ESSEX JUNCTION, Vt. — Vermont’s governor became the first Republican chief executive to support an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump but cautioned that he wants to know more before any further actions are taken.

Gov. Phil Scott said at a news conference Thursday that he wasn’t surprised by the news that Trump repeatedly urged Ukraine’s president to “look into” Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden because he’s “watched him over the years.”

1. Gov. Scott should switch parties

And he might just, after the barrage of obscene letters and misspelled death threats he - and his family - are about to receive from the Chumpkins.

4. The Republican party has been a cesspool of corruption who's leadership exploits the gullible and

uninformed and he is still a member so I doubt he will switch now.

6. Gov Scott...

can pass as middle of the road Dem in most states. A flaming liberal in Alabama. Outside of a few crazies in the kingdom, that's how Vermont politics works. Strange state. Vermonters like their guns, reelected Scott, yet returned an organic farmer turned Progressive Party politician to the Lt. Gov's office by a decisive margin. Yes, we have 3 major parties in this state.

2. Watched who over the years?

Watched Biden, or the creature?

3. "he wants to know more before any further actions are taken"

What the *&%&^% more do you need you *(^*&%..right winger...

5. "he's watched him over the years", i.e. "I have eyeballs and I'm not in a coma"

...and Twitler begins online character assassination in 5...4...3...2...1...

7. Gov. Scott could care less what Chump tweets or thinks.

In fact, NOT coming out in support of impeachment would be far more damaging to his chances in 2020.
