This impeachment drive is a huge political bust for Democrats
NY Post ^ | December 01 2019 | David Harsanyi

Impeachment is a political process. And judging the process strictly on political grounds, the impeachment of President Trump hasn’t been a success for Democrats.

After all, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Adam Schiff haven’t gotten any closer to convincing a single Senate Republican to remove the president. It’s highly probable that a Senate trial run by Republicans, with new witnesses and evidence, would further corrode the Democrats’ case.

Liberals will pretend that Senate Republicans are members of a reactionary Trump cult, but if there had been incontrovertible proof of “bribery,” a number of them would be compelled to act differently. No such evidence was provided.

Any attack on conservatives, with media support, can only be a success for further attacks.

Make no mistake: this is an all out assault on conservatives, capitalism, and America as we know it.

From a political perspective, to conservatives, nothing the democrats have ever done has been a “success”. Everything they do inevitably turns to rot. You literally have to turn the thinking part of your brain off to vote for democrats.

It’s highly probable that a Senate trial run by Republicans, with ACTUAL witnesses and evidence, would further corrode the Democrats’ case.

(FIXED)

It has already been a success for Dem.
Maintains the hardline momentum, forces Trump to give up draining the swamp......

Biden family will be above the law.
Ukraine will continue to be Soros/Dem’s stronghold and Trump has got no other choice but to give the corrupted country a lot of money for nothing.

They’re basically all guilty of accepting bribes.

“The constitution requires them to have these fake impeachment hearings.”

The Dem leaders wrapping the flag around themselves with their “solemn patriotism” makes me physically ill.

The more the Dems push against Trump-—the more likely Hunter Biden’s head will end up on a pike. He will take his father down with him.

There has been so much corruption for so long by the Dems that they cannot see the daylight from the dark.

“Impeachment is a political process”

This nonsense was from a Gerald Ford quote.
The Constitution does NOT give the opposition party the right to remove a sitting President without cause.

Yawn. More sunshine pumping. The Dem attacks were certainly “successful” in the midterms. I’ll withhold my judgement until November 2020 to see if the Dem tactics were effective.

This is just more excuses for the GOP Senate not to engage the ongoing coup.
