CNN presidential historian predicts public support for Trump will collapse
By Jessica Campisi - 11/30/19 08:11 AM EST

CNN presidential historian Douglas Brinkley on Friday predicted that public support for President Trump will collapse as House Democrats continue their impeachment inquiry against him.

“It just tells you what deep trouble Donald Trump is in, when you have 50 percent of the country wanting you not just impeached, but removed from office, and the game hasn’t even gotten fast yet,” Brinkley said on-air Friday morning.

“I think once the vote is taken by Congress to impeach him and he’s wearing the ‘I’ on his chest, you’re going to see that movement grow even more," Brinkley predicted.

Yes, that worked so well with Clinton...

After his impeachment proceedings in 1998 and 1999, Clinton's rating reached its highest point at 73% approval. He finished with a Gallup poll approval rating of 65%, higher than that of every other departing president measured since Harry Truman.

Let me add that 2/3 of the nation believed the Impeachment process was very bad for the country.

Further, a strong economy helped to push the "Impeached" President's approval ratings higher...sound familiar?

...and Clinton was convicted of perjury, admitting to lying and even apologized publicly for it.

Similarly, author Bill Bryson characterized Brinkley as "a minor American academic and sometime critic whose powers of observation and generosity of spirit would fit comfortably into a proton and still leave room for an echo"

What are you smoking, Brinkley. 

[libertybele]

A "CNN" presidential historian; that immediately tells me it's b.s.

[sneakypete]

Well,I guess that,and that homo Upchuck Todd on Meet the Press declaring he is in love with Buttplug for President means it's over for Trump.

Todd doesn't even pretend he is impartial anymore. This is personal for him.

I think this is all going to come back and slap them upside the head.

I can't be the only one who is fed up with this 3yr temper tantrum by the Rats, leftists and media. I think the deplorables are going to grow in number. I know I will vote for Trump this time around. One thing to be said for "over the top Trump supporters" is at least they know how to be civil.

It always does, a hundred time over. And they keep spewing this crap over and over and over and over...
They are not trying to convince us. They are saying this crap to themselves. They are trying to convince themselves.
This is what they WANT to believe so hard, that they think that if they say it enough...and really, really, really, cross your fingers, double-dog believe in it...

Somehow it will really come true.

I don't care what he thinks.  I go by my own instincts and they say people can only take so much of this.

Has it occurred to you that not everyone is on the same Trump hating page as you?

I am assuming that you are talking about people being fed up with all the anti-Trump crap.

[libertybele]

I am assuming that you are talking about people being fed up with all the anti-Trump crap.

The public is tired of the shenanigans from the left and their refusal to do what's in the best interest of this country, all in part because that can't get over losing to Trump.  I can only image their ire when he wins re-election.  Meanwhile, the DC country club continues to plot how they can oust Trump; in essence disregarding the will of the people.

The economy has experienced an upswing; unemployment is way down, Black and Hispanic unemployment are at historic lows, finally new portions of the wall are being built, illegal immigration has been curbed (to a degree), alliance with Israel rekindled, our military is being rebuilt and our country is once again respected. Trump is not without flaw, but he has moved this country in a more positive direction then we've seen in a long time.

Pretty hard for the leftist to compete with their platform of socialism.

Your instincts stink.   Take a TDS pill and chill the hell out.

And that would be the point, wouldn’t it? Are we going to sit by and let the Washington establishment, using deceit and the power of their offices to define who should be president, and who shouldn’t. We made the choice and they want to erase it with a sham impeachment.

So who should we blame for the constant agitation? The people using a phony impeachment show and fake news, or the target of the smear campaign? I blame those who have abandoned our long tradition of the peaceful and orderly transfer of executive power. Damn sore losers won’t, or can’t, let it go.

Sometimes when people do things wrong they apologize and the public forgives them.  That crap won't happen with Trump, because Trump can't apologize. 

[Snarknado]

I predict Trump will emerge in crowning triumph and dems will be scrambling to avoid accountability to their voters for their spectacular train wreck...

I too believe this to be the most likely outcome, and thank God for it.

@Once-Ler

Quit lying. You just want him to apologize for something he didn't do so you can have a "gotcha moment".

[Mesaclone]

And sometimes people don't do anything wrong, and therefore don't apologized and the public respects them for it.

In the game of "name that crime"....clearly, after months of Inquisition level tribunals, yourself and other TDS folks are still coming up empty. So why persist in this fantasy?

[Hoodat]

Brinkley is the author of "Tour of Duty: John Kerry and the Vietnam War" which was published during the 2004 Presidential election campaign and gave a flattering review of Kerry's ability to command.  Yet this same Brinkley declared Donald Trump "Unfit for command"?  Yeah right.  Not buying it.

They did the same BS with Hillary for President. Between the dead, the illegals, the multivoters, and the other fraud, they almost pulled that off, but the 'fix' wasn't strong enough. No wonder they were all aghast and having conniptions and apoplexies, they had that election bought and paid for.

They're setting up the next round of the same BS.

We need to lobby for more lampposts in D.C.

I'm just one of The People, but I'm sick and tired of a Congress which has spent three years digging for a crime, any crime, even a parking ticket, on this POTUS while blatantly ignoring the egregious crimes of the previous administration, and the business at hand. It's the same jibber-jabber all over the news, in between the same calls for us to divest ourselves of our fundamental civil rights while we're being told, in essence, that the 'rights' of specific groups are 'enhanced and protected'.

Vote the b@st@rds out, every stinking one of them. I am sure there is some enemy, foreign or domestic, they have given aid and comfort to.

Now THAT is an idea I can get behind.
