Don't get Chuck Todd wrong: his heart is definitely in the right [i.e., left], liberal place about President Trump and has repeatedly shamed conservatives and Republicans for not backing impeachment.
On the Friday edition of MSNBC's MTP Daily, Todd made clear that he believes there is "Damning" evidence against the President that supports his impeachment.
On a pragmatic political level, Todd expressed surprising skepticism about the wisdom of proceeding with impeachment, instead of letting voters decide at the ballot box in little more than a year.
Todd made a multi-pronged argument against impeachment, including the following points.
Finally, Todd agreed with New York Times columnist and faux Republican David Brooks that if you go outside the Beltway, voters, including Democrats, just aren't very interested in impeachment.
The second you step outside of it, you're like, oh, what the hell are they doing? Let me put up: He says, for most, impeachment-he's talking about voters outside of Washington: "For most, impeachment is not a priority. It's dull background noise--people in Washington, the national media, doing the nonsense they always do. A pollster can ask Americans if they support impeachment, and some yes or no answer will be given, but the fundamental reality is that many Americans are indifferent." I think you see evidence of that even on the campaign trail on the Democratic side of the aisle.
