It’s pissing off the public and military too. Democrats on the verge of being dealt with like French Aristocrats of 1788. We all know what happened then!

The problem the democrats have is they are playing today’s wars with yesterday’s tactics. What they are doing with the total cooperation of the MSM would have worked in the days before Dan Rather was taken down by the internet and Freerepublic.

They simply no longer control the vernacular. With the internet in play, the truth always percolates to the top. It’s just a little slower. But once it builds up steam, it is unstoppable. That is what we are now seeing.

There will be literally thousands of scenes and ‘clips’ that the Trump-team will use for the 2020 campaign....that have nothing to do with the Democratic candidate, and everything to do with the ‘coup’ or the fake-impeachment.

Whether they realize it or not, the Democrats are handing Trump all the video necessary to lose on a magnificent scale.

Once again the WSJ gets it wrong. The Supreme Court has ruled in the past that the basic protections of due process DO apply to a political “hearing”. If they bothered to read the White House Counsel’s letter, there are the appropriate case citations listed in the footnotes.

I’m hoping this completely falls apart soon and that documents are declassified. It would be nice to have some juicy red meat by early November. Let the public think about it. Make it obvious that a lot of what they have been hearing just isn’t so. Make it clear that the Democrats are dirty, dirty, dirty.

Should make for some interesting discussions at the Thanksgiving table. There might be fewer strident Liberals and more people willing to defend Trump.

they are not trying to shift public opinion, they are just trying to quickly impeach Trump to make their rabid base happy, knowing full well nothing will happen in the Senate.

This way, they have to vote on impeachment in order to find out what is in the Impeachment.

Somehow the claims made on the basis of second-hand or third-hand knowledge by this CIA agent and Democrat operative, who can be called a whistleblower only because the rules defining a whistleblower were recently changed on his behalf, take priority over the actual transcript of what was said in the phone call? Bizarre.

The issue of impeachment is too important to be left to the people. The holi poli cannot be trusted to comprehend the depths of the complex issues at stake.

That is why we have representatives, to convene and decide and then act on these super complex matters of state. Guilt is of no matter. It is the seriousness of the charge that must control........ Nancy Pelosi in secret conference on October 7, 2019

Impeachment isn’t a criminal proceeding, so the right of Mr. Trump to face his accuser doesn’t apply. 

Really? Doesn't the Constitutional requirement that a President cannot be removed from office except for "high crimes or misdemeanors" move this to the criminal arena?

What if they had an impeachment, and no one noticed? I think that's what they're trying to do. Seriously.. NO ONE in my professional or personal circles is talking about this "Impeachment". I'm old enough to have lived through the two modern era impeachments: Nixon and Clinton. For both of those, that's ALL people talked about, for months. It was huge news. Today? NADA.

I have several liberal friends. Now, granted... after the turmoil of the past two years, we've more or less declared a "truce", and opted to not speak much about politics. But, we've always kept on making little snide remarks now and then. Like, when I slurred my words, I'd say, "Oh... I just pulled a Biden". Or, they'd make a quip about a pumpkin being "as orange as Trump's hair". But now? NOTHING!

I haven't heard the word "impeachment" spoken by ANYONE not on TV or radio. Not one. It's one big nothingburger.

why aren’t they doing more to persuade Americans who don’t already agree with them?

For starters, they have no substance with which to convince anyone. Secondly, they are hoping the willing Leftist activist media will continue lying about their effort and convince the brain dead for them - but it ain't happening. This media and Dem charade only hurts the Dems electoral chances in 2020.

All they have left to salvage is to be able to say, “He was impeached and that means he’s a baaaaad man - even if it was all a sham (we learned that from Dan Rather - even made up crap can be called the truth if you wish it hard enough and click your heels together while chanting “Waaaah! I want him gone!”)
