Adam kinzinger. congressman, if you are the former president, how concerned would you be by the 60% of americans say they would probably not or never vote for you in a general election? obviously, there s plenty of other numbers that are much more encouraging for him. i couldn t imagine being the former president. to be donald trump. but if i had to, pretend to be him, i d be a little nervous. he s entirely banking on winning so that he can pardon himself. or so that he can at least stop investigations if they haven t gone to trial yet. i think harry s right. the reality is, this is a close race. this is the danger for those of us that actually believe in democracy and want to preserve it. it s that, people are going to assume that, since donald trump was under all these indictments, investigations, and potentially, even convictions by then, that he s going to lose. that s not a smart assumption. it s going to be a close race.
Probe is looking at. the president is an unnamed co-conspirator in a crime out of new york and yet it hasn t moved. that s what the speaker is understanding. she s not saying sd ining stop investigations. she is saying everybody is looking at this bright shiny object of impeachment and we need to look at other things. it s also a way to take the heat out of the members who go back to their communities and say look at the speecher. i think it creates a little more space. it always strikes me watching your political career that you re an unhyphenated democrat. you come out of a big city. you have some wealth, some non-wealth. you have a good community to respond to. can you tell your community i think he should be impeached but
