An Impeachment Trial Would Take Away Trump's Control Of The News Cycle
Bussfeed ^ | 7-24-2019 | Ed Schmeltzer

If Donald Trump has to be acquitted, much better for it to come at the hands of a group of people as corrupted and partisan as the Senate Republicans.

Robert Mueller remained tight-lipped and cautious during his much-hyped testimony Wednesday morning. But the hearing highlighted two things: First, there is a real opportunity for a televised trial of President Donald Trump's behavior; and second, such a trial, if it harnessed all the theatrics and color that Democrats can muster, could seize control of the news cycle from the man who has dominated it for years.

It has been a tough few weeks for House Democrats committed to their strategy of holding Trump accountable via the justice system rather than the impeachment process.

NOTHING matters to these people but the narrative. NOTHING....

NO matter how many times they have to beat the dead horse, they will continue to do so until given a new narrative to whip by David Brock/MediaMatters

It’s GREAT though because the more they push or pull this VERY HEAVY DEAD HORSE, the higher Trump’s numbers go.

But we have to focus on more than just the winning part.

WHAT is going to be done in those last 4 years is Hugh And Series also.

Cause after Trump, possibly, le deluge. Don’t know if I got that right :)

We need a FINISHED WALL, some resemblance of a remotely CLOSE to sane budget and some other things :)

I only say this because ALL I CARED ABOUT in 2004 was that jerkoff being reelected.

I forgot to open my eyes and look at what he was really doing.

We have to finish the hostile takeover of the GOP that Trump started by replacing the Bush League Republicans who want to give amnesty to illegal aliens and the Democrats a permanent majority.

For that, I think, we would need Rs that think like Trump and appeal to a broader audience.

AND somehow manage to beat incumbents in primaries in which they have SO MANY advantages.

Someone needs to get a ground game going.

Cause the usual Ds who voted for Trump are NOT gonna vote for your average R.

All they really have to do is side with the citizens and the rule of law.

Worked for Trump because no one else was occupying that ground and the voters really do want to keep the rule of law and their country.

Impeaching Trump and putting him on Senate trial would be the lit match that starts the second Civil War. The Squad is too stupid to realize this, and to realize that it would be the end of the American Republic and the beginning of martial law, but San Fran Nan can see the handwriting on the wall: she will throw the base meat scraps on occasion, but it will never go further.

“Eric Schmeltzer is a political and communications consultant in New York City . From 1999 to 2003, he was Press Secretary to New York City Congressman Jerrold Nadler.”

Any questions about this Capo Commie?

Rs are AFRAID to stress conservative core beliefs

Until that changes on a Hugh and Series scale, we will have the same old.

I am up for whatever ideas anyone has on how an individual can help, besides voting

What’s really unforgivable to the Uniparty is that he sides with the citizens and the rule of law.
We weren’t supposed to be able to elect anyone who would stop the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
They GOP had us in a box endlessly voting for their amnesty candidates.
