Democrats' impeachment equation is about to flip

House Democrats’ impeachment equation of maximum control and minimum risk is reversing. Now that Democrats have begun what they had only been pretending - real impeachment - their control will decrease, and their risk will increase.

**SNIP**

Now that Democrats have decided to pursue impeachment, things will change quickly. Voting on articles of impeachment will magnify their risks further. Will these be stringent enough for the extremists? Will they be too stringent for the moderates? In either case, their vulnerables again will have to vote and forever be on record that they believe the president should be removed.

From there their risks will increase greatly. So long as impeachment stays in the House, Democrats stay in control; once it leaves, they stray into trouble. In the Senate, the control passes to the Republicans - and the risk passes to the Democrats.

In the Senate, there will be real debate for the first time, and one with real rules. Republicans will go from few rights to equal ones. For the first time, Democrats will be in a ring where their opponent can punch back.

The Mueller Russia nonsense was to cover up Cankle's crimes and blame it on Trump. Schiff's secret basement inquisition is to cover up Gropin' Joe's crimes and blame it on Trump. Democratics up for reelection have to vote on this garbage before hitting the campaign trail. It could get a bit nasty for them.

Speaking of crimes, anyone heard from Bill Barr lately?

There are NO Dem Moderates.

And the Media is there to cover for them all the way.

A different political world. Smearing and lying is normal.

Vote on what? Seems to be bogus charges made up by offended Libs. Their recent vote introduces no risk. No one else can ask questions that might show President Trump in a better light.

Except there will be one constant that will not flip.

The corrupt MSM will continue to be the Democrat’s bullhorn and they will continue to suppress the truth and everything Republicans in the Senate say. Alternatively, the corrupt MSM will frame everything Democrats say as unflinching truth whereas everything the Republicans say will framed as craven partisan defensive statements.

So will Republicans like Gardner and Collins in the Senate once the House impeaches POTUS. No doubt the Dems are happy to trade a few House seats for control of the Senate.

Not a peep, not even rumors of a grand jury or interviews. Nor have we seen a IG review of the fisa warrants from 4 years ago. That was all a ruse to pacify us until they can convince enough voters to want Trump removed. barr and durham are just stalling.

The only thing the GOP Senate has done is moan about process in the House. The media has reported that.

I believe the report is now being delayed until the House schedules an impeachment vote. Trump will want that dropped then since it’s now clear he will get exactly zero support from the GOP Senate.

[Rennes Templar]

Yup!

I kinda prefer we don’t see him holding Pressers twice a week to tease with tidbits and then answer all questions with “I can’t comment on an ongoing investigation”

[FreeReign]

Republicans will go from few rights to equal ones.

Go further than that. Stick the Dems with "few rights".

Turnaround is fair play.

I don't think Trump has anything to do with it. barr is mcconnell's man, he is the only one mcconnell would approve for a reason.

Google and Youtube have begun explicit political censorship. Any video mentioning the name of the Chrlie gets deleted from youTube and all comments removed since 9Nov19.

If Bill Barr recommended prosecutions, where would that happen?

Schiff is giving Republicans NO WITNESSES, NO LAWYER & NO DUE PROCESS! It is a totally one sided Witch Hunt. This can’t be making the Democrats look good. Such a farce! 876 replies 1,295 retweets 3,743 likes

Best question of the day.

If anyone replies they spotted Barr with his arm around Jeff Sessions' shoulders enjoying a laugh together after the 18th hole----you won't need a microphone and speaker system to hear my SCREAMING! Coast to coast.

Huh? How is this clear?
