Even before Donald Trump won the 2016 general election, Democrats were floating the notion of Russia Russia Russia, showing they would not be willing to except the outcome of the election if he won, which, of course, everyone thought he wouldn’t. Be, he did, so they ramped up the Russia collusion stuff, because they aren’t able to accept election results when they lose. They always have to have some excuse. They’ve kept this going, throwing in obstruction, because that’s all they have. No matter what some Lefties are saying in the media and within the ranks of the Democratic Party, the Mueller hearing was a disaster for them. So…
Democrats now have one option to end Trump’s presidency: The 2020 election
Many Democrats long have considered Robert S. Mueller III a potential savior, as the agent of President Trump’s eventual undoing. Wednesday’s hearings on Capitol Hill probably shattered those illusions once and for all. If Democrats hope to end the Trump presidency, they will have to do so by defeating him at the ballot box in November 2020.
In reality, that has been the case for months. Still, scheduled testimony by the former special counsel before two House committees offered the possibility that he would say something that would suddenly change public perceptions and dramatically jump-start long-stalled prospects for an impeachment inquiry. That was certainly the Democrats’ goal. If anything, things could move in the opposite direction.
Regardless of the evidence of obstruction contained in Mueller’s report, impeachment is a fraught strategy for the Democrats, given public opinion and the dynamics in the Senate. After Wednesday, the prospects for impeachment appear more remote, which means it will be left to the eventual Democratic presidential nominee, with the help of the party, to develop a comprehensive case against the president, one that can win 270 electoral votes. To date, that hasn’t happened.
Democrats won’t give up on Russia Russia Russia, of course. Too many have invested too much. Even after seeing the vote go way against them in the House, they won’t stop. Nancy Pelosi may continue to attempt to tamp down the impeachment talk, but, the nutters will continue their push. Eric Swalwell and Jerry Nadler will continue their idiocy, along with AOC, Ilhan Omar, and the rest of The Squad. Don’t be surprised if Democrats now attempt to call other people involved in the Mueller inquiry to testify in an attempt to find something, anything, to hurt Trump. Many Democrats, such as Excitable Ted Lieu, certainly came away with the wrong impression, and won’t quit.
Most would be smart to move on. It would have been wise to move on once the big nothingburger of the Mueller report was released. They can’t, and they won’t. And, the fact that they won’t will make it that much easier for Trump to win in 2020, especially with what the Democrat candidates for president are pushing.
