Dem congressman warns removing Trump is '''bad politics,''' predicts Nikki Haley as GOP nominee in 2020 | Fox News

A Democratic congressman warned his colleagues on Monday that removing President Trump may be "bad politics" and predicted that Republicans would nominate former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley in 2020.

Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., was asked on "CNN Newsroom" about remarks he made last month in which he said: "It's probably not a good thing to get rid of him [Trump]" despite his strong belief that the president should be impeached and removed.

"I do think that it's the right thing to do to remove him from office. I believe he is an imminent danger to this country and to our democracy, but I was saying that the political consequences may not be very good for the Democrats," Yarmuth explained.

Yarmuth then made a bold prediction that the GOP would not proceed with Vice President Mike Pence as the presumptive nominee if the Senate did take the unlikely step of voting to remove Trump from office.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like some Democrat Congressmen are starting to get nervous.

We shouldn't impeach Trump for his dozens of impeachable acts as POTUS, because we don't want Nicky Hailey as POTUS?
Sounds absurd.

"I do think that it's the right thing to do to remove him from office. I believe he is an imminent danger to this country and to our democracy.
He later said: “I don’t think this is about politics and I don’t think we should consider politics," Yarmuth said. "I just think it could be bad politics.”


That's more appropriate. Nicky Hailey would be good for politics and the nation, as compared to Trump.
Trump removed from office has a high 99.99% probability of being good for the nation and politics.

Maybe he thinks we're a nation of partisans. We're not. Presidents are supposed to serve all Americans...Democrats, Republicans, and the rest. I suspect Nicky would fulfill that far more effectively than Trump, while also not being so deplorable as a leader, so corrupt, and such a danger to the nation. Politically if Trump is removed, the nation...including Democrats, benefit greatly. So do Republicans, even if they don't understand it.

Didn't Nancy say this had to be bipartisan? The vote was bipartisan to vote against impeachment inquiry WAS bipartisan. The vote for impeachment inquiry was not bipartisan. Don't think its about politics...yeah right. :roll: Oh well Nancy lied again. :lol:

That's something that plenty are still waiting for your side to actually prove.

We already proved that - many times over.

That you choose to gaslight and pretend there isn't overwhelming evidence in plain view doesn't change the facts, or make anyone obligated to rehash them.

It's like listening to a creationist ask for proof of evolution and the age of the Earth, then proceed to ignore transitional fossils, genetics, and radiometric dating. It's the same thing here. You have no interest in interacting with the evidence you ask for.
 
Interesting proposition. I have a better one. Nominate one of those little bobblehead souvenirs of Trump. Just prop it on the podium at rallies, his supporters won't know the difference: they'll holler and wail and gnash their teeth. Probably win by a landslide but will do a lot less damage.

Nothing you said in the OP refutes the mile-long trail of guilt that tRump has laid down. Bring on Nikki Haley!

The evidence so far is that a bunch of people made assumptions about things that either Rudy Giuliani told them directly or someone else who talked to Rudy Giuliani intimated to them. What there is overwhelming evidence of is that Rudi Giuliani orchestrated the quid pro quo. No evidence has yet been presented that Rudy Giuliani did that at the direction of Trump and there is actually a decent case to be made for plausible deniability. That is the dilemma for Democrats.

Strange, I don't see you supplying said evidence. Instead I see you whining about being called out on not having yet supplied it... funny how that works.

Listen, if you really want to talk about reality. Then I suggest that you actually supply whatever evidence you think proves that Trump should be impeached, instead of this usual chest thumping.

Because just saying that there's evidence, and that it's already been proven, when it obviously hasn't. Doesn't really cut it. Which also counts for the fact that it's boring, and highly annoying that anyone who simple ask to see what this evidence is. Gets treated to the same rounds of crying and bluster that your whole camp usually brings.

This is a simple set of questions with an equally simple set of answers.

The Democrats have far too many problems this year, and their continued actions aren't helping anything.

They have an obligation to investigate this. They just aren’t doing a good job of it.

Schiff, lying off the bat about the phone call was probably the first sign that hardly any of this was going to go well for the democrats.

What an incredibly stupid thing to say. How do you go in one breath from saying that removing Trump from office would the right thing to do. Because he represents an 'imminent danger to our country and democracy. To saying BUT let's consider the "politics" of it first. No, Mr Congressman when someone represents "an imminent danger to our country and our democracy" you're suppose to put our "country" and our "democracy" first. Screw the politics and just do what is "right" for our country and our democracy.
 
That's something that plenty are still waiting for your side to actually prove.

Lies. There is no standard to which you or 90% of Trump supporters will hold Trump to account. There is zero evidence there is, on any issue, throughout this 3 years.
Acting like there is, and we just "have to reach it", is an obvious lie.

Trump would have been long gone had he been anything other than a sitting POTUS. Even a representative would have been forced out long ago. And god forbid, a chairman of a board of a major corporation...he'd have been drummed out after a few months.

hailey isn't going to run right now she has said that.
she isn't going to replace Pence.

it is probably a good idea for her not to be involved anymore than what she was.
she is a better pick for 2024 and lead the way as the first woman president.

however this is key right here. it shows that support for this nonsense is not as solid as pelosi thinks it is
and even democrats in house are having second thoughts after that crap show that schiff put on.
public support is declining big time after schiffs **** show.

pelosi is facing a non bi-partisan call for impeachment a huge lack of public support and the fact that if it goes to the senate
trump will be found innocent and it will then be in the middle of the election year by the time it gets there and will
give trump an even bigger sounding board.

all in all this is a full on debacle by schiff and pelosi allowed him to continue it and now she has no way out.
 
I have stated on this forum some time ago that there is a very real chance the Nikki Haley will become the first female president of the USA.

she can and probably would. she needs to stay out of this mess if she wants to make a run in 2024.
She should in no way attach herself to trump in any way at this point. if she does then she will be
smeared more so than what she already will be by the inclusive tolerant leftist party.

accusations without evidence is nothing.
you leftist seriously need to get this through your head.

it is going to continue to be a disaster if every time you yell wolf and can't find the wolf.

people in the US are innocent until proven guilty.
no conspiracy
no nothing.

no matter how much you want to stomp your feet and yell it won't change facts.
 
Didn't Nancy say this had to be bipartisan? The vote was bipartisan to vote against impeachment inquiry WAS bipartisan. The vote for impeachment inquiry was not bipartisan. Don't think its about politics...yeah right. :roll: Oh well Nancy lied again. :lol:
Read the next line after the bold: "I just think it could be bad politics.”
It's as though you don't know basic reading comprehension. Is that a requirement to be a die-hard Trump supporter? He agrees it could be bad politics (given that it's obviously never going to be bi-partisan).
He's over-thinking it. He should support the chosen Democratic strategy, because it's right. He should stop over-analyzing it and support them, without reservation, politically, because he's a politician...and the Democratic strategy is Constitutional, entirely appropriate, ethical, and reasonable.
 
How is Nikki Haley going to be the nominee in 2020 if Trump is running?

Your posts are so depressingly stupid, it's hard to know if you're trolling or you believe the nonsense you write.
In the case you believe it, I will remind you as I just had to remind another incorrect Trump defender, that "innocent until proven guilty"
1. has to do with conviction or plea, to criminal charges.
Trump cannot be charged with federal crimes as POTUS, so that's irrelevant.

2. Impeachment is not a fair criminal process, the jury in this case is stacked in favor of POTUS, has conflicting interests, has been tampered with by POTUS (campaign funds and attacks if they oppose him), etc. It's nothing even close to fair.

3. If we did use an analogy to the criminal justice system, we're in the INVESTIGATION phase ludin.
The investigation phase typically requires "credible allegation of wrongdoing or reasonable basis to believe an American has engaged in [wrongdoing].
We had that with the IG-backed whistle-blower account. Oops on you.

4. Next, since you don't appear to understand America, would be the decision to indict/charge, and this standard is "probable cause". Once again, NOT innocent until proven guilty...that's nonsensical as related to investigations or indictment/charges.

5. in the *TRIAL* phase, he will either be punished or not by the Senate. And since this is political and not a fair/just setup, most everyone believes Republicans will not impeach Trump purely for partisan political reasons, not because of anything to do with evidence...lol. As if. they deny reality/evidence every day Trump is in office, everyone knows it.
 
It sounds like a test balloon they are floating, trying to find the best exit ramp when they need to give people an explination for NOT impeaching.

The word "censure" has been tossed around for the last couple of weeks as a face-saving idea.
 
Schiff, lying off the bat about the phone call was probably the first sign that hardly any of this was going to go well for the democrats.

That was a stupid ass move on his part. That automatically made this crap look like a circus.

The pusball weasel was trying to be cute, but it ended up blowing up in his face.
