Did you notice I began the last post with .... The Base.

Yes The Base is the one most critical variable to consider. I have heard The Base through my neighborhood local. He is their voice. He is their "god". and bigotry is alive and well in my neighborhood.

Now if I were a "Republican" candidate in my area, I would have to acquiesce to The Base and not cross them or suffer being primaried by some really outright bigot, who has pledged fealty to Mr Trump. I for a long time pooh poohed this idea the base was that powerful but have been convinced it is a valid premise. You may not agree but then you don't live in my neighborhood. And I would suggest my neighborhood is like many in the South. It is just a fact of life.

And that is how else I would interpret the numbers.

That's one interpretation. I was using the numbers to show how and why most Republicans think impeachment is a very partisan political vendetta.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
