Democrats Desperate To Turn Trump Into Nixon
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 5/10/2017 | Staff

Posted on 05/11/2017 3:51:12 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

Comeygate: Democrats, who just weeks ago were screaming for James Comey's scalp, have now reversed themselves after President Trump fired the FBI director. Instead of thanking Trump, Dems are likening him to Richard Nixon, and calling for a "special prosecutor" into the firing.

Can politicized calls for impeachment be far behind?

Watching the Democrats splutter in splenetic rage in recent days has been priceless, a lesson in instantaneous political outrage whipped up not out of legitimate moral indignation but purely for political ends.

Things sure change.

Back in November, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wanted Comey's head after he reopened his investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server and then, just two days before the election, promptly closed it down.

"I do not have confidence in him any longer," Schumer said.

The Nixon scandal was about bugging and spying on political opponents, like Obama truly did on Trump. Russia is just the weak, made up excuse to cover for the real Nixonian spy scandal of the Dems.

I’m not sure he wants out but his not complying with the disclosure rules will cause him to either spill the beans he is trying to hide or be quietly shown the door.

All the democrats are securing is a an opposition so opposed to them that they may never know another moment of peace or happiness ever again within the USA.

I keep hearing the MSM saying "not since Nixon," as if Bill Clinton firing William Sessions never happened.

In his inflated role as a close political advisor and deal maker Kushner is a liability
He needs to revert back into running business and marketing the brand
And the politically naive and liberal ivanka needs to get into First Lady PR stuff or get out - she is no statesman with views we elected
Plus 2 words
Jamie Gorelick

He is being ridiculed by the left..and some on the right. He is not equipped to handle the swamp. Right now its a vipers nest.

He probably wants to go back to running Real estate.

If this was a lib potus he could have sailed through the job. Not happening with a republican potus.

He will be on the firing line in a lot of Investigations..the latest is selling visas story.

If he is smart..he will get out

Yes, people there's another humiliating political loss for Dumbos. They just lost a-n-o-t-h-e-r race---in Omaha---the race that got caught in the abortion debate. I guess Dumbocrats must be taking Loser Pills. They're on an unprecedented losing kick for a major political party.

Dimmies sure picked a DNC winner in loud-mouthed Perez.
Guy cant win an election to save his soul.

Perez declared abortion-on-demand is Democrats' ticket to victory.

So if that's not working....I guess Perez is looking at infanticide....perhaps mercy killing of the disabled.

============================================

In Kansas couple weeks ago, Repub Estes won by a compelling eight points; then Dumbo Ossoff in GA failed to prevent a runoff...even after every prog/Dumbo and his second cousin from East Overshoe, USA, gave Ossoff some 10 million dollars.

Earlier Democrats lost again b/c they failed to flip Zero Seats in Four Blue State Special Elections.

Those total Democrat humiliations by the Russians occurred right after DNC genius Tom Perez bragged Democrats would show that that "resistance to Trump" could be translated into electoral victories.

To add insult to injury, the Minnesota, Connecticut, Virginia Democrat losses are the states the Russians threw to Hillary in the 2016 presidential election.

Go figure.

Chuck would have more credibility if only Democrats could win a race or two.

Grand leader Hillary would probably be opening up camps by now. What all the talk about Comey yesterday, not once did anyone bring up Comey's past history involving the Clintons and Loretta Lynch.

Nixon was correct in his actions directed at the DNC.

This whole operation is designed to keep our eyes off of what Obama and Hillary did while in office and their aytempt to overthrow our duly elected government

Given that choice, I'll take the one who was a two-term President.

"Far behind"? I think Mad Maxine was bleating about impeachment before he was inaugurated.

There's a positive agenda for you "Fight Back!" DO they Democrats stand for anything anymore? Could they try telling there supporters what it is?

abortion-on-demand is Democrats' ticket to victory

Tell me. Who wants an abortion who cannot get one in today's America? Who?

And since when did abortions and alt-sex toilets become the summum bonum of the American Republic?
