Democrats in Congress are making themselves a laughingstock with yet another silly impeachment attempt. But it sets a terrible precedent that you use the impeachment process to go after your political opponent — a lesson not lost on the Republicans. Pity any president in the future whose opposition party controls both houses of Congress. When and if that happens, this politics by impeachment will come home to roost, and it may well be a Democrat who walks the plank.
That the Dems are pushing for another impeachment exercise after the Russia-collusion fiasco just shows how bankrupt they really are.
The Chinese are not going to be in any hurry to make concessions when next year is a presidential election year. Trump could just go away would be their thinking. But if Trump wins reelection, they would cave. So it will be interesting to see if China tries to meddle in our election, for they have a lot to lose if Trump wins.
A lot of the anti-Trumpers are just unwilling to admit they were wrong about him.
I can think of few presidents who are less racist than Donald Trump. That smear is so unjustified. But the race card is what the Dems always resort to, even when it is inappropriate. The smear tells you more about the Dems than the person smeared.
The Democratic Party is becoming FUBAR in response to everything Trump. If he were to say the sky is blue, they would deny/dispute it. Leads them into truly ridiculous positions. Not going to be hard for Trump to paint the Dems as anti-American.
Pro-America Trump.
I made a campaign contribution to the Trump campaign. Wasn’t much money but it was a first for me — I’ve never contributed any money before to any politician. Never.
I like some of Trump’s policies but not all of them, but I’m definitely frightened by what I see among the Democrats — no borders, soft on crime, free everything, socialism, anti-free speech. The next time we elect a Democrat as president will be perilous for the country, for Democrats have turned into ideologues with no common sense.
2020 is going to be an intense year in the US. If you think 2016 was raucous, you haven’t seen anything yet. I wonder if the intensity is going to cause violence and perhaps even assassination attempts by people who have been driven over the edge. Wouldn’t surprise me at all.
But first the Democratic candidates will tear into each other.
Where the Republicans and Trump fall down — they are climate change deniers which is kind of silly at this point; a tax cut for the very wealthy was unwise given the enormous size of the national debt, not to mention that the really rich have gotten a lot richer recently; most of the country wants reasonable constraints on owning military type weapons as well as uniform background checks; they really haven’t come up with a realistic alternative to Obamacare; they are spending enormous amounts on the military — is it too much?; and where is the national infrastructure program that everyone knows the country needs?
Trump is just cleaning up all the messes either created by past presidents or ignored by them — nuclear North Korea, giant trade imbalance with China, insane trade agreements generally, open borders and immigration chaos, low economic growth rate, exporting of jobs abroad, reduction in American manufacturing, bogus nuclear agreement with sworn enemy Iran, lack of consistent support for Israel (the one real democracy in the Middle East), left-wing politicos as judges on Federal courts, poorly defined relationship with NATO where we get to pick up the tab.
You name it, he is dealing with it — not ignoring it. And what does he get from the Left for his troubles — outrageous slanders and ridiculous accusations. That’s American politics in a nutshell.
What the Left really cannot stand about Trump is that he is effective.
