With Mueller Hopes Gone, So Goes Progressive Unity
Townhall.com ^ | April 4, 2019 | Victor Davis Hanson

The Democratic Party has lots of radical new ideas, and lots of radical presidential candidates and politicos.

But the common hatred of President Donald Trump has united otherwise quite disparate Democratic leaders such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.); former Vice President Joe Biden; Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.); and Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).

These diverse progressive politicians all shared faith in special counsel Robert Mueller and his "dream team." They believed over the last two years that the Mueller investigation was slowly grinding down Trump. T-shirts were sold with the slogan "God Protect Robert Mueller."

The unifying progressive creed assumed that the Mueller's team would eventually find Trump unequivocally guilty of "collusion" with Russia. That buzzword was the non-criminal euphemism for felonious conspiracy to rig an election.

The hunt for collusion would end with the holy grail of Trump's impeachment and removal from office. In 2020 there would be an almost automatic progressive takeover of government.

Periodic leaks from Mueller's team during the investigation's 22 months prompted giddy media anticipation that "the walls were closing in on" Trump. It always seemed that the "noose was tightening" around him, and that yet another "bombshell" was about to go off.

The Dem Party is so heavily invested in “Resist Trump,” “ hate Trump,” and “ Impeach trump ,” that its too late now to create a record on which Dem presidential candidates can seek the nomination .

In other words, the Dems have put all thier eggs in the Mueller basket and fu*ked themselves royally. They have no record to run on.

Thus all the caterwauling.

I love it.

The DNC slaughter fest is just beginning... exposure has always been
the thorn in the side of the demonrats. Now with 20 something candidates running the narrative of
early campaigns... let the exposure and slaughter begin.

Excellent, excellent point!

They are a messy pile of contradictory agendas, each of which is trying to use Alinsky tactics to crawl to the top of the pile.

They’re trying to peddle this myth of “intersectionality” to try and calm things down, but it isn’t working.

The problem with “intersectionality” is that it is inherently sectioned and not a whole, only stuck together by weak political glue, in this case Trump/Russia glue. When that lets go the sections will split into pieces that may work together on some issues but not all. A parliamentary system of government with many parties is becoming more likely as even the Republicans can’t get their act together.

Au Contraire VDH. Watching Leftists eat their own will be quite pretty.

I suggest we all start laying in stores of popcorn now. Doubtless it will be impossible to keep up with demand in November 2020 when Trump wins again after hardcore socialists in the Democrati party have made their candidate swear allegiance to all their insane ideas.

Won’t You Come Home Bob Mueller!

Hilarious takedown of Mueller, complete with Russian hookers and missing uranium.

Our Constitution is particularly ill-suited to that. And frankly this level of gridlock precludes any massive overhaul on that scale.

Constitution? As the Red Queen said, It means what I want it to mean”. For example, “It’s not fine, it’s a tax.”

The united hate-filled progressives had a dream: Mueller was slowly grinding down Trump and would find Trump
unequivocally guilty of "collusion" with Russia, to rig the election against Hillary. It would end happily with Trump's
impeachment and removal from office. 2020 would see a triumphant progressive takeover of government.

Oops......didnt happen exactly as they envisioned it would.

(SNIFFLE) no more "walls closing in on Trump;" no more "nooses tightening around him;" no more "bombshells about to go off." (SOB)

All they got left is creepy Uncle Joe, sniffing his way around The Swamp.
