Nichols: Trump's got a great economy & he's the incumbent -- But he's making it easy for Dems to win
Fox News ^ | May 10, 2019 | Jason Nichols

With a robust economy, most people would think it would be nearly impossible to defeat an incumbent president – and it should be under normal circumstances. But circumstances we are living under today are unfortunately far from normal.

President Trump – whose frequently criticized conduct and lies have become part of our daily lives – and his administration are giving Democrats a gift like we’ve never seen. That gift is something that was lacking during the 2016 election cycle, when Hillary Clinton got over 3 million more votes than Trump but lost the election as a result of his victory in the Electoral College.

The Trump team has gifted the Democratic Party a unifying message of restoring integrity to public office and law and order, even for those at the top. No one – even President Trump – is above the law, even though the president doesn’t seem to understand that.

The concept of corrupt machine politics, with high-level officials who act like crime bosses, was once something that was believed to be a characteristic of local Democrats in major cities.

However, the Trump administrations has all of the trappings of the “Godfather” novel and films, including high-powered attorneys who disrupt investigations, cronies who are willing to fall on the sword for the boss, and children who are entrenched in the family business.

Criminal behavior and politics have always gone hand in hand. From Al Capone to Pablo Escobar, some criminals have gravitated toward politics and some politicians have gravitated toward crime.

"...poor Jason, he has Trump Derangement Syndrome (aka TDS).."

-----------

Indeed. He needs treatment but will likely refuse care. Ebola has nothing on TDS in the Bos-Wash belt.

Disgraceful that Fox would print something from this author.

Argument by half-truth is sophistry.

The author alleges that the president withholds documents when he has waived executive privilege and presented Muller with 1.4 million documents.

The author contends that the president withholds testimony when the fact is that Attorney General Barr is quite willing to testify, the issue has nothing to do with his testimony but everything to do with who will interrogate.

In line after line the author lies to us with half truths. Perhaps he was the author of the application for the FISA warrants.

He’s making it easy by not conducting aggressive Federal prosecutions of vote fraud by corrupt state election officials, perhaps. But not because of the reasons the author states.

I believe PDJT is waiting for the perfect opportunity to spring the declassification trap.

I wonder if the author (what a maroon!) knows that his screed would be so much more true if he replaced “Trump” with “Obama”....

Trump – whose frequently criticized conduct

Leftists like you don't "critizice" the president. You slander him.

and lies

By, among other things, falsely accusing him of lying.
