It already has. The Establishment Media’s reputation is now in tatters and will take many years—if ever!—to recover.

Dream on. The Collusion myth fueled Democratic anger, and having been denied a frog-march of Trump out of the White House, they will be even more motivated to get out and vote in 2020.

Trump will still get re-elected, but it isn't going to be the landslide that everyone is predicting.

Unless, that is, the Democrats go and do something stupid like electing Bernie as their candidate.

The author makes a good point of noting that at least some among the MSM will be loathe to carry water for the Dems in 2020.

They have mass vote fraud to fall back on.

It’s going to be fun to hear PDJT go to town with this whole mess as the 2020 campaign heats up.

Be warned though: the MSM-Democrats are absolutely desperate at this point. They will stop at nothing, including photoshopped imagery and synthetic video, to create confusion in the minds of Trump supporters.

Be ready for them to take things to a new level.

On the flip side, some in the Trump organization may know how to make use of the MSM-Democrat panic to get ahead of this.

. That should force them to confront some unpleasant truths about what has happened to their party


Dear Ed,

As Clarence Darrow told the Monkey Trail judge who hoped Darrow wasn’t insulting the court, “His Honor is entitled to hope.”

If you’re so naive to think the Democrats will recoil from any anti-Trump behavior, you’re an enabler and part of the problem.

Regards,
A Realist

I have this political gimmick that I think Trump should do.

Hire up four comedians to dress as KGB guys, secret agents, Russian generals, etc, and put them a Russian 1980s Limo to show up around the nation and talk about their super-secret collusion plan.

But this time, hint that various late-night TV comedians are secretly behind it, along with Hollywood elite, and everyone is working on some Bullwinkel-type plan to topple Trump.

Everyone in the nation will have a good laugh, and just start making a joke out of TV comedians, Bernie, and the DNC.

I think it really was Divine Intervention.

It’s happened before in American history.

What will destroy the Democrats in 2020 is the fact that their nominee is very likely to be an anti-American, racially threatening, barking deranged moonbat.

The other Russian intervention — hacking the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign manager John Podesta —
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That was Seth Rich.
He was killed for it.
That’s what Russia, Russia, Russia covered up.

"They have mass vote fraud to fall back on."

Yes, and partially enabled by millions of illegal invaders. If we don't secure the southern border, that will be the death of all of us.

How could an uncouth loudmouth like Trump defeat a polished professional like Clinton?

"Polished professional?" Seriously???? The only things Hillary is polished at are shakedown methods and organized crime tactics. Few politicians lose votes like she does when she makes public appearances. . . political skills are about as polished as a lump of coal and she conducts herself more like an 800 pound gorilla. And Trump is the one that is uncouth?????

and an agenda that cut against the historic march of his own party.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That’s true, the Bush League Republicans nearly have US turned into North Mexico.

Maybe conservatives should start operation chaos and make sure they get Bernie, like they did when we got mcstain.
