Should drag Felonia Von Pantsuit in there too. Make her answer some questions.
You need to read the article, Trump will not be in charge. mcconnel will have the backing of the dems and will limit Trumps defense to the actual articles of impeachment. This is not so much about removing Trump as it is about damaging him for the 2020 election. The repubs hate Trump as much as the dems.
Unfortunately, I agree completely with you.
McConnell and the GOP recently blocked the outstanding Ratcliffe from the DNI post. The idea they will suddenly begin to firmly support POTUS after 3 years enabling the coup is a sunshine pumping day dream. Not going to happen.
“Trump will not be in charge ...This is not so much about removing Trump as it is about damaging him for the 2020 election”.
I agree with the second part.
But remember, they used everything except impeachment (only because they couldn’t at that point) to try to damage him in the 2016 election.
And who was ultimately “in charge” then?
Sure, they will be in charge of the traditional impeachment in DC, but Trump will be in charge everywhere else, and his counterpunch we-the-people impeachment of House Dems will be more impactful.
As he said in the midterms, there are to many House races for him to get involved in helping separate campaigns. But now he’s able to coral them all under this one issue, and to rally voters to vote against any rep who voted to impeach him.
So I stand by my prediction. In 2020, Trump WILL be in charge!
Trump will win, and the GOP will win 50 or more seats to take control of the House, effectively impeaching the House Dems.
