According to the latest CNN poll, nearly half of Americans support impeaching and removing him from office. That's up from 41% in May. Most notably, and alarmingly for Trump, that shift has come largely from independents and Republicans, for whom support has risen 11 and 8 points, ...Read more

The insultapalooza that was the 2016 presidential election -- wherein Donald Trump doled out emasculating nicknames to his opponents, attacked women for their looks, and mocked everyone from an American war hero and disabled journalist to a Gold Star family -- is burned on the brains of Democrats.

That feature of the 2016 election, in fact, has...Read more
