Trump does not want to be impeached. It's bad for his brand.

[Vidal]

Jeremy Peters of The New York Times said on MSBNBC’s Up with David Gura:

Having spoken to people who speak to the president, he does not want to be impeached. It’s bad for his brand. But he’s right about that. It’s also bad as far as he’s concerned because it would just be such a distraction and such a heavy undertaking. This is not like the Mueller report and the years they went through investigating him behind the scenes. This is all conducted in public. It would be such a spectacle, unlike anything that we saw with Watergate or even with Bill Clinton because the media environment right now is so different.

This president has such a singular ability to dominate coverage and to shift the narrative as he likes to. And really I think we as citizens have never seen anything like I think that would going back to what Betsy was saying, I’m picking up on a lot of the same things from the Democrats in the house. What they are worried about is losing more seats in 2020. That’s a big concern because this president is able to have his voters, his people, take on his fights as if they’re their own fights. And by portraying this as a witch hunt, as a redo of the 2016 election while the 2020 re-election is taking place, I think that worries a lot of Democrats because they see that as an advantage for the president because he’s saying they’re sore losers. And you know what, Americans really don’t like sore losers.

1. But he would get tremendous ratings! nt

3. Great point

He would love that part -- to headline the news every day.

[SamKnause]

2. His brand is already shit to any one with working brain cells.

4. K&R, and the more investigations the more crimes come to front

[Vidal]

7. That's a big deal -- could lead to impeachment

House leaders want more hearings to publicize Trump's crimes more. They plan to do that but not call them impeachment hearings, although that's where it could lead.

5. Sorry asshole, your brand is already sunk.

You can kiss that goodbye.

6. I get sick when I consider the damage Trump would be doing NOW

were he NOT distracted by fears of impeachment and Mueller.

9. you are right

things could be a lot worse, so it's important we try to keep him reined in and under investigation for the rest of his presidency.

8. The people saying he wants to be impeached are no different from the people saying he never wanted

win the presidency. Of course he did. And no, he does not want to be impeached. .

10. Re: "Re-do."

Jeez. What a novel idea, except that we know that EVERY election is a "re-do." Voters always consider and re-consider voting based partly on the last election. But the GOPers want to frame the Dems as "sore losers." So, once again, BFD. A new election means a new vote. And we're supposed to be surprised and offended that it's called a "re-do"?

11. GOP/Trump talking point

They love to whine and complain, but the truth is most Americans would LOVE a "redo" of 2016 and get that asshole out of the White House.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

12. More CONCERNED about $$$$$$$$ his bottom line.....

Figures as much.

For Trump, it is all about the Benjamins.....

[Vidal]

13. I'm hoping the FBI will take away his assets like they did with Manafort

that would be sweet. could happen someday.

[Codeine]

17. Especially when we find out

how overstated his actual assets are. Humiliation on top of humiliation.

[empedocles]

14. 'Democrats need to tread carefully with impeachment . . . '

Salient point from the article, underlined even.

[If Dems manage to somehow, despite all sorts of opportunities - many offered by trump himself, somehow 'manage' to lose the House and Senate too, the US will be in unimaginably horrible shape. That 'capability', demonstrated daily, is certainly there].

[Wellstone ruled]

15. Ponzi Don will have his day in the Dock

of the House of Representatives and be dully convicted. Mitch McConnell has already stated he will not except any Letters of Impeachment Trial in his chamber. But,the Con Man will be offered a Resignation with possible Immunity from future Prosecution on Federal Corruption Charges,including Tax issues for himself and his Crime Syndicate.

Never forget what Dianne Fienstien said in a interview after a Intel Briefing,when Ponzi Don accumulates a certain amount of money,he will leave. BTW,no this,CBRichard-Ellis is the General Leaser of ex federal buildings and the Senator's Hubby is the CB.

16. His deplorables can't afford Trump stuff. nt
