Investigative avalanche: Are House Democrats overplaying their hand?
Fox ^ | 03-07-19 | Howard Kurtz

Posted on 03/07/2019 4:24:01 AM PST by Steve1999

Now that Hillary’s not getting in the race—she was never running, despite hints from her keep-hope-alive surrogates—the spotlight has fallen squarely on the House Democrats. And at the moment they’re defining themselves as the party of investigation. They have other problems, to be sure, from allowing their most left-wing members to give them a socialist image to struggling with a resolution condemning anti-Semitism after slurs by one of their freshmen.

They are making a spectacle of themselves.

When there are no consequences for behaving in this manner, Rats will do whatever they can to take the reins of power.

The conduct of Liberals right now will always and ONLY occur when you have a media which cannot/will not ‘report’ without bias. It’s that simple

Does anyone actually think that Donald Trump and all Conservatives are thoroughgoing criminals and that ALL Liberals are SO squeaky clean that they are in a position to conduct themselves like this but Liberals think they can assail the President with incessant lies and challenges to his legitimate administration?

Can anyone honestly dispute that the MSM not only fails to report on Liberal activities but will not EVEN properly investigate Liberal ‘misconduct’?

What we have now is the worst possible kind of wholesale, political theatre... which is funded, encouraged, programmed and stage-managed by unelected, known, publicly avowed anti-American thugs who themselves, have NO constituents and answer to NO ONE.

Their agenda is wholly unimpeded by ANY laws, oversight, ethics, precedent or protocol. Could this even begin much less continue with a professional and honest MSM, truly meeting their challenge to work in the public interest?

Except for incessant, inflammatory rhetoric and irresponsible, groundless loudmouth accusations, what do the President’s opponents actually HAVE as a possible challenge to him and his administration?

NOTHING, or else this could never have begun, much less continued to this point!

Don’t forget... this whole circus assures Liberals 24/7 media attention whether or not their BS is factual, supportable or even defensible. No private citizen on earth would be made to sit still for this kind of ‘kangaroo court’ nonsense!

I remember years of Republican House investigations and hearings during the speakerships of Boehner and Ryan. Eric Holder, Obama’s Attorney General, was even voted in contempt of Congress. Issa, Gowdy, Nunes, and others hauled Obama administration officials, including Hillary, before committees for questioning.

What was the net result of these efforts by the Republican House of Representatives?

spectacle is right.

It’s a show.

Mueller-Russia appears to be losing hope, and the hard left savages need red meat, or they will go into hate hibernation before the next election. We can’t have rabid haters losing hope. Dems need to look like they are holding the trump crusade banner high on the pike that their comedians will put his head on.

If they were driving off their core constituency and the mainstream members of their party, I would say yes they are overplaying their hand. They’re not doing that. Democrat voters are not offended, they are not leaving the plantation. So based on that I would say they are not overplaying their hand. I’m of the opinion that they are doing just what the majority of the members of the Democrat Party want done. They are deranged and they are applauding this avalanche of deranged investigations.

Thing is, the Democrat party can't get a single soul elected most places in the US. They need unaffiliated voters, too. The balancing act they need to play is one of placating their base while not turning off the middle.

True but the squishy republicans who didn’t vote for their party in 2018 will be voting gop in 2020

Correct. They are not overplaying their hand because they own the deck, the table and the whole chain of casinos - courtesy of the media.

".... Are House Democrats overplaying their hand? Don't they always?..."

Who's going to stop them? Not their own party. Not even the Republicans will lift a hand to stop this obvious personal vendetta against Trump and his family and associates.

Just like a delinquent child who gets their hand slapped once in a while but who never really gets punished for their bad behavior, the democRATS will keep getting bolder and bolder with their attacks.

There is no pretense anymore. Their agenda is to remove Trump from office by any means necessary.

And if there is no one to stop them, their petty behavior will continue at the country's peril.

There, fixed your sentence...

The one variable that keeps getting left out of discussions like this is rampant vote fraud. Nothing is being done to stop it. It gets worse every election. It was disastrous in 2018, probably at least half a dozen seats in the House were lost by vote fraud. It will be much worse in 2020.

Vote fraud in much of the United States has reached third world Banana Republic levels.

Yes but they have no choice. Their radical base, fueled by Tom Steyer’s money, will disembowel them if they do otherwise.

Are democrats overplaying their hand? Of course. It’s all they know.

Hillary...I’ll believe Hillary is not running 6 months after I see them bury her sorry ass.

I think she’s planning to let everybody else battle it out then step in late in the game to “save the day”...She’ll never stop running for prez though...
