Newly emboldened Democrats want healthcare protected - and Trump impeached: Reuters/Ipsos poll
Reuters ^ | November 8, 2018 | by Chris Kahn

WASHINGTON - Democrats have a clear message for party leaders who will take control of the U.S. House of Representatives next year, according to a Reuters/Ipsos national opinion poll: Protect their healthcare and impeach President Donald Trump.

The poll released on Thursday found that 43 percent of people who identified as Democrats want impeachment to be a top priority for Congress. That goal was second in priority only to healthcare.

“I want him out of office,” said Aprille Evans-Wright, 73, a mobile home park manager in Reno, Nevada, who responded to the poll. “He won’t show us his tax returns. He lies consistently. He is leading people astray and he’s holding children prisoner at the border.”

The online poll gathered responses from 904 Democrats and 840 Republicans from Oct. 30 to Nov. 5. That was before Tuesday’s election, though by that time most opinion polls and nonpartisan forecasters had predicted that Democrats would win control of the House.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted in English throughout the United States. It has a credibility interval, a measure of precision, of about 4 percentage points for Democrats.

Here is the thing I don’t understand. Everyone has been saying Republicans are good on jobs and Democrats are good on health insurance.

Don’t most people get better insurance with better jobs?

For the life of me I just don’t understand this and why Republicans haven’t pointed this out.

Yes, lots of otherwise decent people want to protect the statist trainwreck known as Obamacare. I, for one, hope that it collapses like a torn weather balloon.

They really know how to regurgitate the garbage propaganda they're fed by the media, don't they?

Perhaps most Dems get insurance from the government ... not a job.

The Democrats will try kavanaughing (yes I’m using this name as a verb as in borking) Trump and it won’t work. Remember Reagan was able to go over the media’s head even in the 80s and get things done.

When the Trump effect on the economy fades away by the end of the 2nd quarter of 2019 he will have them right where he wants them. They will resist and not work with him thinking they can peel away his supporters - that won’t happen either.

That shows clearly how the teaching of history has been dumbed down and made politically correct when so many citizens think impeachment is something you're just for or against, sort of like building wall. They think an election can just be undone because they don't like the result.

Exactly. They screwed health care, and don't care about health care. They only care about their control of health care.

Impeach for...WHAT?

The founding fathers worried that impeachment would lead to a popularity contest. So, they mandated that in order to remove a sitting President from office that it would take a super majority of Senators to do so.

Therefore, it’s unwise to waste the time of the govt in order to have public witch hunts! And when these witch hunts happen, it usually backfires on the hunter.

Whether we agree or not, the attempted removal of office of Bill Clinton backfired, and the result was a landslide victory for the Dems in 1998.

If you don’t got the Senate votes, DO NOT GO THERE. But hey, Dems, knock yourself out.

As I’ve been saying. No one with a whit of political sense would try to impeach Trump. But their base is going to demand that they do it anyway.

We are going to watch that party march off the cliff over the next two years.
