Someone needs to tell Trump that impeachment hearings would get high ratings.

Since he is so concerned with high ratings. He can be impeached, convicted, tossed, and do it all with super high ratings. That should appeal to him. He could brag about how his impeachment hearings got better ratings than any other president in history! The highest ever! It was the greatest impeachment anyone has ever seen! Tremendous support!


I know I'd watch and cheer.

Just my early morning happy thought.



Thinking of all DUers in Texas.

for boosting the viewership/readership of "low-rated CNN," "ratings disaster MSNBC," "failing NYT," "fake news AmazonWashingtonPost," etc.

We may even be lucky enough to get a tweet like this:

"Many people are saying my impeachment will destroy the ratings of Andrew Johnson's impeachment. Not a single person watched on tv! Sad!"

Okay, maybe not.

If Trump is innocent and has nothing to hide, he should go for it!

Obama has the record for most liked tweet ever. If Trump tweeted "I resign", he would shatter Obama's record in bigly fashion.

I'd give him bragging rights.

Me: You got impeached and removed from office.

Trump: It was the best ever!

Me: You win!
