when you apply it like you did...there are flaws.

    Spreadsheets do not tell the whole story. No matter what the spread sheet is about.

    50% faster than the previous year isn't really historic, you'd have to look at a series of years and look at the highs and lows, with both parties to see the highest and lowest, not just invent crap because reality doesn't back up your fantasies.

    History will show this partisan hackery dolled up as an impeachment is the biggest joke in history, regardless of how many idiots cast a vote for it. Thanks for opening that door by the way. Just don't cry when it comes back on you folks...

    Oh I wasn't saying his spreadsheet was wrong. It just has flaws for what he was trying to apply it to. It's a great spreadsheet that shows registered voters and their party affiliation. But that is all that it does. Like any other spreadsheet, it doesn't tell the whole story.

    Remember when Trump got “impeached,” and then Pelosi was too afraid to submit the articles of Impeachment to the Senate and then we all moved on.

    Pause for a moment.

    Impeachment was or should he a historically significant act.

    Now impeachment feels like nothing.

    Yep, she declared that it was some sort of national emergency that Trump immediately be impeached, and now she's just sitting on the official document . . . terrified to send it on to the Senate so that impeachment can become official instead of just a political stunt.

    50% faster than a previous record year is historic. But here is some more data for you. Note: This article was written about the historic pace of retirements seen by the GOP in the 2018 midterms, so keep that in mind as you reflect on a 50% faster pace for the pure retirements.

    The Articles will be delivered and the Impeachment trial is going to happen as soon as McConnell can get together a rules package which can earn 51 votes in the Senate.
    Trump has already been impeached.

    Articles were delivered the same day for Clinton. Pelosi is playing games with this 'dire national emergency'. What a joke.

    Is there something wrong with stating the truth?

    As partisan as the vote was it will mean nothing in the history books other than to demonstrate the Democrats will stop at nothing to destroy anyone who opposes their liberal anti-American agenda.

    Most "yes" votes in history and the first guy to get impeached in his first term.

    Those will definitely be one of the first things mentioned by history books about trump.

    A +8.58% margin win and +40 seat gain nationally is hardly a ripple. It is a wave. The Ds won in the House by 9.75 million votes in 2018 and their margin in the Senate was actually larger. Only, small red states where relatively few peole live gave the GOP a continued majority in the Senate. 2010 was actually, in terms of national percentage, a smaller wave, but indeed, the GOP flipped more seats (+63). BTW, accusing people of disseminating lies is against PF rules.

    None the less since it was straight line Democrat vote, with zero Republican support, if it does make it into the history books it will be a black mark against the Democrats, clearly painting them as a party with a culture of corruption who will bend and twist any law well beyond it's intent, as needed to take out anyone who tries to block their destruction of the United States.

    Due to the impeachment they already look like a bunch of thugs to the American people, and may very well have kissed off holding the House in 2020.

    That very well may be true, and in the same paragraph it will be noted the impeachment was a total sham perpetrated by thugs with no evidence, just an axe to grind.
