A billionaire Democratic donor has built a growing army of grass-roots activists to call for impeachment of US President Donald Trump in a digital petition, an issue that may be part of the Democratic mainstream in the 2018 elections. The Need To Impeach petition has so far been signed by some three million people and is tapped as a key asset in the upcoming 2018 Democratic campaigns for mid-term elections that could in part give Democrats majority in the US Congress, Politico reported Wednesday. “That’s how you build a grass-roots operation for a presidential campaign. And if you are that guy who started this, that’s certainly a leg up in organizing a 50-state strategy,” said Mike Madrid, a Republican consultant in California who is advising former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a Democrat, in his gubernatorial campaign. “That’s what he’s building, and it’s probably second only to Bernie Sanders’ list, and may be eclipsing it. Every election cycle has its own dynamics, and whoever is tapping into the sentiments of their own base usually has an advantage.” Trump threatens our Constitution, our freedoms, and our lives. It’s time to begin impeachment proceedings.

Experts say the petition could serve as a campaign goal for those running in next year’s midterms, which serve as the first nationwide referendum on Trump’s presidency. “Donald Trump has brought us to the brink of nuclear war, obstructed justice, and taken money from foreign governments. We need to impeach this dangerous president. Sign on now,” reads the petition on its website. Forty-one percent of Americans back Trump’s impeachment, according to a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, a higher percentage than the one supporting the billionaire in the 2020 election. Poster Comment: Dedalus Trust Sadly, the Democrats won’t do anything about it. They lack both the will power and the spine to do the right thing. As part of the prevalent status quo, their only concern is to please and obey their corporate masters, including AIPAC. [Ron] Dedalus Trust You are correct, so why the impeachment? It is all marketing and public relations to get back at the Republicans. I have no part in this petition signing - it just blowing smoke and seemingly looks good. [Tatarewicz] "why the impeachment?" It's just an advance warning: do what's best for Israel or media will hound you out of office as they did Nixon (who once rattled commie Jews) Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
