Trump Report Card: Zogby says Trump’s no Nixon, removal impossible with good approvals
Washington Examiner, Sep 28, 2019, Paul Bedard
This week’s White House Report Card finds President Trump closer to facing House impeachment hearings, a nightmare for West Wing war room staffers and a dream for Democrats who have sought his removal since before his inauguration.
Pollster John Zogby said that while the latest affair, Trump’s phone request to Ukraine’s president for a “favor†involving former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, puts him on a path to impeachment, there is “no way†the Senate convicts.
Like with former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment, Zogby said that the Senate won’t remove a president with a growing approval rating like Trump’s. He’s not former President Richard Nixon, who at 23% approval, stepped down.
And conservative grader Jed Babbin dismissed the impeachment drive as a lot about nothing. “This is going to be a Seinfeld impeachment. Remember the running joke in Seinfeld that the sitcom was about nothing?†he said.

I hope the GOP can force a vote in the House. Get them (D Reps) on record.
