It’s a basic American value that everybody deserves their day in court.
Dems are not going to win this one in the court of public opinion.
Be careful what you wish for. There are far too many spineless GOP members of the Senate.
He will have an 80 percent approval rating if this goes to the senate and they call witnesses and then kill the whole thing.
Though from what I understand, the Ds have to approve of the witness even though they are the minority?
And 80 percent was just kidding.
I believe fully 35 to 40 percent of the country will NEVER back Trump, no matter what.
But I’ll take 60 percent for Trump and be QUITE happy.
People have said for years on this ver site that the Repubs have to grow a spine.
POTUS is showing them what that means, and giving the Dims a lesson on bare knuckle fighting.
Lol !!! That’s my president !!!
Calling it a Brair patch strategy is probably not how trump looks at it. He typically doesn’t just bluff. It’s more like a win-win in his eyes. IE: If we get to the Senate, he can go on the offensive. If we don’t, he survives another coup by default and can use it as campaign material
GHB has a 91!!! percent approval rating after the gulf war.
Amazing to lose that election.
And just like that the dems will quietly never allow the impeachment to go to a vote.
If they let this go to the senate all the liars will be called in to testify and then sent to the DOJ for perjury charges.
An impeachment is exactly what Orange Man Bad wants! It would be so un-woke to do what he asks.
Kicking ass and definitely taking names.
So Graham is going to investigate the Bidens and all the Republicans in the Senate are then going to be impeached??
did you notice yesterday when Schiff was closing the “impeachment hearing” he was almost in tears? If he had kept talking for another 10 seconds he would have been bawling like a baby. I don’t doubt, even though the hearings produced nothing, that the dems will vote to impeach and let it go to the senate where they will be humiliated to no end. If they called Schiff as a witness he would be blubbering within a few minutes.
Darn, I can’t find yesterday’s article but it seemed to say there is some power Nadler has over allowing or disallowing witnesses, testimony and transcripts to be used in the Senate during the referral resulting in a Senate trial.
Can that be true?
Now I want to know more than ever.
Experts on FR, please help. Thanks.
Did I hear last night that the house may actually have some articles to bring forward in a month to vote on in this impedebacle? Guess the senatorial contestants for the next (s)elections are gonna be tied up in the trial and NOT on the campaign trail then? Awwwwwwwwww
Checkmate
IF it does go to a trial in the Senate you can bet it will NOT be televised and that the press will report it every day as “extremely damaging” to President Trump.
CJ Roberts could be a problem presiding over the Trial but any of his rulings can be overruled by the full Senate.
Nervous Nancy’s best play is to have the vote and let the “moderates” torpedo it that way she can try to keep the house. They can all go back to their districts and say they stood up to Pelosi. It’ll give them street cred. With that play, Trump is still given a pretty strong hand.
“Trump really is a fighter — one who lives for those fights.....now that Democrats have gone all-in to remove him; all they’ve done is reinforce the received wisdom on the Right that this is the only kind of Republican candidate who can survive now.”
I hadn’t really thought of it in those terms but the author makes a profound point:
President Trump’s eye-for-an-eye no-compromise fighting style, once considered loathsome even by fellow Republicans, has now been proven to be the ONLY political strategy with any hope of success against dishonest modern day Democrats and their fake news monopoly.
And it has been the Democrats themselves who have proven it, by subjecting the President to a three year black ops attack of unprecedented viciousness, and yet utterly failing to topple him.
What saved him was his instinct to choose the right path and stick to it no matter what, and when hit, to hit back twice as hard - and that lesson has not been lost on Republicans, even the former NeverTrumpers.
From this day forward, Republicans are on notice that if one wants to win against the dishonest Left, one must either be Donald Trump, or be as much like him as possible.
This is why we will see Republican politicians enthusiastically unite and fall in line behind their Commander and Chief in 2020, just as they did in 1984. He has shown them how to win.
After 2024 - who knows? At least aspiring leaders will have an example to follow.
Go Ronald Reagan!
Go Donald Trump!
