"SNIP....

Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe that Donald Trump committed crimes before he became president, according to a new Quinnipiac poll conducted after Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen testified to Congress.

Among those surveyed, 64 percent believe that the president committed crimes before he was elected, with 24 percent saying they don’t think he did.

Those polled were split on whether they believe Trump has committed crimes while in office: According to the poll, 45 percent believe the president has, while 43 percent say he hasn’t.

Cohen last week gave a high-profile public hearing to Congress in which he commented on the president’s personal character, as well as payments made to women to keep quiet about what they said were former affairs with Trump. Cohen also spoke to lawmakers behind closed doors for two other days last week and is expected to speak in another closed hearing on Wednesday.

1. I suppose that means 43% of people (from article text) ... are idiots (nt)

[Hermit-The-Prog]

2. 43% willfully, determinedly ignorant (nt)

[ooky]

3. I wouldn't be shocked to find out he had people

"whacked".

[applegrove]

5. Oh I doubt that. Destroyed financially we know of cases already. The rest

will come out in the months and years to come.

[ooky]

6. I don't expect it. But it wouldn't shock me. I think he's capable of all evil.

[applegrove]

7. He is definitely out for himself and his selfish friends. Some of his policies

Will kill people like undoing Obama care or redusing environmental regulation. His lack of progress on gun control after showing some empathy for a moment in the WH after Parkland shows the GOP got a hold of him almost totally last year. So people will die by his policies but that is on the GOP too. His silence in the face of right wing extremism and terrorism will encourage more sick f***s to kill others. So he has alot to atone for.

[ooky]

13. Yeah, he's shown us his evil heart in so many ways that

nothing he is accused of will surprise me.

[trueblue2007]

8. i think 99 percent of people think Trump is THE DEVIL. Anti Christ evil demon.

[RockRaven]

9. 64% believe he committed crimes before being POTUS... remind me what % of the popular vote he got?

I think it was more than 36%.... more like 46+%, wasn't it?

At least 10% of American voters both voted for Trump AND (now at least) believe he committed crimes before becoming president. ONE IN TEN VOTERS THINK THEY VOTED FOR A CRIMINAL. Not one in ten Trump voters, one in ten of ALL voters. That means one in five Trump voters believe they voted for a criminal. ONE IN FIVE. With numbers like that, there should be a mass movement of angry and/or repentant Trump voters taking to the streets and lobbying Congress to take action against their terrible mistake, but we get *crickets*. Jesus Christ, they are deplorable.

[duforsure]

10. Just think about that number 64%

That's before Mueller's report is out, and before these investigations expose him a lot more, and for even worse criminal acts, and organized crimes he's a part of. Watch then how much that jumps up then. We have a crook in the White House alarms going off now.

[Runningdawg]

11. Let's hope all of that 64% votes.

[Joe941]

12. They will but sadly some of them will still vote for tRump.

[Runningdawg]

14. Ever the optimist...

I still hold out hope Trump will not be the nominee. At least one state, NJ has passed a law making it mandatory to release 5 years of taxes before appearing on a ballot. If another 10 follow suit, that will twist up the orange one righteously. And then there is Muller....
