Donald Trump gives a thumbs-up after a meeting with Mitt Romney over a possible appointment as Secretary of State, November 2016
I joined talkRADIO’s Julia Hartley-Brewer to review the twist in the Trump impeachment trial, with Republican Sen. Mitt Romney joining Democrats in the vote to convict Trump of abuse of power, and to look ahead to November’s US elections.
Along the way, we dispel myths such as a surge in support of Trump during the impeachment process, and the inability of any Democrat nominee to challenge him for the White House.

“Politics professor Scott Lucas: “There are people entrenched with Donald Trump even if he shot someone on 5th Avenue.” ”
Of course there are, there are people who still harp on obama’s middle name. But those people alone would not get DT elected. DT goes after people who are dems-reps voters, the ones Hillary ignored, the ones dems don’t want to be bothered by.
