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 Democrats will destroy this Republic just because they couldn’t steal the election and put their own corrupt candidate in power. Prayers offered up to Almighty God to stop them.

The ones that hate him because he’s Trump (i.e., the GOPe), and the ones that think he’s simply wrong on some very important issues (Jared).

I still maintain that the main reason for the Trump-hatred in the GOPe is that he did not pay his party dues, get in line and wait his turn. Unforgivable by the career politicians. END POLITICAL CAREERS! TERM LIMITS, NOW AND FOREVER!

Don’t forget the other end of the daily double,the media,the democrats could not do it alone,but with the media they will succeed in doing to Trump what they did To George W Bush after 8 years of constant bashing,that’s how we need up with Obama,the only wild card is Trump himself,Bush let himself be trashed without defending himself.
Trump might do himself in by not following through on his promises like settling for this sham of an Obamacare repeal,but the jury is still 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.

I'm grateful as anyone that the 'Rats are losing these recent special elections. But in the general scheme of things, they mean very little. Most Pubbies in DC accept or acquiesce to the Rats' nanny state mentality and knuckle under to many of their demands, as seen in the so-called House Obamacare "repeal." The result will be a sore lack of affordable and reasonable health care insurance policies for many citizens, especially in "blue" states where there won't be any waivers of Obamacare mandates coming from 'rat state governments.

And all because the 'Rats are losing elections now doesn't mean that the trend will continue indefinitely. Pubbies can't play nice against them like too many have done for so long. True grit is necessary to continue to drive the 'Rats leftist ideology out of the corridors of power, and a heck of a lot of work on that still remains.

2016 election by precinct.

Mmmmmm......nice. Pro-lifers can drive from sea to shining sea and
NEVER drive through a precinct that voted for abortion-worshipper Hillary.

I like your comments.

I will say I like it when Republicans respond to the idiotic Leftist rants with truthful information.

We’re the adults in the room, and more and more citizens are recognizing that every day.

“I still maintain that the main reason for the Trump-hatred in the GOPe is that he did not pay his party dues, get in line and wait his turn.”

That is my point about GOPe being against Trump.

But it’s more than that. The GOPe would NEVER support Trump, simply because they cannot own him. The GOPe answers to big-money donors, and Trump simply does not need them. The GOPe would simply find a way to keep Trump from advancing.

Oh well, too bad, Trump didn’t ask for their ‘permission’ to run...and he’s not asking for their help now.

Then you'll have to get off I-70 at The Crossroads of America: Marion County, Indiana - Indianapolis.

And avoid the big college towns: Bloomington, Lafayette and South Bend.

Delayed response, due to FR being down, then away for the weekend for a nephew's wedding. That is why all political donations should be required to be ANONYMOUS. You can't "sell" influence if you don't know who is buying. Americans should be permitted to donate any amount they wish to any candidate or party they choose, that's FREEDOM. But donating in exchange for a desired result is BRIBERY, a CRIMINAL ACT. Prison for donor and donee alike.
