During a segment of ABC’s ‘This Week with George Stephanopoulos’ with fill-in host Martha Raddatz, some Michigan voters were asked about their views on President Trump and impeachment.
Ms. Raddatz and her viewers were perhaps a bit surprised by the reaction they got from these voters.
“What do you think about the impeachment,” a few voters in Michigan were asked.
ABC viewers were then treated to the unexpected, “I think he’s getting railroaded,” one voter said.
“I think it’s a terrible idea. It’s obviously — it’s biased and I think it’s political, and 50 years from now I think people are really going to look down upon it,” said another.
Another voter, obviously a Democrat, or at least not a Trump supporter said “I don’t think this is going to help the Democratic Party. I really don’t, in fact, I have great fear that the opposite is going to happen.”
While this is bad news for some voters, and for members of the mainstream media, it is terrific news for those of us who support the President and like the work he is doing for the American people.
Even worse for Democrats this comes on the heels of another exchange in an important swing state that does not bode well for them in 2020.
A Trump voter in Pennsylvania was asked by a CNN reporter about how their views might have changed of the President since impeachment, and the reporter got a big surprise.
The voter, who runs a dairy, told the reporter that impeachment made him think we needed more outsiders like the President in Washington D.C.:
He’s absolutely right!
We do need a lot more outsiders like the President to shake up government at all levels, all across the country.
Here is a partial transcript of that exchange, it’s fairly enlightening:
REPORTER: “In Blair County, Pennsylvania, the impeachment of Donald Trump isn’t hurting the President.”
PFEFFER: “No, I love him.”
REPORTER: “Supporters say it’s helping him.”
PFEFFER: “I think what they’re doing is completely wrong. And I will vote for him in the coming election.”
MAN: “It could help him get reelected, actually.”
REPORTER: “Voters here, predominately white, working class, strong in their conservative beliefs. What do you think this will do for Democrats?”
MAN 2: “I think just put a nail in their coffin.”
REPORTER: “Trump won more than 70 percent of the vote in this blue-collar county about two hours east of Pittsburgh, significantly outperforming Mitt Romney in 2012. But the Republican county chair says, had I asked him a year ago if Trump could repeat his success in 2020, he would have said unlikely. Now — “
MAN 3: “I think he’ll turn out that percent and more.”
REPORTER: “He’ll do as good as that, maybe even better?”
MAN 3: “Maybe even better.”
REPORTER: “How is that possible? Two reasons. Trump voters we talked to here like the economy and loathe impeachment. They credit Trump with the former and blame Democrats for the latter. And how would you say the economy here is in Altoona?”
DEVORRIS: “It’s — it’s good. You know, it’s not people celebrating boom days, but it feels like the kind of long-term steady growth.”
REPORTER: “At Blair Image Elements, they make signs all of us see. But what critics see as clear evidence of presidential abuse of power, CEO Philip Devorris sees as just the same old polarized Washington politics that moved him to vote for Trump in the first place.”
DEVORRIS: “If it did anything, it would make me want to support him more.”
REPORTER: “It’s pretty much the same story down on the farm.”
KULP: “This location, there’s about 1,500 cows being milked.”
REPORTER: “Milk from the Kulp family dairy goes into Hershey chocolate and Land O’Lakes butter. Kulp’s business is improving but his attitude toward impeachment. He doesn’t follow it much.”
KULP: “Now I work too many hours to pay close attention.”
REPORTER: “The way Kulp sees it, voters should elect more like Trump to Congress. Is the impeachment process in any way going to change your outlook or support of this President in 2020?”
KULP: “No. You know, just makes me I guess more convinced that we need more outsiders in Washington.”
