Difficult. you need at least two-thirds of the senators present to vote to convict and to remove. so coming into this, everybody knows that reaching that threshold is practically impockei impossible. in fact, 19 people have been impeached by the house. less than half have been convicted and removed from office. the process is set up in a sense to fail. its set up to default into acquittal. >> and most of those people who have been impeached, theyre, what, congresspeople? >> theyre lower ranked j...

Context but criticised very strong in the decisions and the procedures followed and that it was disproportionate to continue to pursue a sausage in the way which to prosecutors were doing so they had a very high threshold to continue this procedure and now what we have seen is a new round also in. swedish court of the instance where they applied for pretrial detention on mistress on and and the prosecution said they had these battles swedish courts and so sale of prescription so i think that its...

What happened once they get past that first round and say the sanders people havent hit the threshold and then where do they go, right? i think that mechanic changes things in iowa. with mayor pete, what happens with block voters in the democratic party? he has extremely low numbers consistently among african-american voters and thats a big problem for him moving outside of iowa and new hampshire which is largely white as well. thats what joe biden is banking on, his strong numbers with african-...
