Here’s just how badly Donald Trump is losing the impeachment war

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

We’re less than two weeks into the House impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump, and we’ve already seen a treasure trove of incriminating evidence surface. We’ve seen multiple resignations. We’ve seen multiple people defy the Trump regime’s orders and give cooperative testimony against him. And we’ve seen Trump go completely, astoundingly, off the deep end.

But while all of those are important benchmarks when it comes to measuring just how badly Donald Trump is losing the impeachment war, here’s one that’s even more definitive. It turns out conservative groups are spending a ton of money trying to spin Donald Trump’s impeachment in Trump’s favor. Wait, so how can this be bad news for Trump?

The thing is, it’s not working. There’s a new Daily Beast article which paints the whole thing as somehow being a “crisis” for the Democrats, because more money is being spent on anti-impeachment ads than on pro-impeachment ads.

We suppose that even in the midst of Trump’s collapse, the media has periodically to stop and paint the Democrats as somehow being the ones who are really in trouble, for the sake of appearing balanced. But the reality is that even with all this money being spent on anti-impeachment ads, we’re seeing pro-impeachment poll numbers soaring by the day. The majority of Americans now want Trump removed, and that number will keep climbing in the coming days and weeks. Not even the millions being spent on pro-Trump propaganda can stop the country from deciding that Trump needs to go.

The 2020 election will be a referendum on Donald Trump, his crimes, and the complicity of his Republican Party, whether he’s still in office by then or not. The worse Trump’s poll numbers get as impeachment goes on, the more the Republicans will get wiped out across the ballot in 2020. These latest developments suggest that Trump’s crimes and impeachment are making the GOP so radioactive, wealthy conservatives can’t even fix this by throwing money at the problem.
