Samantha Bee wants liberals to reconsider pushing for an impeachment of President Donald Trump, and focus their energy on more realistic goals, instead.
The host sent "Full Frontal" correspondents Mike Rubens and Ashley Nicole out on the streets Wednesday to convince liberals at a Trump impeachment rally in Los Angeles to reconsider what they're marching for, noting that "the thrilling discovery that Nixon's presidency was cut short after a mere 67 months in office may be making liberals a bit giddy."
The segment (above) poking fun at naive "lefties" explained that impeachment is not just a one-and-done move. If Trump were to kicked out of office, he would first have to be dispelled by House Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and all of the Senate Republicans that currently back him would have make nice with Democrats and vote against him.

That didn't stop the rally, though. While interviewing the crowd, many were unfazed by the unfortunate chain of events that would need to happen for an impeachment to happen.
Rubens and Nicole then went on to try and convince the ralliers to consider voting in smaller elections for the city, or even speaking to their state Senators. But the army of liberal protesters didn't budge.

There was of course one young protester who seemed to have the most logical reasoning of all.
"Our family doesn't like the President," she said. "We just don't like it, so we just get mad, and turn down the TV."
