Reuters) - Having his morning coffee and cigarette outside a Starbucks in one of the most politically contested counties in the United States, Richard Sibilla recoils at the memory of President Donald Trump's election.
But impeach him now? Sibilla can see little upside.
"After this he has a much better chance of winning another election, as scary as that sounds," said Sibilla, 39, a resident of Pinellas County, Florida, who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. "It's not even worth following because it's all going to help him."
Among the public, interviews with more than 60 voters across four of the most important counties in the 2020 election showed Republicans largely confident the impeachment process will backfire and Trump will win re-election. Democrats, on the other hand, are worried they may be right.
Marc Devlin, a 48-year-old consultant from Northampton County, Pennsylvania, said he expects the inquiry to "incense" supporters of the president. "This is my fear, that it will actually add some flame to his fire with his base," he said. "I just fear 'party over country.'"

You can’t impeach the President of the United States because he makes you sad and cry all of the time. Check the Constitution. It’s not in there.
Yeah, but it’s a minority with money.
And that’s what matters to the Dems, all that matters.
Ah the ministry of “truthiness” speaks.
With all the people who were interviewed they couldn’t find one Hillary to Trump switcher. How convenient.
Why on earth any one with a functioning brain would vote for a Democrat is totally baffling to me.
Thanks for allowing me to rant a bit.
I get angry just knowing asshats like Adam Schiff exist - no less that his type would try to drag a duly elected President through this kind of crap.
Democrat congresscritters have called for the impeachment of every Republican President since Eisenhower. Hell, they may have called for the impeachment of Eisenhower too, but that was before my time.
Just like Socialism, the far left wing liberals are convinced that THIS TIME it will work!
IMPEACHMENT— Hyram F. Suddfluffel, PhD

LET THEM GO AHEAD AND IMPEACH TRUMP.... HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS THEN......
By: Hyram F. Suddfluffel, PhD, (Political Science)
I have a degree in Political Science, and I am a card-carrying Libertarian. I’ve been studying politics and political history for the past 30 years. My specialty is U.S. Presidents. That said, I hope that the House of
Representatives impeaches Trump. Let me tell you what will happen next!
1. The House can pass articles of impeachment over the objections of the
Republicans, and refer to the Senate for trial.
2. The Senate will conduct a trial. There will be a vote, and the Republicans will vote unanimously, along with a small number of Democrats, to not convict the President. Legally, it will all be over at that point.
3. However, during the trial, and this is what no one is thinking about right now, the President’s attorneys will have the right to subpoena and question ANYONE THEY WANT.. That is different than the special counsel
investigation, which was very one-sided. So, during the impeachment trial, we will be hearing testimony from James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr, Glenn Simpson, Donna Brazile, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch,
Christopher Steele, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper, and a whole host of other participants in this whole sordid affair and the ensuing cover up activities.
A lot of dirt will be dug up; a lot of truth will be unveiled. Finger pointing will occur. Deals will start being made, and suddenly, a lot of democrats will start being charged and going to prison.
All this, because, remember, the President’s team will now, for the first time, have the RIGHT to question all of these people under oath – and they will turn on each other. That is already starting.
4. Lastly, one more thing will happen, the Senate will not convict the President. Nothing will happen to Trump. Most Americans are clueless about political processes, the law, and the Constitution. Most Americans believe
that being impeached results in removal from office. They don’t understand that phase 2 is a trial in and by the Senate, where he has zero chance of conviction. Remember, the Senate is controlled by Republicans; they will
determine what testimony is allowed — and **everything** will be allowed, including: DNC collusion with the Clinton campaign to fix the election in favor of Hillary, the creation of the Trump dossier, the cover up and
destruction of emails that very likely included incriminating information.
They will incriminate each other for lying to the FISA court, for spying and wiretapping the Trump campaign, and for colluding with foreign political actors, especially George Soros. After the Senate declines to convict the
President, we will have an election, and Trump will win. It will be a backlash against democrat petulance, temper tantrums, hypocrisy and dishonesty. Even minorities will vote for Trump, because, for the first time, they will see that democrats have spent 2+ years focused on maintaining their own power, and not doing anything at all about black murders in Chicago, homelessness, opioids, and other important issues that are actually killing people. And, we will spend the following four years listening to politicians and pundits claim that the whole impeachment was rigged.
So let’s move on to impeachment.

There won’t be a trial. The Senate will discharge the articles without trial and there is no appeal.
WOW, Reuters, be careful, you might let your bias show.
These people have no shame.
And still we are winning!!!!!
I’m not impressed by the degree. I think that is a lot of wishful thinking.
Someone needs to explain to the Socialists on the left side of the aisle that beating Queen Hillary in an election is not “high crimes and misdemeanors” or any other impeachable offense.
But, they are welcome to try their hardest. I figure that the more time and energy they waste on trying to come up with articles of impeachment, the less time and energy they have to compound the legacy of Obama-lama-ding-dong the (hopefully) last.
And little Adam Schitt lies about it in the process.
Yes. The 'rats will close ranks, as always. And they will over-reach, as they have done since the Wellstone Funeral Rally.
The author also underestimates the rage that will be felt among Trump supporters. It is impossible to listen to the 'rats and not take it personally.
I predict 10 million Trump supporters will descend upon D.C.
(Checking Southwest flights to D.C. area.)
I don’t even call any of them “liberals” anymore. That’s really too nice a term.
“..the less time and energy they have to compound the legacy of Obama-lama-ding-dong...”
That’s one way to look at it. [nodding]
Haha that remark made my day!
