Summary
Democrats Launched Formal Impeachment Against Trump, This Is A Huge Mistake. Jerry Nadler has announced that formal impeachment proceedings against Trump has officially been started. The Washington Post adds that they may have actually begun in July with the Democrats requesting information on the Special Counsel's investigation.
The move by the Democrats to impeachment runs afoul of the polls and voter demand. Polls show that even among democrats only 39% favor starting impeachment proceedings and among independents 51% oppose impeachment proceedings.
Voters are not currently asking for this and it seems like a last ditch effort to keep Russiagate in the news. After years of an empty investigation into russian collusion against Donald Trump
Democrats don't seem to want to let 2016 go.
Instead of focusing on policy issues like the 2020 Democrats are, House democrats seemed intent on pushing forward with proceedings that will undoubtedly fail if they even reach the Senate.
To make things worse, 30 or so House Democrats are in districts won by Trump and risk losing their seats in 2020 if voters feel betrayed or if they feel the democrats are moving too far left.

| 0:00.0 | The Democrats have begun formal impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump. |
| 0:05.1 | And the Washington Post reports this may have actually started in July with some court |
| 0:09.4 | filings where the Democrats were seeking information about Trump and will get into all of that. |
| 0:14.3 | But let me just say, as I've been tracking the data and looking at other stories, |
| 0:18.3 | I feel like this is a huge mistake for the Democrats, just my opinion. |
| 0:21.8 | And this is based off of Trump's job approval, his favorability, as well as the fact in polls, |
| 0:28.5 | most people do not want impeachment. And not only that, most people don't care. |
| 0:34.7 | I don't quite understand why this is the attack factor Democrats are using to try and win 2020, |
| 0:39.8 | when it doesn't show them to be, it doesn't show any substance from the Democrats. |
| 0:43.9 | They're not doing anything for the American people. Just I guess they're satisfying the emotions |
| 0:48.1 | of those who really don't like the president. But in the end, they're not promising the American |
| 0:52.5 | people any hope or change or progress. They're simply saying, orange man is bad. And they don't even |
| 0:58.8 | have every House Democrat on board. They have the majority now, but they don't even have every Democrat |
| 1:05.2 | agreeing this is the right course of action. So why do it? I don't know. Today, let's take a look |
| 1:09.3 | at this, as well as other stories in how action from Democrats is actually benefiting Trump. And |
| 1:15.7 | look, it's been said time and time again. Trump is on track for a 2020 victory by many economic |
| 1:20.9 | forecast models, the incumbent advantage, the economy is strong. It doesn't mean he's guaranteed. |
| 1:25.6 | But I'll say this, if this is what the Democrats are presenting in terms of opposition, I do not see |
| 1:31.1 | them winning 2020. But maybe maybe orange man bad will be enough. I can't say for sure. I'm not |
| 1:37.2 | psychic. So let's read this story and then go through some of the data before we get started. |
