Donna Brazile: GOP talking about impeachment more than Dems

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Donna Brazile said Sunday that Republicans are more focused on impeachment than Democrats.

“You know, Republicans are talking more about it than Democrats on the campaign trail,” Brazile told George Stephanopoulos on ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday morning.

“Democrats are talking about pocketbook issues,” she continued. “We know that the American people want an alternative to the status quo right now.”

Impeachment talk has ramped up since President Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations last Tuesday.

1. Good, let it STAY that way until AFTER the election.

Then we do what we do and we do it BEST

[Rorey]

2. I think it's a game they're playing on their constituents

I think they're trying their hardest to make it appear that we're the ones mentioning the "I-word" so they can use it as a scare tactic to get Republicans out to vote.

They treat their voters like they're stupid, and their voters never catch on.

Absolutely nothing against Yo.

5. I agree with the fact that she doesn't have any credibility

But why bother - IMHO, I want to know what all is included in the RUSSIA PROBE and tRump face a smorgasbord if charges! Let's not waste the money we Americans have invested - let's get the full story. We have the Bass-turd where we want him!!!

7. Seems like the right is trying to bait Dems to talk about it

[Blue_true]

9. I agree and Dem candidates should avoid it like the plague.

Talk policy on issues that people deal with every day, like cost of living, health insurance costs, cost of medicine.

[oberliner]

10. Yes, exactly

Couldn't agree more.

[Hekate]

8. They want us to walk into a trap and do a job they lack the spine to even begin, knowing...

...we are the minority party and don't have the votes.

When I hear a Repub whining that Dems should "do something," all I see is a trap.

12. I think rethugs should pull the trigger, it would improve their chances

or get him to step down
the longer he is around the worse for them but don't tell 'em

14. Democrats have NO reason to talk about impeachment right now.

Impeachment, while a somewhat motivating factor in more progressive and politically involved circles (DU for example) is not a major issue in the general public. General public still wants to know what government is going to do with the economy to help them out, with health care, and other local issues. Democrats need to run on what resonates with their constituents. If that includes impeachment and or going to Washington to hold Trump and the GOP accountable, then go at it. If it means representing your district to bring back jobs or work on raising the minimum wage, then that is good too.

Republicans have two reasons to keep harping on the subject. The first is trying to scare their gullible constituencies into thinking that all the Democrats are doing is focusing on how to destroy Trump. Second reason is to possibly separate themselves from Trump in the sense of talking about it as a test balloon.

Republicans are devious and they are desperate. They have very little, if any, moral compass. They will say whatever it is that they need to do to eek out a victory so that they can continue serving their real constituency, the wealthy.

Brazile seems to be falling for the media "conflict" set up, hook, line, and sinker.
