"Did the majority know that Clinton cannot be impeached?"
I'd like to know that as well. I'm aware that they show only the crazy, incorrect answers. But only one guy knew that Hillary was not president and therefore couldn't be impeached? In LA?
Most likely they did show only the worst cases, but that fact that they could find even a few people this dense in a normal population is startling.
My guess is, these people think "impeached" means something generic like "indicted", "arrested", "shot", etc. Wingnuts tend to be rather weak on distinctions between vaguely-related concepts.
On the other hand, I once saw another video like this which asked Republicans in the street why they thought Obama didn't immediately come back to the White House and take firm action after the September 11 attack. People gave various answers, but no one interviewed seemed to realize that Obama wasn't President at that time. So who knows what some of them are thinking. The wingnut media certainly rant about Hillary enough. Their audiences probably do think she's in some position of authority.

Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

It would be interesting to know what proportion of people said yes. Did the majority know that Clinton cannot be impeached?
