The Unspoken Truth: What Impeachment Exposed About Trump and 2020
Townhall.com ^ | November 24, 2019 | Kevin McCullough

Posted on 11/25/2019 3:52:55 AM PST by Kaslin

For those who got stuck watching the past two weeks of testimony in the circus inquiry into impeaching President Trump there is a bit of news that has been uncovered.

Let's face it only about 3 percent of the American people spent time watching the proceedings. Compare that to the near 30 percent of the American people who tuned in to view the Clinton impeachment proceedings and you already understand something very important.

After watching the Democrats attempt to displace a lawfully elected president via fake charges of collusion with Russia, the voter doesn’t seem very impressed with an effort to displace him over a phony charge of “quid pro quo.”

Denying due process, witnesses, or even their choice of the committee members who would be allowed to speak just added to the (****yawn****) sham and why people felt no compulsion to view the goings on.

Now that it appears Democrats have called their final witnesses and they are preparing to recommend the formal articles of impeachment, it’s my belief that the president’s team will finally be allowed to punch back for the first time.

But before they do we need to point out a significant and vital truth.

Post intel-committee polls are pointing out this truth. But it deserves a wider recognition.

It would be wise for Pelosi and Schiff to consider it prior to taking even another step forward.

Democrats cast President Trump as someone who is so self-driven that he’s attempting to subvert justice just to “win an election.” That his thirst for victory pulsates through his heart so obsessively that he would break laws to have foreign governments interfere in our process just so that he could beat a Democrat.

Yet here’s the unspoken truth: He doesn’t need to.

He never has.

In 2016 he literally spent the least in campaign operations to win an impressive 30 state (plus) victory.

He spent less than his GOP opponents in the primary.

He is spending way less than any of the Democratic candidates at present, with hundreds of millions in cash on hand, ready to go to work when the time is right. But the truth is he’s had hundreds of millions in the bank since his victory in 2016.

The Democrats didn’t lose because the Russians spent $90,000 on Facebook ads. Team Hillary spent upwards of $69 million.

They lost because her message didn’t connect with voters who felt like Washington, D.C. was ignoring them.

In 2016 candidate Trump had no track record, but he had ideas, and he made promises. In 2020 he’s kept 87 of those promises, and he still has ideas not yet implemented.

In 2020 he will likely spend less money on media than his opponent. He will focus resources into going to meet voters at his enormous rallies. People will feel heard, they will look at his track record now, and will easily send him back to finish the fight.

He doesn’t need Russian bot-farms. He doesn’t need Ukrainian investigations. He doesn’t need a thing.

And it seems voters understand this.

Multiple polls showed movement with independents since the “public” impeachment inquiry had begun. Different polls showed differing amounts but the range was 8-11 percent in the president’s favor.

The media—which is the public relations arm of the Democrats—has helped spread the idea that if President Trump has done something illegal, that it should be looked into.

Voters gave the Democrats the chance to make their case. And just like with Russia, collusion, and Mueller, the wheels fell off the cart under scrutiny.

Donald Trump will win more states in 2020 than he won in 2016. (I’m on record saying 34-38. He won 30 in 2016). And he doesn’t need any help from anybody, minus the voters that he has worked tirelessly for while in office.

Believing otherwise is just playing the sucker the impeachment Dems tried to convince you that you were these past two weeks.

Don’t let them.

The House Democrats, will not Impeach the Pres. They will vote for a house censure. This way, the unwashed will get something and the impeachment will NOT go to the Senate, where the Democrats will lose all control of the process.

I’d like to believe Trump will win but I don’t feel confident the GOPe under Ronna Romney and the Turdle has done the right things to prepare for the unprecedented degree of criminal electoral fraud the Marxocrats will surely implement in the next election. They’ve already successfully field-tested their techniques multiple times since 2016 with the GOPe utterly failing to stop the skullduggery. Prepare for Civil War 2.0 this time around.

Nails it. He 10/10 nails it.

America doesn’t give a rat’s ass about make believe impeachment nonsense. Most couldn’t find the Ukraine on a map. If not for “90 Day Fiancé”, they wouldn’t even know it’s a country.

What they do know is that they have jobs, they have movement within those positions, the formerly unemployed now field multiple offers. Americans have fatter paychecks, lower taxes, and swollen 401Ks. Employers have more jobs than employees to fill them.

And the democrat Congress has done what for America?

This Americans can provide a nice Christmas for their families.

The final nail in the dem coffin this year will be the Q4 retail numbers. Expect them to be dazzling.

President Trump is far too smart to entrust the election to those freaks. Do you think he relies on government employees to keep him alive? Of course not. He has his own executive security team.

Bill Clinton changed the law re security clearances (lucky for Obama). He fixed it so the president can give them out to whomever he pleases. Never forget that.

You can bet the farm that President Trump has 2020 security locked down from every conceivable angle. You won’t see it. He’s no fool. He thinks far ahead and he can see around corners.

And Schitt trying not to fake cry at the end and then whooping it up at a bar that night, gleefully celebrating with the other garbage human dems says it all.

Nothing but a taxpayer funded farce that was intended to destroy the votes of over 60,000,000 Americans.

I hope they all are burned at the stake.

Anyone that has two functioning brain cells knows he is innocent. Before he was elected he had FBI and CIA investigating him, they found nothing. Then the had the Mueller embarrassment looking and they found nothing. Then the preinstalled spy’s at the whitehouse tried and even with the over emoting Schiff the couldn’t make a case.

Face it, President Trump has to be the cleanest person to hit that town.

The people know the president won the election because we voted for president Trump. If the corrupt democrats were ignoring the people in 2016 they are ignoring us in 2020 on steroids. They are losers who can't admit to themselves that they are losers. Why would anyone but an anti Trump loser vote for the democrat party? They haven't done one thing for the people of this country. Maybe they should run for president of mexico.

Yes, they don't deserve to be run through the criminal "justice" system. A more immediate, draconian measure must be visited upon them.

And that’s awesome. If you have the displeasure of ever having heard Erickson because he’s so smart, just ask him he’ll tell you, you’ll routinely hear him talk about what the Democrats are doing wrong and how they can win. Basically, coaching them and giving them pointers. Fortunately, they don’t appear to be listening.

To my point, why would anyone on the Right say anything about what the Democrat’s are doing wrong or how they can turn things around? Except smart guys like Erickson.

What we should be doing is encouraging them to do more. Encourage them and force them to go even more to the Left than they appear to be going. We need to say that Omar, AOC, Tlaib, Pressley are formidable opponents that can lead the Democratic Party for decades to come. Empower them and let them know that they are intimidating.

Prop them up and watch them destroy that party. Watch them start to eat each other.

I’m thinking, that after the first of the year, when there is still no clear front runner for the Dem’s, the claws will start to come out. And lets not forget about PIAPS, she’s lingering on the edge fo the woodline, just barely out of sight, ready to come in and save the day.

You are dwelling the archaic past

Senator McConnell has and is supporting the President. Together they are team Republican Party.

“Donald Trump will win more states in 2020 than he won in 2016. (I’m on record saying 34-38. He won 30 in 2016). And he doesn’t need any help from anybody, minus the voters that he has worked tirelessly for while in office.”

I’m wondering what additional states Trump will win. The potentials as I see it are:

Minnesota, Maine and New Hampshire. Gary Johnson did syphon off enough votes to give Hillary New Mexico and surprisingly enough Virginia. Trump was even in range to take Nevada and possible Colorado.

So, What does this mean? If Trump swings those states, he would wind up with an additional 51 EV’s, giving him 357. If somehow Trump loses MIchigan, Wisconsin and Pennsy, he would still have 311 EV’s. In which case, Trump can lose an additional 40 EV’s and still retain the WH.

I believe this is what scares the rats the most. If everything stayed the same with the exception of losing 2 of the 3 states(MI, WI, PA) Trump still wins.

Some numbers to consider:

Gary Johnson in the states where Trump has a chance to flip, Trump lost by a total of 394,000 votes, with 353,000 being won by Gary Johnson. In every state but Virginia, those were enough votes to give the EV’s to Trump . In states Trump won, Gary Johnson’s votes could have changed the states to Hillary, or give Trump a much larger PV lead.

All in all, I’ll give Trump a net of 2 states in 2020, which will be enough to get him over the top. Bigger question will be, can Trump’s influence in those 2 states convert senate and house members in the Republicans favor?

Stay tuned. This will be fun.

I said “...I don’t feel confident the GOPe under Ronna Romney and the Turdle has done the right things to prepare for the unprecedented degree of criminal electoral fraud the Marxocrats will surely implement in the next election.”

I stand by that statement. This isn’t about getting a few RINO judges seated or the ridiculous impeachment nonsense. This is rampant and unprecedented electoral fraud that has already lost Trump multiple elections since his inauguration. I don’t see that being addressed in any way.

Biggest problem rats have is trying to convince Republicans that Trump did something wrong. Even anti-Trump Republicans will find it difficult to cast a vote for a rat in 2020. On the flip side, there is a large percentage o independents who will look at their 401k statements and will vote for Trump.

What does rampant electoral fraud have to do with executive security? As of now, the GOPe under Ronna Romney and the Turdle have already lost Trump multiple elections since his inauguration. I don’t see that being addressed at all.

He spent less than his GOP opponents in the primary.

One of the reasons is Hillary told the media she wanted to run against Trump and they gave him lots of free coverage. It backfired and that is why the media is out to get Trump..

FYI, as a Ukrainian colleague of mine pointed out, it is “Ukraine,” not “the Ukraine.” “The Ukraine” is what it was called when it was under Soviet control. “Ukraine” is the name for the independent country.
