With the Senate's votes to acquit President Trump of impeachment charges brought against him by the Democratic House, his opponents have shot all of the most powerful arrows in their quiver save one — the voters.
"If voters believe Trump did something wrong and just got off on partisan grounds, that can become a real hurdle for him," said Neera Tanden, president of the influential liberal think tank Center For American Progress.She said Democratic nominee Al Gore was hurt in 2000 by the fact that President Bill Clinton suffered no punishment for his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky, which led to impeachment and his acquittal in 1999.
"There's really no candidate they have that's going to be able to take Trump on head to head," said Mark Feraco, 58, of Milford, who came to see Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on Tuesday but hopes former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg wins the nomination because he"can play in the dirt with Trump." Steve Rosseel, a Realtor in New Hampshire, said he fears that the party's two top national candidates, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sanders, aren't strong enough to defeat Trump.
