Trump needs supporters to believe impeachment's attempt by radical socialists to take over country
The Chicago Tribune ^ | September 30, 2019 | Dahleen Glanton

It isn’t easy to figure out what Donald Trump is up to sometimes. Why would someone who spent half of his first term fighting allegations of colluding with Russia to win the White House try to collude with another foreign country to be reelected?

The day after special counsel Robert Mueller appeared before Congress to answer questions about his two-year investigation into whether Trump’s presidential campaign conspired with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton, Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to ask him to dig up dirt on a 2020 rival, Joe Biden.

It doesn’t make sense. Unless, of course, it’s part of his campaign strategy.

What better way for Trump to motivate his base than convince supporters that his impeachment is an attempt by Democratic socialists to take over the country? In the process, he might even recruit a few stragglers as well.

It is clear that the majority of the country does not support Trump. They know exactly who he is, and they’re sick of him. But, there’s still that roughly 40% of Americans who have been loyal since day one.

Those are the folks Trump was talking about when he said at a campaign rally in 2016, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose voters."

What a dingbat.

Whenever I read the words of someone who is so utterly illogical and who clearly believes mutually contradictory ideas, my mind hurts. I wonder how such people can function without collapsing into an incoherently babbling heap.

“Trump needs supporters to believe impeachment’s attempt by radical socialists to take over country”

Trump doesn’t need jack. The people who NEED to do the convincing are the ones doing the impeaching. Specifically, they NEED to convince Trump voters that their impeachment of him is due to crimes, not politics.

If they are unable to convince us Trump supporters (i.e., 90% of the Republican Party) of the above, then Trump will NOT be convicted in the Senate, as voting to remove Trump is political suicide for Republicans*, until and unless Trump’s people are on board with his removal...and nothing, NOTHING AT ALL, is pointing that way.

Bottom line - Trump is perfectly safe.

*Not just Senate Republicans either, but Republicans at every level, as millions of conservatives just won’t vote at all if Trump is removed unjustly

I expected this drivel from the left wing nuts. Problem is, the rift is to great and nobody is listening to them. I encourage every american to actually read the ‘whistleblower’ account and the ‘actual’ conversation released. When they are willing to do so, they quickly realize that Trump did nothing wrong.

Most of us, who are here on the FR know that the next civil war has already begun. It started when the Democrats weaponized government under Obama, and destroyed the DOJ.

I have said for 3 years, that Trump had to prosecute those responsible, including former POTUS, as quickly as possible or people would quickly lose faith in Federal Government. When people believe that the Fed Gov is completely corrupt, and part of a single political party, it is absolute certainty that bloodshed is coming.

So I say it here, Sessions helped to destroy his own country by his inaction. Barr better get off the bagpipes and start publicly arresting people for sedition, or expect the tree of liberty to be watered. It’s clear that these responsible seditious jokers wont’ stop until they know the system actually works.

Impeach a president you don’t politically like for no crime...

And you think things will go BACK to normal after that?

“It is clear that the majority of the country does not support Trump.”

Huh? Maybe if the breadth of your inquiry extends to Chicago, NYC, LA and Seattle...

Come on out to ‘fly over’ country, weirdo. Things look clearer when you breathe fresh air.

An honest man needs people to believe the truth, and this is some kind of nefarious activity.

The median IQ of a Rat voter is 71. The median IQ of a Trump supporter is 100+. We know exactly what's happening....and why. We know who Saul Alinsky was. We know who Bill Ayers is.We know that there are only 50 states.We know that they speak German in Austria.We know where Obama got the money to pay for those ObamaPhones.We know that you don't send 33,000 e-mails discussing Yoga and weddings.We know why Susan Rice sent that e-mail to herself at 11:45AM on 1/20/17.

And we know why "ANTIFA" punks wear masks when they're planning to criminally assault opponents.

We know the truth when we see it.

Interesting.

Today’s scripture:

“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

John 10:9-10

We know the Evil that is running amok in our society, today.

Bullstalin. Polling shows this is a fat fib.

Let them believe it so they don’t show up at the polls on election day.

There were 40% of the public (all Democrats) who claimed to believe Bill Clinton when he said he never had sex with Monica Lewinsky. They claim that they believed him up to and after he admitted it on national television.

What a crooked writer.

My favorite quote today-

“Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.” - Ronald Reagan

...spent half of his first term...

Seems the leftists are already resigned to the fact of a 2nd term, since they go to the trouble to identify a 1st term...

What better way for Trump to motivate his base than convince supporters that his impeachment is an attempt by Democratic socialists to take over the country?

Indeed, what better way - since that is exactly what is going on. So typical of the leftist, dismiss exactly what they are doing as folly. We know the leftists are trying to take over.

It is clear that the majority of the country does not support Trump.

It is clear the author is making that up.
