“Trump is winning in his battle to drain the swamp.Thats why Schiff and Pelosi are fast tracking presidential impeachment, he is too effective at draining the swamp. President Trump is succeeding.”
I agree.
The swamp analogy fails to capture an important aspect of the sewer that is Washington DC. If it were a swamp, the putrid waters would recede and dry up as they drained away harmlessly.
That is far from the reality. DC is more like a vast overfilled levy system brimming with toxic waste and fecal matter. It won’t drain away harmlessly because there is nowhere for it to go. Instead it will burst, unleashing a terrifying tsunami of sewage that will destroy everything in its path.
Successful draining of the swamp will not come cheap. Things will get worse before they get better. There will be collateral damage and this too will be blamed on the President.
I think this is what we are seeing right now. It appears that nothing is being done, but that is just an appearance.
Think of a major open heart surgery. Those unfamiliar with the procedure might look at the exposed chest cavity and have a hard time believing this was progress - it looks far worse than before the surgery began.
We need to manage our expectations. The swamp was never going to just “drain” without a fight.
But one very encouraging part of all of this is the fact that the corrupt “swamp creatures” are now focused entirely on their own survival and on destroying President Trump. That means the President has already interrupted a decades-long parasitic feeding frenzy and forced them to shift their attention toward covering their tracks, toward futile impeachment hearings, toward witch hunts - and away from sucking the life out of the Republic.
President Trump is working a number of longer term strategies - I’m sure separating them from their “food sources” is one of them. Another year or two and we may find there was a lot more “draining” going on than we thought.
Great post with a deeper look at what is happening. I agree completely.
Excellent post.
Thank you for your comments.
One small point, heart surgery is not a good analogy. The patient is not lying passively, asleep on the table. The patient is attacking you and trying to kill you.
