One of Barack Obama’s top advisers as president says voters have a ‘chilling’ lack of interest in the impeachment case, which he blames on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s ‘cynical calculation’. David Axelrod, Mr Obama’s former chief strategist, met with a focus group of Democratic voters in Chicago on Friday in which he says impeachment “didn’t come up” until more than an hour into the discussion. When it did, the voters said they were “ready to move on” because the outcome of the Senate trial - in which Mr Trump’s team began his defence on Saturday - was a foregone

Listening to continual bombardment of fake facts, blatant conjecture, and projectile slander is not how I spend my time.

Hmmpff. From my perspective, the Left's overarching and exaggerated reasoning to gin up this impeachment is evil. So ...

What is chilling is that these same liars will go on national TV and repeat “not a smidgeon of scandal in the Obama administration.” And Schiff running this sham is the greatest hypocrisy!

Pah! What's chilling is that Obama got away with many, many actions extremely detrimental to America... and has not paid a price for them... SO FAR! I want to see all Swamp Rat Dems face justice.

Perhaps there will be more interest if people thought the impeachment was the least bit legitimate…

Voters are apparently smarter than Axelrod and the Dems and recognize a partisan hatchet job when they see one. They also seem to know who is abusing their power and not following the law -- and it isn't Donald Trump.

What the leftist and liberal Democrats are really finding out is that the majority of American voters are not stupid, and are not believing the Pelosi, Nadler, and Schiff political baloney hit job attempt on President Trump, and are going to re-elect Trump in November.

It’s interesting that even the Democrats have a complete lack of interest but still declare the charges ‘proven’. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are just repeating the CNN version of the truth like the trained seals that they are. Trump’s defense team destroyed the whole case this morning in two hours. I think it’s over.

What must be chilling to Axelrod is the realization that the majority of the American people are smarter than he and Obie gave them credit for. They recognize fake when they see it. So much so that Obie would probably not be elected now.

Wrong.
What is chilling is the notion that the Chief Executive of the United States is Nancy Pelosi, and that executive power devolves on the House of Representatives.
That is chilling. Mob rule. The Tyranny of the Majority.
The Schiffian notion that the people of the United States should be denied the right to vote for Donald J. Trump because he is not a representative of the Deep State, now that is chilling.
We should not be able to vote for Trump?
Give me a break.

No, what's chilling, is that Obozo and all of his cohorts aren't wearing orange jumpsuits and locked up behind bars.

I just want to know how much Obama is involved in the coup the Democrats are committing. It really looks like it goes back to him. That is what's truly chilling.

I don't care one whiff about the impeachment trial, Mr. Axelrod, not anything about you or Obama. I will say how satisfied I am that both you and Obama are gone. It's been really nice to have Trump, and not you.

I can certainly understand why it's so chilling for them. The people are finally on to their dirty tricks and their con game is over. Ditto for the role of the enemedia in promoting their agenda and covering up their crimes.

Chilling you say?
Mrs Clinton walking around as a free woman. That should give you chills.
And Jeffrey Epstein did not commit suicide.

Another son of communists. Chew on this dave. Consider how unlikely it was that Donald J Trump would become President. No political experience, no media hype, very few political allies, no big money backers, and yet here he is. I'll bet you still can't believe it. Zero chance, right? Now imagine that the pulled thread starts with your former VP and along the way starts taking out all the others involved in obvious law breaking. I would bet YOU would be in the room of those suspects and I'll bet YOU could be charged with multiple crimes as a knowing accomplice.
You have been resting easily knowing you and your ilk are untouchable, but are you? Until now it has been a certainty the Deep State can do whatever it wants, but in your zeal to replay all the dirty tricks you didn't take into account the new world. Like Kodak, things were fine, until they weren't. Maybe the odds are still in your favor that nothing will happen to you, but....

Axelrod is perceiving the chill of the grave and the death of the dem party. They have spent 4 years digging out their plot and in November they will take up residency. Meanwhile, Trump has gotten richer selling them shovels.

This is a variation on what Axelrod and other Obamunists used to say when confronted with non-starters of their administration: the voters don't understand, we didn't explain it well enough.

The bottom line. The dems believed that the fiasco presented in the house would result in a massive shift in Trump's approval ratings and shred his base. That's what is chilling to Axlerod. There wasn't a huge interest in listening to the braying of the donkey herd so very few, if any, minds were changed.

Obama's 'former top adviser' does not have a dog in this hunt. And, he has not one clue about what anyone bu he, is thinking so he should fall back on his backside and count his blessings

The dems have been crying wolf for over 3 years .... no one is listening or watching. The biggest mistake was allowing Mueller to go on for years with no crime to investigate. 32 million $$$, 19 prosecutors, 500 warrants , 2800 subpoenas was & is an embarrassment to the country ...courtesy of the corrupt JD & other corrupt agencies in the DC swamp ....

I didn’t know reptiles could feel a chill but as a warm-blooded human what gives me the chills is considering what the Democrats will do in November knowing that flooding the country with illegals, selling uranium to the Russians, giving our manufacturing base and our missile technology to the Chinese and an attempted coup haven’t given them the country on a platter yet. #iheartTrump

Why aren’t people interested? Maybe because they know it’s a complete fraud. And maybe also because they have jobs, extra cash and lower taxes than they did 3 years ago.

Of course Americans have a lack of interest, not many intelligent people pay a lot of attention to Bull poo.

Yeah, it's really 'chilling' that voters despise corruption and communism which was Barry's bread and butter.

Between the Klintoons and the sainted Obamas, we certainly have been treated to a wide variety of greasy individuals.

This fiasco is such a loser for Democrats - even their most ardent supporters are not buying the Bull Schiff. They want it to end NOW.
