DEMS/IMPEACHMENT/POLLS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “As the first televised hearing of the impeachment probe unfolded on Wednesday [11-13-19] on the screen in his home in Flint, Michigan, Quincy Murphy said there was no chance the proceedings would alter his view that President Donald Trump is unfit to hold the office…More than 450 miles (725 km) away in his Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, barbershop, Trump backer Joe D’Ambrosio was equally adamant that the inquiry into whether the Republican president improperly pressured Ukraine to investigate a political rival would have no effect on his opinion…Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives hope a series of televised hearings will help persuade Americans that Trump deserves to be ousted from office…A Nov. 4-5 Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that 75% of Democrats supported impeachment, while 79% of Republicans were opposed. For many Trump supporters, the impeachment inquiry is nothing more than a partisan effort by Democrats to unseat a president they could not beat in 2016.”
