It's so obvious that this is just one more attempt by this president to divide this country. When Republicans say this impeachment is a scam, that's because it's an intentional action on the part of Donald Trump and his far-right think tank. They have their FOX News outlet that will brainwash their base. And now they have a bunch of people in Congress who are airing Trump Advertisements every day. The Republicans in Congress aren't even addressing the charges. They are using their platform to tout Trump accomplishments. Finally, a few Dems started calling their bluff, citing billionaire tax cuts and trillion-dollar Trump deficits. Trump wanted Congressional impeachment to divide the country. It's nothing but a ploy to get back in the polls. Hopefully Americans are smarter than this.
Trump really doesn’t need a coordinated anti-impeachment strategy: Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News is on the case – Alternet.org
That’s an astounding level of ignorance and/or delusion, needless to say. Whether or not Trump mentioned Biden isn’t a matter of “belief” or “opinion.” It’s a demonstrable fact, evident in the recreated transcript of the call released, under great external pressure, by the White House. Denying that Trump mentioned Biden is on the level of denying that Trump told Billy Bush he likes to “grab them by the *****.”
This is just the latest in a growing trend of polls that I like to dub “let’s see how ignorant Republicans are” polling. Traditionally, polls ask respondents about their opinions: who they intend to vote for, what they think about politicians, where they think the country is headed, that sort of thing. Increasingly, however, pollsters are running polls like pop quizzes to see whether respondents can pass a basic knowledge test regarding the relevant facts, which is a useful measure of how effective right-wing propaganda is.
