Poll: Majority say Trump should be barred from public office
A new poll released Saturday shows a majority of U.S. adults believe former President Trump should be barred from running for public office again.

Majority of Americans polled say that Trump should have been impeached and barred from public office. The GOP is going to have to deal with this perception and the perception that they didn't have the courage and morale backbone to do what needed to be done for the next electoral cycle. And they still won't be able to get rid of Trump.
So the impeachment "acquittal" is a weak triumph for the GOP, if triumph it is at all. It may actually leave the Dems in a stronger position than if Trump had been impeached.

Democrats had the votes to call a bombshell witness against Trump. Then they decided not to.

Which does not explain how your "idiotic" comment is not in itself idiotic. The math is simple. 2 senators from New York voting guilty represents a lot more citizens than 2 senators from North Dakota voting not guilty.
Trump doesn’t understand that people don’t like to be lied too, threatened and insulted day after day.
It is idiotic because the Senate votes are not representative of the population, but of the STATE. Hence, the NY vote is worth exactly the same as the New Hampshire vote.
Yes we do. It's why we understand how badly designed the system is.
Poll: Majority say Trump should be barred from public office
A new poll released Saturday shows a majority of U.S. adults believe former President Trump should be barred from running for public office again.
Majority of Americans polled say that Trump should have been impeached and barred from public office.
Majority of American thought he was guilty and should have been barred from office.
Majority of Senators thought he was guilty and should have been barred from office.
Majority of people represented by Senators thought he was guilty and should have been barred from office.
More members of the president's party than ever in US history thought he was guilty and should have been barred from office.
Most logical reason is that they realized they would be blocked from all appointments and other Senate business and not win a single additional GOP vote. (Maybe one more.)
Still, they shouldn't have held the witness vote in the first place if that was the case. It was a bad play because it let this narrative into play.
If majority of the people believe that he should be bared from the office, then they will simply not vote for him and he will not be elected. Of course, if by "majority" you do not mean 50.01%. Because to find someone guilty we need hell more than 50.01%
The Oracle

They got the letter admitted as evidence showing that Trump was throwing gasoline on the fire and putting every GOP senator's life at risk.
The vote wasn't going to change regardless, but getting them to vote for Trump knowing that he sent his mob after his own party is all the legacy they need.
It may be better this way as now there is no reason not to go after Trump in the courts since the US now understands that impeachment can't save the system from itself.
ROFLMFAO!!!!! Hilarious. She voted with the party opposite, the party that presented doctored "evidence" in a "trial" her own party decided it was unconstitutional. I don't care if you're left or right, but, if you find that rational, seeking a shrink should be the next course of action.
Your Team got killed, JC. It staved off total disaster, which would be Trump getting impeached.
But the Dems peeled off SEVEN GOP votes. That's pretty embarrassing. If the Dems' case was so weak, why did SEVEN GOP senators vote to impeach?... That means they found the Dems' case so fucking overwhelming that they couldn't vote party loyalty. And everybody in America knows that now.
And McConnell denounced Trump's actions in his speech, before seizing on a technicality to avoid impeaching Trump. That's BAD NEWS for the GOP. Essentially the parliamentary leader of the party pissed on the President but stopped short of destroying him. And everybody in America knows that now.
So where's the GOP win?
The GOP is leaking support already and the impeachment embarrassed the GOP still further. The next crop of GOP presidential candidates - Hawley, Cruz and Rubio - are already tainted goods. How'd you think they're going to do in 2024?
And how fucking embarrassing is it going to be when Grandaddy Orange-face Peach-hair "I attacked my own legislature" starts attending GOP events again and everybody has to pretend they respect him? It's either comical or a tragedy, depending on the mood you're in, isn't it?
???? Where is the GOP loss? Nothing has changed. It was no secret in January how Romney or Murkowski or Sasse would vote- they've been on the record never Trumpers since very beginning. Biden has exactly one year to turn the country around before the Congressional elections. Trump will campaign like crazy and keep drawing huge crowds. And so far, Biden and the Democrats don't seem to care about the working America.
Well, Trump sure AF didn't care about working class Americans. And he "campaigned like crazy and drew huge crowds" last year and still got his fat, diaper-wearing ass whipped by Joe.
You know what would've been a "WIN" in the impeachment trial?...... 50 solid GOP votes against, no statement from McC and 2 or 3 Dem abstentions. You guys fell far short.
It's like the Dems are the Maple Leafs and they play some minor league sad-ass team (the GOP) and the rules of the game are that the Leafs have to win by 20 goals and they only win by 19 goals and "lose". That's my analogy.
I imagine that sedition is not only an impeachable offense, but criminal as well.
