FOCUS: Only Once Has Gallup Seen More Support for Removing a President. Nixon Was Gone Four Days Later.

Philip Bump, The Washington Post
Bump writes: "When President Trump's 2020 campaign claims Democrats have always wanted to see Trump impeached, it's not entirely incorrect. While the Democratic Party's establishment has only relatively recently embraced the idea of impeaching Trump, Democrats broadly - that is, voters - have long approved of the idea."

EXCERPT: 

Graham responded with obvious irritation. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) — who on Wednesday briefed his caucus on the mechanics of a likely impeachment trial — rebuked Trump strongly (for McConnell).
CNN reported last week that Trump’s strategy for keeping his party in line was to strong-arm them. He’s been calling McConnell regularly and threatening to attack senators who publicly break with him. If that’s also his strategy in the House, it isn’t working. The House overwhelmingly voted to condemn Trump’s actions on Syria and Turkey on Wednesday — a vote that included members of the House Republican leadership and numerous other Republicans.
