While speaking from the CPAC stage Friday in Grapevine, Texas, American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp asked a question he apparently thought would hype up the crowd.

“How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?”

The crowd erupted in cheers.

“No,” Schlapp responded, shaking his head. “That was the wrong answer. Let me try it again. How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?” he asked the crowd for a second time.

Again, he was met with cheers.

Video that doesn't leave out the cheers to the last question so they can be compared: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxnDvXjfVO0

I'm just going to say, I live in a very red area of Tennessee close to where some Whiskey is made. Folks at the Co-Op have very few nice things to say about Trump at the moment. In fact, some have some choice words.

Whoever Trump's handlers are, they're smart to keep him golfing these days.

They wanted hate, but they got hate and poverty.
