Biden is polling with Independents in the 60-65% Range
The last Impeachment Poll had only 49% of Ind supported Conviction..So Yes the House Impeachment Mangers had some more work to do.
The Jurors were Never the 100 U.S Senators.They were always the 331 million Americans
2/
Bc they’re the only ones who can move the needle..If you go back through 4yrs of Trump’s Polling.
At his lowest point there’s number that stands out inside the Polls
The Unshakable 20-25% number.
Let Me Put this way Your PO for Conviction Polls barometer Should’ve been 1-75%
2/
56% doesn’t cut it...Here’s the kicker Public Opinion for Conviction was rising.. Compared to 2019 where it was descending
IMO Bolton testimony would’ve had it reverse course..that’s why the R’s are scared of witnesses.. The GOP Party can not survive without Ind voters Period
3/
If Ind would’ve moved into the 55-60% Range.. With a Overall of 65%.. Trust me Mitch would’ve found 10 more R’s to Convict Trump.. Or enough R’s to make the Vote close enough 64-36.. Not enough to Convict but enough to lessen the stain on the party..
4/
Look what 56/49% did .. It Drove Mitch to become Impeachment manger.. Bc Mitch is about the data
Data drove Mitch to drop his Corporation liability protection in the Covid relief bill in December..
And the Data would’ve drove Mitch to find enough R’s
5/
Who are not up for re-election to vote to Convict Trump.. Like I said 64/36 Wouldn’t had Convicted Trump ..But it would’ve lessen the stain on the Republican Party..

Remember Political Fractions started during the Ratification of the Constitution ..The Founders didn’t
6/
envision Impeachment to become Political Process..
Where the Actual Jurors are not 100 U.S Senators.. But they are the Voters.. They’re US..
If the Founders would’ve envisioned this .. They might have moved The trial portion into the Judicial branch.. Who knows
7/
But the fact is .. Impeachment is Political Process.. and data should drive your decision on how you should prosecute the case..
That’s the Mistake the Dems made
Go back to The Nixon Tapes.. The R’s knew that Nixon was guilty before the tapes were released to the public
8/
07/24/1974 SCOTUS Orders the Release of Tapes
46% Supported Impeachment/Removal
08/08/1974 Nixon Resigned
57% Supported Impeachment/Removal..
The Public Drove Goldwater and Company to Convince Nixon to Resign.. 2 weeks after the tapes were released..
9/
For all of you .. You keep on toting the company line.. It didn’t matter the R’s were never going to Convict.
Data and History is not on your side.. You’re just talking out of your ass.. The Only thing that has changed since Nixon is PO for Impeachment/Removal thresholds
10/
Goldwater,Scott and Rhodes didn’t March to WH.. On 07/28/1974 when the Hearing Began (50% Impeach/Removal.. They Marched to WH on 08/08 .. Bc of 7% gain in little over a week period.. Again the Public Moved Nixon to resign.. And the Public Would’ve Moved R’s to Convict Trump

11/
and Bar him from ever holding Public Office Ever Again.. Or the Republicans would’ve wore the stain of Trump forever..
This can still be accomplished..
But don’t kid yourself .. It’s going to be difficult path to get there..

Instead of focusing on Impeach/Removal Data

12/
Now you have to focus on your Internal Polling Data.. How the Public Perceives the Dems..
The Media/Courts will have to play a major role..
IMO Merrick Garland should appoint a special counsel.. to handle all the Political Player Portion Investigation/Prosecutions
13/
The Less Partisan of a look the better off.
The House Should Immediately Draw up Legislation for 01/06 Commission.
Have it up for Vote ASAP
Closing
Dems need to learn
Until they stop caving to GOP Bullying
Things will never change
They won’t respect you and tell the fear you
