Which is irrelevant to impeachment, as you know.
But there is a reason his popularity went up during that - it was obviously a weaponized tactic.
And that's the thing. Weaponizing it is going to be only partially successful because people push back.
Yes, it is is possible the GOP propaganda machine is much more powerful now since Fox news was just a fledgling back then.
Benghazi *did* work to lower Clinton's favorablity ratings.
But there is absolutely nothing stopping the GOP from doing all that already.
Remember these are people who blame the Supreme Court situation on how the Democrats "weaponized" the Court nomination process with Bork.
The idea that Trump's impeachments are going to result in the GOP "weaponizing impeachment" is silly because they are going to do it anyway.
So the Democrats may as well do the right thing.
This impeachment was already the most bipartisan ever. That some of the GOP senators are now going to turn around and try to dodge this on "procedural grounds" is just what one expects from them.
This impeachment is wholly unconstitutional.
A) Can't use impeachment to prosecute a private citizen because the objective is to remove the president from his office. Trump is out of office, therefore cannot be removed.
B) The Constitution clearly states that the Chief Justice must preside over president's impeachment(the trial in the Senate). Justice Roberts already said NO
C) a senator cannot preside and be a juror at the same time.
my heart goes out to President Trump! Life is so unfair to him!
Have the dems sent an angry mob fed with lies to find Trump and deal with him? What a bunch of law breakers!
I agree. Totally cheapened. They're even impeaching presidents who incite a seditious mob to storm their own legislature, overthrow the government and kill the lawmakers now! Whatever next?!..... Impeaching presidents who nuke parts of their own country or assassinate their rivals?!?!?!
Legal Scholars' Letter Supporting Constitutionality of Impeaching and Convicting Presidents After they Leave Office
The signers include a wide range of constitutional scholars across the political spectrum, including Federalist Society co-founder Steve Calabresi.

170 legal scholars don't agree with you, JC.
But you know more about US constitutional law than all of those guys, right? Tell us about Hitler again....
He was president when the house voted to impeach him, its just up to the senate to finish the job.
Blame Mitch for refusing to act in a timely manner.
Look at the charges.
Andrew Johnson refused to protect newly freed slaves in defiance of congress.
Nixon tried to use the power of the govt to spy on, and attack/destroy/ political opponents and then obstruct and cover up crimes.
Clinton lied about a bj to a grand jury.
Trump used the power of the govt to attack his political opponent. This was against the law.
Trump interfered with an election through intimidating election officials and inciting an insurrection against the govt of the usa. Also against the law.
Except for Johnson, all were impeached for violations of law. IMHO the worst is Trump 2, followed by Nixon, Trump 1, Clinton, Johnson. I say worse because it an overt effort to change the USA system of govt.
Trump has plenty of other laws he is alleged to have broken (individual 1, anyone?) But has yet to be charged.

Republican Senator Warns About Impeachment Of Past Democratic Presidents
He's spoken out against Donald Trump's impeachment, implying it could the lead for Republicans to impeach former Democratic Presidentswww.ladbible.com
GWBush should have been impeached for lying about WMD's. Trump should have been impeached about 10 times, but twice will have to do. Clinton's impeachment was bullshit . A blowjob has nothing to do with government corruption or national security. Nixon deserved it but at least had the decency to resign, so we give him a pass. The Repuglicans are so corrupt that they will probably try to impeach every Dem President for the forseeable future ( I mean what has Biden done in 1 week to warrant impeachment)? Repugs are a joke.
Whatever it was did not threaten the democracy. Some people just have their priorities screwed up.
Right, because catching Bubba obstructing justice, on a few occasions, was not a threat to democracy. Just accusing Trump of the same put the Republic on the edge of destruction. Impeach. Oh, sorry. That's not what the first impeachment was about. ROTFLMFAO!!!
The GOP are terrified of The Blessed One's disciples, they have begun defending him. That's disturbing, sedition cannot go unpunished, it will pave the way to a Stephen Miller dictatorship.
Maybe the GOP should get together and brainstorm. Where's Marco Rubio?

A married guy lying about a BJ is not a threat to democracy.
Consorting with the Russians to influence an election through social media lies from fake accounts, trying to strongarm election officials to change results and steal the election, and inciting a mob to violently overthrow the Capito to disrupt a count of the Electoral College votes and potentially hang Mike Pence are all threats to democracy. They are directly involved with the actual elections, which is the basis of democracy.
The fact that you try to draw equivalency is truly ridiculous. No rational person could have a thought process that screwed up.
As I said, you reap what you sow.
