President Trump should want a rapid impeachment process. The Ukraine story hasnt been good for him, and there is only one way out to get impeached, and the sooner, the better.
Impeachment is baked in the cake. There is no way that Democrats, having opened an impeachment inquiry, although without a vote, can pull up short now. How could they, after touting revelation after revelation, including a supposed confession by Trumps chief of staff?
If there are Democrats in swing districts holding back the House from impeachment, Speaker Nancy Pelosi will have no option but to twist their arms to get to a majority when the time comes.
Trump should want it to come as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, if support for impeachment is about 50% or a little higher, there is every reason for Democrats to stretch it out. The current process suits their purposes nicely. They interview officials in private and then leak the most damaging parts. Theres no danger of public hearings bouncing the wrong way because there are no public hearings at all.
But he should be secretly rooting for the rapid arrival of Impeachment Day.
It will be one of the biggest stories of the Trump presidency. Then, like everything else, it will grow old very fast. Impeachment wont be forgotten, but it will fade into part of the tapestry of endless Trump controversies

President Trump couldn't ask for a better campaign publicity stunt than this, especially if his own legal staff can cross-examine these people directly.
‘We might actually see Trump win 45 states’
people keep saying that on here; what are the 15 states in addition to the 30 he won in 2020 he needs to win to get to 45...?
He should be calling for Linda to hold Public Hearings and Subpoena Every Witness pencil neck called. But Linda was involved from the beginning so he won’t.
California might even be in play if large swaths of the state are dark for days at a time and President Trump holds a rally there with a miner's helmet on ... "Make California Light Again!" :-P
Hmmm, hold a vote? No, I like watching the Dems twist in the wind, figuratively if not actually....
In fact, I suspect their "testimony" has been a lot of inconsequential crap that is nothing more than the normal day-to-day dealings of an ambassador and State Department staff.
Any Rhinos who vote for impeachment will be voted out of office. Goes for Dems too.
Can Nancy have impeachment pass in the House by a voice vote? That way vulnerable Democrats can’t be identified as having voted for it.
Lousy Lowry... Another “conservative” suffering from cranial - rectal insertion!
There was an impeachment vote in July. Failed ~339-95.
Me too. The impeachment is distracting the DEMs and press more than it is Trump. Let em fling poo inn their sandbox. It is pretty much what Congress and Washington DC have become, a complete farce.
If you’re relying on the Repuke Senate you will be disappeared
William F. Buckley must be spinning in his grave. Rich Lowry has swallowed every Democratic talking point and the phony polls, as well as the Democrat logic. Nothing Trump did is remotely impeachable.What a tool!
That’s a valid point. But relying on them in 2020 is no different than relying on them in 2019 as this guy suggests.

How?
For the love of God, just arrest them already.
“people keep saying that on here; what are the 15 states in addition to the 30 he won in 2020 he needs to win to get to 45...?”
This assumption doesn’t play like it played in 1984. Trump needs to play like he will lose Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsy. What states will he need to pick up in order to get to 270 if he loses these three states. We have to keep in mind, Hillary was a no-show in 2016. People were pissed off about it and it showed.
Trump has to assume this will not happen in 2020. If Trump loses those 3 states but picks up Minnesota and a couple of votes from Maine, he wins.
Freepmail me to be on the perpwalk ping list. Currently a low volume ping list.
Written as if it’s not an actual attempt at trial for crimes, just an exercise to keep Trump off balance.
Its Rich Lowery. Goes without saying.
