McCaskill: Trump Will Be Known as a President That Was Impeached for the Rest of His Career
Breitbart ^ | 01/15/2020 | Pam Key

Posted on 01/16/2020 6:17:19 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) asserted Wednesday during MSNBC’s live coverage of the House vote to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate that President Donald Trump “hates” that he will be known as a president that was impeached “for the rest of his career.”

McCaskill said, “Well, the trial already began because the president spent at least a half-hour shamelessly sucking up to the jurors that were in the White House for the China ceremony. I don’t recall a president going through senators name by name by name heaping praise. I mean, this is really a record for him. He usually can’t go that long without talking about himself. So the fact that he could talk about these senators in such glowing terms for so long, he knows that’s his firewall. That the Republican senators have to stop this. They have to — like, staunch the bleeding. And frankly, I think there’s going to be some really uncomfortable Republican senators because with the document dump we got lost night smart Republican senators know it’s going to look terrible if they say we don’t want to see any more documents.”

Funny, so far I know him as the President who is steadfast in doing a tremendous job despite enemies of the United states trying everything they possibly can to destroy him and the country.

Sorry, Cookie......impeachment is something Dems will be remembered for.....
a half-baked attempt to consolidate their power over Americans using suspect means.

Trump will be remembered as the most popular president elected and reelected by wide margins
who showered Americans w/ generous doses of winning while riding astride a booming economy.

“career??”

That’s the problem, people (not Trump) make politics a career when it should have been a temp job.

We should never elect anyone who cannot run a business from top to bottom.

This woman is dumb as a box of rocks. She can only repeat what somebody tells her to say. She does not have the capability to think for herself.

“I never before realized how cruel she is.”

For people who understand Democrats, her hatred is EXACTLY representative of their party.

This House, controlled by the Democrats, will be remembered for the fact that they diminished the meaning of impeachment with a pure partisan attack on a president whom they didn’t like and had a vendetta. From here on out, impeachment will be a joke.

Clair, that’s “Mr. President” to you, and it always will be. Forever.

Anyone ever ask these morons
“ How’d that work for Bill Clinton.?”

Andrew Johnson was known as “impeached” for the rest of his career.

Of course, historians are trying to ignore it and bury it, because it proved that impeachment can be a political farce—and that was in the 1800s.

“It didn’t seem to hurt Bill Clinton any...”

Drunken Nancy said the same thing this week while slobbering through a press conference.

One has to conclude that this is what it’s really all about—branding PDJT with the “impeachment” label, and getting even for Clinton’s impeachment.

Impeachment used to mean something, but the Pelosi era brought it to an unhistorical level of partisanship.

Yes, Trump will always be impeached, but now, impeachment will always be know as a ultra-partisan tool to be used by political foes.

The rest of his career? He’ll (most likely) be a two-term President then go back to his business where no one will care about this impeachment, and he will be richer and more influential than ever.

I don’t care if President Trump is known for being “impeached” so long as he is known for saving America and making our country great again. The alternative was probably a horrific civil war. Trump has proven that he can handle a bunch of mosquitoes nipping at him, so this petty political shot at him is rather harmless.

The president who exposed the democrat party swamp.
It remains to be seen if it is an epithet or a turning point for our republic.

So will Clinton, but that doesn’t seem to have harmed him.

The Democrats have cheapened impeachment. No longer has any serious meaning other than political theater. The Democrats want to destroy the US and unfortunately many Americans join them.
