The Trump years have been rough on Democrats sensibilities, and their thinking has become increasingly addled as a result. The party has worked tirelessly to create an issue worthy of impeaching the presidentRussia collusion, obstruction of justice, Stormy Daniels, tax returns. This week Democrats jettisoned all that in favor of the only issue that implicates their own front-runner for the nomination. Genius.
The one person who has been as much in the news this week as Donald Trump is former Vice President Joe Biden. Its a dubious accomplishment. The only way to discuss Mr. Trumps nonsmoking-gun phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is to acknowledge the subject of the ruckus: Mr. Bidens glaring conflicts of interest during his vice presidency vis-à-vis his son Hunters business interests. Since Democrats insist on making this all about Ukraine, get ready for daily new revelations about the young Mr. Bidens questionable activities and Quid Pro Joes involvement.

This is why the former vice presidents promises that this scandal will fade are nonsense. True, the media is doing double-duty on his behalf. Its general line is that Mr. Bidens conflicts are fine; asking about them is corrupt. We are seeing a lot of stories about how Democrats are determined not to let Republicans Hillary Mr. Bidena historical rewrite that places the blame for Mrs. Clintons notorious ethical travails on her rivals. The fact checkers are out in force with soothing assurances that theres no evidence any Biden broke the law.
The problem for Joe Biden is that outright criminality is not necessary for these stories to stink. The appearance of conflict of interest is bad enough, and there is plenty of it. Mr. Biden knew his son worked for Burisma Holdings, and knew the company faced scrutiny.
Snort, guffaw...
An ad showing the tape of Biden bragging how he got that Ukrainian prosecutor fired would be priceless and devastating.
Kim Strassel is a national treasure.
It’s all about taking out Biden. It probably ends up being a net zero for Trump; it might even motivate his base a bit. The Left could have just let Biden implode, but they don’t see Biden the way we see Biden.
“How could Mr. Biden broach Ukraine on a debate stage, knowing Mr. Trump would take that subject and pound away?
The same way Hillary did. This isn’t going to take out Dirty Joe.
Still no comments across the spectrum regarding the ‘crowdstrike’ subject brought up in the allegedly treasonous phone conversation.

Trump needs more than his base to win. If the country club corportist wing oF the GOP sits out 2020 he will lose.
Thus the reason why Warren and Obama are silent on it.
“Trump needs more than his base to win. If the country club corportist wing oF the GOP sits out 2020 he will lose.”
I guarantee they care more about their bottom line than social justice issues they pretend to care about. They won’t sit out. Warren and Sanders have them worried.
For the most part, people have not started talking about Hunter's deal with China. The Democrats can try to pass off Ukraine as Trump working against Biden, but when China becomes a topic I think it's a lot harder to say Trump is the bad guy.
Joe Sixpack understands exactly what $50,000 a month for a no show job is. They can put all the lipstick on it they want to.
Is there going to be any election in 2020 that a single American will concede they lost? The Acting DNI said as much yesterday.
“Quid Pro Joe”
I invented that yesterday! Seriously, go Google.
Glad it’s spreading.

Duly noted. The silence is deafening.
This week genius Democrats jettisoned all that in favor of the only issue that
implicates Joe Biden....their own front-runner...... and threatens Biden's nomination.
This Crowdstrike thing seems like an elephant in the room. Trump must know they have the DNC server image that would reveal everything which possibly includes the real evidence on the DNC email transfer.
Would it be a big deal if Seth Rich copied certain files just before his murder? I think so.
Partners in crime.......from the Clinton Crime Family Playbook.
and crowdstrike received a big payment from the DNC a day or 2 later? I think so.
I’ve given some thought as to whether Deep State would prefer a Trump victory in 2020. Certainly they war-game the idea. The social unrest that they could unleash would be incredible. If SCOTUS gets lopsided, pack the Court at a later date.
