““I think it is vital that he be impeached, [but] whether removed this close to an election, I don’t know. But I think the conduct is impeachable,” she told CNN.”
Mmmm, interesting bellweather. Not sure she’s gonna have a lot of Republican figures lining up behind her, but it’s not nothing.
I don’t think it’s to relevant, or at least to the senate. I remember that she had a really good debate in the second tier in 2016 I believe on a Fox news debate but never could break out. She was considered a good candidate because of her business background like Trump and she never held public office. She kind of faded away after 2016.
Yeah it’s just interesting seeing a mainstream figure on the right step up. The polling will make the difference in terms of votes, but figures like Fiorina coming forward may tilt the polling.
It is pretty astonishing the numbers of Republicans that are clearly on board with publicly declaring Trump should be impeached for his obvious abuse of power, happen to directly correlate to the total numbers of Republicans not seeking elected office. It is almost as if everyone knows that Trump is guilty, but those who care about their own power will never admit as much.
They won’t get worse, and McConnell has his own re-election concerns. He will never allow his own chances to suffer by even giving the hint of distance between him and Trump on impeachment.
