It begins with unsustainable premise.

Title and first sentence are mind-numbingly ignorant and it goes downhill from there.

Waste of bandwith.

Amazing how he refuses to define what he means by “centrist”.

No matter how reprehensible one considers former US president Bill Clinton’s actions to have been in the Monica Lewinsky case, they dwarf in comparison to the actions of Donald Trump.
The partisan media shill suffers from cranial-rectal inversion.

The Democrats will use collusion to get votes while not trying to impeach the President since they have the most to lose.

There was evidence of Clinton's wrongdoings. Roger Stone has shown there is nothing to present to a U.S. court to show the alleged Russian hack actually occurred. The only evidence of any crimes related to the 2016 election are those committed by Obama and Hillary who used the FISA courts as their private secret police.

If the Democrats try to impeach the President, they have to present a case and all the evidence goes public. This is why Comey and Brennan won't shut up and Mueller wants to disappear. If the truth comes out, they are the ones who get indicted first, including Mueller.

So the left will keep talking about impeachment while they should be scared to death if it actually happens.

The faked up impeachable charges would go back to the Russian dossier business and the Mueller investigation. If Trump had never had to deal with the fake dossier, then there would have been no impeachable charges.

However, if the impeachment idea would to move onto the next step....House signs off, and sends the charges to the Senate. An impeachment would open up. The problem here...the President could then present a different case, subpoena various FBI members, former Justice Department folks, and former Obama insiders. What would have been a simple two-week take-down of the President would turn into a six-month long impeachment, which McConnell would allow to continue, and hand charges off to Barr to prosecute those giving faulty testimony.

The term ‘burning bridges’? This impeachment would probably burn the Democratic bridge for votes, for an entire decade. Senate Democrats would be begging for a vote to end the impeachment, and be rejected until the the full dose was exercised.

Leftward political slide?

The Democrat Party is already in a Leftward avalanche!

And I don’t see anything down slope that has a chance of stopping the mudslide.

The Left is doing a good job of lying to themselves.

It is one of their most prominent and useful assets.

It worked very well when they had complete control of the media.

Now that they no longer have complete control of the media, much of the time, their internal lies are exposed.

The Left is terrible at understanding reality.

They are very good at coming up with excuses about why reality does not agree with them.

Oh, they still have control of the corrupt coup media,
it’s just that fewer people are believing their lies.

Amazing how he refuses to define what he means by “centrist”.



steve does kind of define a dumbocrap "centrist":     Why is the “consensus” mantra for Democratic centrists from Obama to former vice president Joe Biden always the same even though it proves to be so disastrous?

...soooo

barkie and plugs are dumbocrap "centrists."

easy peasy.

this guy just (wisely!) expresses concern that the dumbocraps are falling off the leftist cliff with impeachment, aoc, sanders et al.

Also known as cranial-rectal insertion syndrome.

The Left has finally admitted they have devolved into ‘tit-for-tat’ revenge politics, country be damned. how... cute. But that’s what socialism leads to in every country it’s been tried - tit for tat, until the only ones left standing are pre-teens terrorizing old women. What an enlightened idea. For the insane.

“Similarly, Mitch McConnell, Republican leader of the Senate, has stated that if a Supreme Court vacancy occurs in 2020, the Republicans would fill it — the exact opposite of what the party did in 2016, with the argument that regardless of who former president Barack Obama chose to fill the court’s vacancy, let voters decide at the polls.....”

In 2016, Obama wasn’t running for reelection so McConnell wanted the next President to pick the new Justice. Hillary could have won and picked the new Justice. In 2020, Trump is up for reelection so he gets to fill the opening if one emerges.
