Battle for House Intensifies After Impeachment (RATS 'in serious trouble')
Wall Street Journal via MSN ^ | 2/14/20 | Natalie Andrews

WASHINGTON - House lawmakers are readying to campaign in the post-impeachment landscape, with Democrats eager to focus on policy issues and Republicans planning to attack swing-district Democrats for voting to remove a president whom many of their constituents support.

Democrats plan to defend the majority, and specifically their 30 seats in districts that Mr. Trump won in 2016, by discussing the issue that gave them the gavel in 2018: lowering health-care costs. Lawmakers expect to stay far away from talking about the two articles of impeachment the House passed against the president in December.

Republicans, meanwhile, will largely embrace running on the ballot alongside Mr. Trump. Their message will be national: attacking Democrats for impeachment and tying themselves to successes in the economy and the president.

“The Democrats who voted for impeachment from districts that Trump won with a majority are in serious trouble,” said David Wasserman, the House race analyst from the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. Twelve House Democrats won in districts where the president won more than 50% of the vote, while 18 Democrats took districts that Mr. Trump won with a plurality.

Republicans credit the impeachment investigation for boosting fundraising. In the first six weeks of this year, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has raised over $1.5 million online, according to an aide. By comparison, he raised $1.3 million in the final quarter of 2019.

Pelosi delayed the articles for a whole month. Bad timing on her part. She needs to retire and pass the baton to the real socialists.

And now Crazy Nancy is considering cranking up the impeachment train again over Roger Stone.

And, pray tell, what have the Democrats done to reduce health care costs?

hopefully prayerfully the people will de-elect enough of the commie-nazi types that Pelousy and Schitt and Nadler are removed, at least, from their power positions!

our country is in grave danger so long as these seditionists are permitted to remain in charge of “our” congress

is there any serious organized campaign effort ?

GOP has the advantage with real people voting. The Dimocrats still have the same cheating mechanism in place that won in 2018. It will be interesting to see what happens.

The woman is half-way to death already. She seems to have
gotten a discount by becoming mummified before being
officially declared.

yes about Pelousy looking mostly deceased, , but same is true for HilLIARy and Ginsberg and they are both still sufficiently vertical (with their KickAPooJoyJuice injections and Lord knows what else) to be still shooting their mouths off

She had to wait for those pens to be made so she could act like the president in signing those impeachment articles; a box of Walmart Scripto pens wouldn’t make the signing meaningful.

When have the Democrats ever worried about telling the truth?

Before, they never had to worry about being exposed by the Media.

Well by not meeting and devoting all their time to that fake impeachment didn’t allow for them to mess it up more thereby increasing costs.

OBAMA CARE?

A total disaster that increased costs! Actually it was designed to fail and then be replaced by socialized medicine when a democrat won the election after Obama’s last term.

Obama and the democrats failed to factor in losing and much less a president such as Trump.

And, how much did President Trump raise in six weeks?

Bwahahahah.

The Vile Botoxian literally looks like a skull wearing a wig, and her eyebrows look like they were done with a Sharpie Marker. She is constantly chewing her cud like a bony staring geriatric cow, due to her ill-fitting dentures.

We saw the real spoiled brat B*TCH after the SOTU, this is what she’s always been like behind closed doors. But her advancing dementia is clear—in her stuttering and stammering, confusing speech, lack of impulse control, and very bad decision-making.

Actually the senile and angry Vile Botoxian is a gift to Trump and the GOP. We need to ensure that we take advantage of this gift given to us.

Yes, about these policy issues. When you resume power what are you going to DO? And why should we believe you?
