We're all witnesses to an attempted political murder

Never before has the American people been subjected to the obnoxious spectacle of a former president being relentlessly pursued by craven partisans using government (read: taxpayer-funded) resources. One explanation involves Mr. Trump's unique ability to bring out the worst in his enemies. Actually, it may also be caused by a common character weakness among his opponents.

One would need an enormous score card to keep track of all the indictments and other litigations being heaped upon Mr. Trump. He has thus employed an army of attorneys in order to resist the onslaught. Being a billionaire has certainly come in handy for this effort — but a few billion dollars can go only so far. The stubborn continuation of his candidacy for re-election allows him to raise campaign contributions, some of which can be applied to his legal defense — because they are an appropriate campaign expense, much like media advertisements, mailers and travel. The prevailing countermeasure has been for the Deep State thugs to add Trump's lawyers to their target list.

Some historians have pointed out that presidents are often the opposite of their predecessor. Carter followed Nixon, Reagan followed Carter, and Trump followed Obama. And, speaking of Obama, his great strength is also Trump's particular weakness. Limbaugh used to say that Lois Lerner, Obama's IRS hatchet woman who stifled conservative non-profits, didn't need to be told what to do; she was hired because she already knew what she was supposed to do...thus eliminating many possibly embarrassing emails. Trump's entourage, however, was not sufficiently screened for loyalty. Hence, a conspicuous lack of control undermined his (first) administration.

Meanwhile, the Deep State has remained heavily populated with Obama's picks. Along with the "new" Democrat party, they are imbued with the tyrannical dogma that "the people" would be much better served...

Let’s face it, David Axelrod teamed up with Ezra Klein and his “JournOlist”, to get 0bama elected mostly by flooding the airways and print with everything pro-0bama, and saying that “if you don’t vote for 0bama, you’re a racist”. Unfortunately, most people I know fell for that “argument”, and they were also tired of Bushes and they saw McCain as just a continuation of the Bush administration.

If this is true, it’s real dynamite. He says that Pence was engaged in homosexual activity while in congress, that wouldn’t surprise me any.

“And, speaking of Obama, his great strength is also Trump’s particular weakness.”

That’s a silly comparison - Obama had everyone in DC on his side, not because they were loyal to him, but because he was installed to do their bidding.

Trump had everyone in DC against him, not because of poor team-building skills, but because he was elected to exterminate them.
