Dress Rehearsal for Impeachment
realclearpolitics ^ | 10/08/2018 | Steve Cortes

Americans horrified by the conduct of the Senate Judiciary Committee over recent weeks should take heed. The reprehensible antics of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and the complicity of her Democratic colleagues, revealed for the country a spectacle that was nothing less than a dress rehearsal for the impeachment of President Trump.

In fact, the success of the Trump administration in front of that very Judiciary Committee by seating two conservative Supreme Court justices practically guarantees that if the Democrats win control of the House in November, they will move to impeach the president. Why? Because Trump-deranged Democrats know full well that the president will likely cruise to re-election on the already significant fulfillment of many of his 2016 campaign promises. In addition to the Supreme Court appointments, Trump’s economic growth policies have extended and accelerated prosperity to millions of Americans. Partisans like Rep. Maxine Waters and Sen. Cory Booker realize, therefore, that the only way to prevent Trump from serving six more years in the White House will be to thwart the peoples’ will and remove him via impeachment – and they will resort to any grounds to do so.

I want the Democrats to keep talking up the I-word through November.

It worked so well for our guys in 1998.

If that were to happen Democrats would once again self-immolate in front of the American public only to send an impeachment bill to the Senate where it would NEVER get 67 votes.

If the Dems are that stoooopid, let them try.

Concur! This whole hoopla has cost two groups major credibility...1) Democrats and 2) big media.

I would like to put the author Steve Cortez’ mind at ease, and let him know that not only have we taken heed, we are prepared for the dirty tactics of the satanic left.

This theater may be a dress rehearsal for them, but it also means they telegraphed their playbook to us.

Do not worry Mr. Cortez, us deplorables do not plan on standing idly by.

But thanks for the heads up anyway.

“. . . only to send an impeachment bill to the Senate where it would NEVER get 67 votes.”

It depends on what information those favoring impeachment have on each senator. Photos, documents, money, and the threat of accusations (true or false) can be used to influence voting. Almost every politician has a price.

If that was their dress rehearsal, I recommend a few more rehearsals. They blew it.

What “high crimes and misdemeanors” has President Trump committed while in office? Lib’s don’t answer real questions such as this.

If the Democrats manage to eke out a majority in the House but don’t get the Senate, Donald J Trump will then use the MSM focus on that action, which will be 100%, as cover to accelerate his MAGA program. He will say/tweet things to keep the hysteria ratcheting up about the impeachment and when it is in full cry and the nooses are being tied the Democrats will start to realize, far too late, that the solid ground they are standing on was a paper thin crust over an abyss and the paper has dissolved. I have tremendous faith in DJT. He may not out-IQ the brains on the Left but he is up there in their range and has unmathcable savvy, intuition, and ability to instantly know character. He is God’s trial gift to America. Those of us who continue to second-guess him are just frustrating themselves and are not helpoing the MAGA project. It is futile to second guess DJT. Everything now

What on earth makes anyone think that 2/3 of the senate would remove Trump from office?

This entire “impeachment” thing since BEFORE Trump took office is so grating, annoying, not gonna happen, ... it’s just driving the GOP to the polls, and making any sane person realize that the Left isn’t just unhinged, but dangerous to the country.

I believe the Republicans will pick up seats in the Senate. That said, I also believe the Democrats do not have to get 67 seats to convict. If they manage to get 55 there are enough Republicans that will take a Democrat gain as the Will of the People that they will side with the Democrats and convict. I also do not believe that DJT would allow it to get that far. If it is necessary for DJT to become Caesar he will become Caesar. The situation is existential. Even in the extreme, however, I believe that he can handle things and turn the Democrats in on themselves and shut them down without going full Caesar.

If the Left had that much power to bribe or intimidate GOP Senators the Kavanaugh nomination would have been D-E-A-D.

NOTHING is as important to the Left as control of the Courts.

Greitens was the original dress rehearsal. Trump will get his turn, unfortunately. It’s in the playbook.

I hope they don’t take the House, and if they do, their first order of business is to try impeachment...our Senate makes it DOA and two years down the road we retake the House by 30 seats...

It's worth following the link just to see the AP picture of 'lala Harris with her finger in the air. Krazee Hawaii is next to her and Bloominidiot is backing her up.

This is what the libs have planned for our future? Shuddddddder :)

Can persons in Congress be impeached for crimes? I guess not. They simply refer the case to the alleged “Ethics Committee” who if they find them guilty, slaps their hands and lets them continue on with their illustrious careers.
