The Impeachment Needle May Soon Move (Peggy Noonan)
Peggy Noonan Wall Street Journal column ^ | Oct 19 2019 | Peggy Noonan

Posted on 10/18/2019 10:24:49 AM PDT by rintintin

Things are more fluid than they seem. That’s my impression of Washington right now. There’s something quiet going on, a mood shift.

Impeachment of course will happen. The House will support whatever charges are ultimately introduced because most Democrats think the president is not fully sane and at least somewhat criminal. Also they’re Democrats and he’s a Republican. The charges will involve some level of foreign-policy malfeasance.

The ultimate outcome depends on the Senate. It takes 67 votes to convict. Republicans control the Senate 53-47, and it is unlikely 20 of them will agree to remove a president of their own party. An acquittal is likely but not fated, because we live in the age of the unexpected

“President Trump is far from safe in the Senate. The GOP’s disdain and hatred for its voters is the most powerful force in American politics”

I believe Rommney 100% when he said there are 35 Republicans in the Senate who would vote for impeachment. They support Trump out in the open but despise him behind his back

I believe that it is probable that this Impeachment/Witch Hunt/Kangaroo Court BS is going to fizzle and won’t even get to the Senate. The Rats do not want Discovery.

The rats never intended to impeach. If that’s what they intended to do, we’d be having an impeachment. There will be no impeachment vote before the 2020 elections.

Hell yes they are enraged! He[President Trump] just hit them in the pocketbook and hit them hard. He has wreaked havoc on the kickbacks they have been getting from the defense contractors. Check that are written in the blood of yours and mine’s children while their loved ones are raking in the cash safely somewhere out of harm’s way. They are mad as a wet sitting hen at him.

And as far as the Senate goes, I have always said that when it comes time to vote, they will be no problem in getting enough Republicans to vote to remove him from Office.

That brings up what next? The politicians hate the people who voted to elect President in the first place over their cohort Hillary more than they hate President Trump. They are frothing at the mouth to punish them so expect no mercy from them.

Peggy has her finger on the pulse of Washington.

129 House Republicans spat in Trump's face by supporting Pelosi's Syria resolution.

Eisenhower warned us of the dangers of the Military Industrial Complex, which is now 100 times stronger than in 1960.

Don't just pray for Trump. Call your Senator. NOW. Do it again an hour later. Get on their social media and ATTACK. They read those comments, believe me. We The People need to stand up...NOW!

>>>Don’t post Peggy Noonan columns here.

Why? So we can fall victim to group-think and not know what the enemy is doing? Because geez - that's not a problem at all here at FR.

Magenta America(red and purple) I would say is about 10 points against Impeachment, and that's where all these Senators come from.

Watch the Republican elite go all in for Romney.

It’s started (Edward Luce, of the Financial Times “Swamp Notes”):
“Placing America’s Hopes in Mitt Romney...his Senate speech on Thursday...was magnificently clear...Let us hope his righteous anger holds.”

The only thing fluid is Peggy’s vodka fluid.

Peggy “High” Noon And... guess what? She is wrong that the outlaws win because the town’s people do care and Trump is a great sheriff. She has a hard time as any democrat facing reality.

I have known a number of Mormons. They were all decent people. In my opinion, Mitt Romney gives Mormons a bad name.

If it was a secret ballot Trump would be toast bank it. Pence is barely acceptable to these Bushies. That said, removing a President from your own party less than a year from the election? It just seems so unlikely.

I remember that Peggy Noonan went ga-ga over Arnold Shitzenneger when that ass was running for governor in California. Her ideal Republican would be a mutt that is half Romney and half Shitzenneger.

Another POS anti-trumper, Bush lover.

I’m sick of these people.

Go ahead try to impeach and convict him. Try it.

This man thrives on this sort of thing.

So this naïve person thinks Trump and his attorney’s are going to sit back and passively take it?

Let them try.
