Former Dem Governor Tells House Democrats to "Slow" Their Roll on Impeachment
November 25, 2019On Sunday, former Democratic Governor of Michigan Jennifer Granholm urged House Democrats to "slow your roll" on the ongoing impeachment inquiry.
While she claimed they had made a solid case for impeaching President Trump, Granholm told them not to push too hard.
“They did so overwhelmingly and in fact I’m a former federal prosecutor and attorney general and if I had this case I would take it to a jury and without a reasonable doubt I would have a conviction if I did not have an unbiased jury,” Granholm said on CNN to host Jake Tapper after he asked if House Democrats made a solid case for impeachment.
The Daily Caller reports: "But as Granholm also noted, the Republican-controlled Senate would not be an unbiased jury. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham even said just last week that without the testimony of certain key witnesses — like the whistleblower — an impeachment trial would be “dead on arrival” in the Senate."

“They have already made up their mind,” Granholm continued. “It is important to consider as Democrats to slow our roll a little bit. I was glad to hear that Adam Schiff said there is other information and this is not the end of things. And people are saying before you toss it over to the Senate, why don’t you take your vote on what you’ve heard and just hold it. Seal it, like a sealed indictment until you’ve gathered what you think is necessary to convince the jury that has already made up its mind. I don’t think we’re there yet.”

When it comes down to it, the impeachment hearings were a total flop for House Democrats and polling data backs it up.
According to recent polling data conducted by Politico and Vanity Fair, Independent voters now oppose the impeachment of President Trump after the impeachment hearings were a total flop.
Prior to the impeachment hearings, Independents supported the idea of impeachment because they felt that President Trump committed a crime but their minds have clearly changed after the Adam Schiff impeachment hearings.

Check out what the Daily Caller reported:
After the first two weeks of public impeachment hearings, 62 percent of surveyed independents claimed the issue is “more important to politicians than it is to me” while 61 percent answered the same way when asked about the media. Conversely, only 22 percent and 23 percent answered the respective questions in the negative.
Furthermore – when asked to rank 11 issues as top priorities – impeachment placed last among independents, with just 27 percent ranking it as the top priority. For comparison, 74 percent selected the deficit, 72 percent selected healthcare, and 70 percent selected infrastructure spending as the top priority.
This data is quite shocking considering Independent voters' support for impeachment has done a complete 180 in only a month.
The Daily Caller continues:
Vanity Fair’s data marks a drastic shift on the issue. In October, polling from Gallup found that 53 percent of independents supported removing Trump from office while 44 percent opposed. A separate Morning Consult poll conducted in November – prior to the public impeachment hearings – found that 49 percent of independents supported and 34 percent opposed Trump’s removal.
According to Gallup, independents make up 38 percent of the electorate in early November, a greater electorate than both Republicans and Democrats, which recorded 30 and 31 percent respectively.
