Summary

Democrats Are Walking Right Into Trump's TRAP, NYT Implies Trump WANTS The Impeachment Fight. More and More Democrats are calling for impeachment of Donald Trump following the Ukraine scandal. But the NYT Asks Does Trump WANT To Be Impeached?It's not that he wants to be impeached but that he wants the fight. It keeps Democrats off balance, stops them from campaigning on popular issues, and the scandal will cause a massive backfire against Joe Biden.Trump in all likelihood will not be impeached and would win the fight and in the event he does it would rally his base and give him an excuse for any policy problem.While we have seen the far left and the "resistance" continually demand impeachment, what is new are the moderate democrats now getting on board. This will put a huge divide between them and their voters as many moderate representatives come from areas Trump won in 2016.What happens when Democrats rally for impeachment but then Trump drops the Ukraine transcript and its a big ol nothing burger?It will be Russia 2.0 and leftists are already on thin ice having failed that play.

0:00.0	Donald Trump wants to be impeached. It sounds pretty absurd on the surface, but the New York Times
0:06.8	is actually asking if Donald Trump wants to be impeached. It may be a trap, and the Democrats
0:14.7	are walking right into it. The theory goes that basically, much like the Kavanaugh effect,
0:21.0	an impeachment fight would embolden Trump. It would empower him. The conservative base would
0:26.4	rally around this idea, saying, stop this is absurd, but more importantly, the most important thing
0:32.4	is that independent voters do not want impeachment. They don't, and according to one story from NPR,
0:38.7	they never really did. They just want to know that the economy will improve, their health care
0:43.2	will improve, their lives will be made better. They want to talk about immigration. If Trump can
0:47.9	get the Democrats focused on impeachment, then the Democrats won't be campaigning on core issues,
0:52.9	but more importantly, right now, with all of these Democrats coming out and talking about the
0:58.4	need for impeachment, or as BuzzFeed News puts it, Nancy Pelosi's impeachment dam is breaking.
1:04.0	We don't even know what Trump said on that phone called to Ukraine. So this is where everything
1:09.4	is stemming from all this. These calls for impeachment are ramping up because of the scandal involving
1:13.6	Ukraine, which I am very sick of, but here's the thing. What happens when all of these Democrats
1:19.8	start coming out demanding impeachment over Ukraine. And then once everyone's all riled up and once
1:24.8	they're just about to pull the trigger, Trump drops the transcript and we learn nothing burger,
1:30.4	Russia 2.0. But regardless, let's say there's a real scandal there, Trump may have done something wrong.
1:36.0	But after years of Russia, Russia, Russia, do you think middle Americans, you know, working class
1:42.0	people independent voters want to hear more of this? No, no, they don't, they're sick of it. It's the
1:48.3	party that cried Russia, the boy who cried wolf. Well, let's start with this story from the New
1:53.3	York Times that asks, does Donald Trump want to be impeached? Four reasons the president might welcome
1:59.8	articles of impeachment. And again, it clarifies not that he wants to be impeached,
