Chris Wallace: Everyone Is Coming Out Of Impeachment As A Winner
RCP Video ^ | 2-1-2020 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 02/02/2020 6:00:07 AM PST by Sir Napsalot

'FOX News Sunday' host Chris Wallace said Friday The White House wins because President Trump will be acquitted, Democrats win because they will use "cover-up" narrative in 2020 races and John Bolton gets untold free publicity for his book.

"I actually think every side is going to come out a winner in this," Wallace said Thursday. "The Republicans and the White House will be winners because the president will be acquitted and the trial to remove him from office will have failed."

"I think the Democrats, who knew they were never going to get the president removed, will be able to argue, just as Schumer did, from now until November, that this was a cover-up and that all the Republican senators who are up for reelection in 2020 were part of that cover-up."

Wishful thinking is never a good substitute for real political analysts.

The Democrats attempted to remove President Trump and it failed Chris. They did not win anyone new over. How you call that a win win situation is laughable?

Astually, many lifelong "dems" have seen this action for what it really is and are repulsed.

Many are turning their backs.
Either refusing to vote
Or voting for Trump.

Many of these aren't "switching" to Repubs, they're switching to Trump.

Trump has earned the respect from a lot of the moderates and independents.

Mods and Indies who have seen a POTUS savaged, not back down and remain standing.

“”””His book will sell millions because he turned on the President? I wish that was a big fat lie.””””””””””””””

IF his book gets released, which I doubt, and IF he reveals private conversations with the President then he is done.

You will notice that not once has Bolton gone to a microphone and said the leak is true or false.

What do they get out of this “Everybody Wins”?

We get the bill, as usual.

Chris Wallace is the Whirling Dervish of Spin.

No Chrissie, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats have pushed lies about Trump from the get go; they could have spun up more without a shameful fiasco. What they did here was LOSE and show their arses. Losing is not Winning.

I’ll agree that Bolton did well out of it. He’ll sell more books, and Leftists will like him for a few weeks, until they find out he actually has nothing.

There are far more R Senate seats up than D Senate seats up.
The 4 in order of most likely to flip are: AL, MI, CO, AZ.
AL is almost certain to flip.
Look at the dynamics and MI is second most likely to flip.
One factor that few seem to recognize is that Voters have fled places like Flint MI. And it is mostly jobless tribal Democrat voters fled to red states.

The total number of tribal Democrats in MI is smaller. Jobs are a factor, not because they are rhetoric, but because they are reality.

Rather than simply report the news, Chris Wallace worked overtime to develop a spin to make sense of democrat insane actions which have and continue to damage the country.

Bolton is now a man without a country. A Benedict Arnold, trusted by no one.

“But they got the election narrative they wanted.”

Wallass thinks he is being an intelligent political observer who is reporting as he sees them because he (falsely) believes he is on the side of truth. He actually is irresponsible and playing a role in the harming of our public institutions - he instead should be reporting that the demonkraps have no basis in fact to make such a claim (every time it is mentioned on his show) because it really applies to how the House ran its impeachment process. One cannot ask for justice in a matter that they themselves acted with injustice. They even insulted the GOP Senators and Chief Justice in an attempt to publicly “shame” them into acting a certain way - speaking in absolute terms. Wallace gives false legitimacy to their abuse of our government and lies; Wallass treats it as a valid position. Very sad we have people like him in such important positions.

No matter how you look at it the media is a loser.

We the people, are the losers.

It isn't garbage. He nails it with this...
"...the Democrats, who knew they were never going to get the president removed, will be able to argue, just as Schumer did, from now until November, that this was a cover-up and that all the Republican senators who are up for reelection in 2020 were part of that cover-up."
That is the REAL reason they did this and the motive behind that is the federal judiciary. The rraison d'être for the entire impeachment charade was to put the Senate in play or put the Senate in a headlock to stop Trump's federal judiciary nominees from getting confirmed. The rats are scared to death of the young, conservative judges he is appointing who are transforming the federal judiciary across the land. They will tilt the U.S. in the conservative direction for a generation. The left will stop at nothing to prevent that.

Great observation.

... A man without a government job ever again. Who would trust him, not even the demonkraps ... since he is no longer a useful tool to them. Even if he eventually stated that everything that Trump said was true, no one will trust him. Look how fast he fell, lost his public reputation, completely.

Wallace is wrong - Joe Biden was the big loser because the whole impeachment farce drew a lot of unwelcome attention to his and his son’s unethical actions. And if Biden drops, and that ends up handing the nomination to Bernie...then the Dems ultimately will be the biggest losers out of this.

What a toadlicker.

No, the DemoKKKrats lost HUGE in this. HUGE.

1) They can NEVER bring up impeachment again. They innoculated Trump by screwing the pooch. Oh, the House “may” pass something, but next time the Senate will dismiss outright. If THIS one had 45 votes to dismiss, the next will have 52-54.

2) DemoKKKrats looked both evil and incompetent. This isn’t lost on the American public.

3) The vulnerable House DemoKKKrats are in deep crap. We’ll get at least 10 seats JUST from impeachment. Can we make up the rest? Who knows?

4) Trump will be unleashed. The House will have no control over him, and the Senate will be mindful of voters.

The Dims wanted to bring Trump’s favorable numbers down. The opposite happened.

Would this mediocre fool have said the same thing if the Senate had voted to call witnesses or voted to remove President Trump from office?
Hey Wallace, Pelosi lost, Sch*tt lost, Nader lost, Biden lost, the Dems lost. Get over it.
