As the public impeachment circus hearings come to a close, America asks, what in the hell was that all about? – Having worked in the communications field for a long, long time, one of the first things I learned was that if you cannot make your case to the average American in 25 words or less – 50 at the outside – you don’t have a case.
The average American has the attention span of the average house cat. If you aren’t giving them some food or scratching them at just the right spot behind the ears, they’re going to move onto focusing on the next thing that moves. That is why this impeachment circus is going to go down as one of the most epic fails in our nation’s history.
Over the last 8 days, Bug-eyes Schiff has paraded a series of non-witnesses across the nation’s television screens who not only could not make their case in 25 to 50 words, they couldn’t do it in 25 to 50 minutes. By the time people like Bill Taylor or this David what’s-his-name who testified on with Fiona Hill finished their interminable, confusing opening statements, most Americans had either tuned out or committed suicide just to make the bad men stop.
It has been hilarious watching during the breaks as DC Swamp skunks like Chris Wallace have classified a Marie Yovanovitch or a Gordan Sondland as a “compelling witness,” knowing that these insufferable gossips were compelling only to their fellow denizens of the Swamp. No one in the rest of America gave a damn what these people had to say, and that is already starting to show up in the public opinion polls.
Think about it: Everyone in America knew what Watergate was all about. There was a burglary and the President lied and obstructed justice to try to cover it all up. That’s 18 words.
Everyone in America knew what the Clinton impeachment was all about. The President was having sex with a plump intern in the Oval Office and he lied and obstructed justice to try to cover it all up. That’s 26 words. Easy.
In this Ukraine deal, the Democrats have simply failed to make any cogent case describing succinctly what it is all about. Anyone who managed to listen to this parade of offended bureaucrats came away more confused than anything else, and frankly pissed off to see first-hand the sort of petty jealousies and turf-protection activities that appear to dominate in America’s diplomatic corps.
This whole process is a stunning, amazing failure by a Democrat Party armed with the support of 95% of the nation’s corrupt news media. In order for it to succeed, Schiff and his band of circus clowns would have had to move public opinion in favor of impeachment to such an extent that a bunch of Republican members of the house and senate came over to their side. Instead, the first raft of polling data shows they have only succeeded in moving it in the President’s favor.
Republicans, in fact, are so fired up that a group of GOP senators – including Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins and Mitt Romney (!) – got together at the White House with President Trump today and agreed that it would be to their advantage to hold a full-fledged trial in the Senate should the Democrats ultimately approve articles of impeachment.
Rather than try to make this thing go away quickly, the GOP is now ready to prolong it right into the presidential primary season.
These past 8 days are the worst 8 days in the Democrat Party’s history. They will ultimately ensure that Bug-eyes Schiff’s place in U.S. history will be as one of the greatest failures ever to walk the halls of congress. Awesome.
That is all.
The propaganda media knows about the 25 words also so they write a headline and first sentence or two that is very biased against the President. Whether it is true or not is immaterial to them. That is all most Americans will ever see about these hearings.
NO I don’t think they are squarely behind him HOWEVER they would NEVER be the ones going to tell Trump he needs to resign, that would be solely up to McConnell !!! Trump is trying to grease the palms of these two party TRAITORS he can possibly gain some ground with Collins HOWEVER Mittens is a VINDICTIVE, SLIMEY, BACKSTABBING, JEALOUS, POS and if I were Trump I would NOT give Mittens the time of day!!!
Wasn’t there a GROUP of Senators who made that treck up to the Nixon Whitehouse to tell him to skeedaddle? Not just the Senate Majority leader?
I believe there were 2 senators the Majority leader AND the Minority leader, the two of them informed Nixon they had the votes to impeach Nixon chose to resign!!!
I call him Popeye Robespierre.
Bump
What these clowns have done is to render impeachment meaningless. It apparently used to mean something, people cared.
Now, who gives a F.
Next demonrat president, we need to impeach for spitting gum out on the sidewalk
Forget about your local paper. The Wall Street Journal ran a similar headline today.
PFL
“petty jealousies and turf-protection activities”
Really. They were like little kids who had staked out their corners of the sandbox, and if a playmate encroached on their corner, God help us all! (And what does their infighting have to do with Trump?)
Add to that the fact that Trump rained on their parade, upset their apple cart, rocked their pathetic worlds, and I’m out of metaphors. Causing butt-hurt isn’t grounds for impeachment.
. I checked back a little later only to hear the weekly promo for Sunday’s Chuck Todd show . The only person that CT would name for Sunday’s interview is .... of course... Adam Schiff. I wonder if Schiff will have the entire hour. Todd, who must be more informed than the local guy, hedged a bit and did not sound quite as giddy that there is already a slam-dunk against PDJT. Interesting.
