RECALL RECALL RECALL

There are clearly some Democrats who are beginning to worry that this entire impeachment thing could backfire and potentially lead to Trump winning a second term. And they may be justified in those fears. Some of their members are already saying they will vote against impeachment and would prefer to go with a censure. Multiple polls now show the public swinging back the other way and opposing impeachment and removal. And for reasons that are difficult to parse, Trump is suddenly surging in Iowa and several swing states.
So if we game this out to the finish line, what do the Democrats do if their worst nightmares come true and Donald Trump is returned to office next November? Well, at least according to California Democrat Karen Bass, there’s no need for a change in strategy. They’ll just impeach him again. (Free Beacon)
TMZ founder Harvey Levin asked Bass on Tuesday if she would reintroduce articles of impeachment against Trump if Democrats gained control of the Senate in 2020. Bass said Levin was “absolutely right” to suggest House Democrats would pursue impeachment again, but clarified that new articles of impeachment could include more information about Trump.
“Yes, but I don’t think it would be exactly the same and here’s why. Because even though we’re impeaching him now, there’s still a number of court cases,” Bass said. “There’s a ton of information that could come forward. For example, we could get his bank records and find out that he’s owned 100 percent by the Russians.”
“The odds of that—sadly enough—is that he probably has other examples of criminal behavior,” Bass added.
Here’s an odd thought. In the hypothetical landscape where all this is playing out, this could theoretically lead to Donald Trump being the only president in the history of the country to be impeached twice. And you know how Trump loves setting records and being the first to do anything. He might be up for this.
Anyway, someone should really check in and see if Ms. Bass is okay. We’ll hold off on dealing with the political realities for a moment and look at precisely how and why she believes Trump could be impeached a second time. It’s because “there are other court cases” and some unknown treasure chest of “other information” out there. Oh, and if they ever get hold of all of Trump’s bank records, it’s just possible that he might be “owned 100% by the Russians.”
In other words, the planned second impeachment relies entirely on things that have not yet happened and probably won’t. That’s one heck of a way to run an airline, Congresswoman.
Let’s indulge Congresswoman Bass for a moment though, and just suppose that it’s January of 2021 and Donald J. Trump has been sworn in for a second term. If the Democrats want to impeach him again they will need to have held onto the House majority and the Speaker’s gavel. Is that a sure thing? If Trump really does bounce back, he may have some coattails. And that means that a lot of those marginal districts the Democrats flipped last year could go back the other way.
But let’s be generous and say that the Democrats hold the House and can somehow convince all of their members to fire up this entire circus again. (Very, very far from a sure thing.) They would still need a conviction in the Senate. It’s tough to see them flipping the upper chamber, but even if they do, it’s inconceivable that they’ll pick up 19 seats and establish a 2/3 supermajority. Even if you assume that a couple or three Republicans could be convinced to vote for impeachment, they’re going to be very short.
So what does all this add up to? If Trump wins a second term, he finishes that term. And the voting public is treated to another endless cycle of watching the Democrats (and their friends in the media) trying to overturn yet another election. Fun times, sports fans. I can hardly wait.
Come January 2021, the DEMONRATS will no longer be in charge of the House of Representatives. And they know it.
All the more reason to NOT VOTE DEMOCRAT!
EVER!
Let me remind all of my FReeper FRiends that a vote for ANY Democrat is a vote AGAINST America!
Another example of liberals ruining everything.
Impeachment used to be something serious, something consequential, something that happened only once every hundred years or so. Now it’s just another cheap gimmick, drained of meaning.
Voting used to be thought of as a civic duty, an expression of national pride (think of the Iraqi’s with purple fingers after their first vote) - but with democrats stuffing ballot boxes, planting votes in the trunk of Al Franken’s car, sneaking in illegal alien votes, “harvesting ballots” it’s turning into political theater.
But back to impeachment - at first I thought it would be sad to see Trump tarred by impeachment. Now it doesn’t bother me a bit - because after Schiff, Nadler and Pelosi, impeachment no longer means a damn thing. It’s just more detritus of a wonderful political experiment being gnawed to death by a pack of power-hungry parasites.
I would love to see who owns all of these dimwits who voted for impeachment. Who do they answer to? Like we don’t already know but they deserve to be investigated.

The fate of Donald Trump is not as important as the now proven fact that the American Left does not accept the legitimacy of any election which can threaten their already considerable power.
Voting will, therefore, not be able to fix this problem.
The maneuvering by elected Democrats and the media has comical aspects, it's true.
But the real action is not there.
The real action is within the government itself, which has more or less succeeded in preventing President Trump from governing as other Presidents have done.
Re-electing Trump, or electing Tucker Carlson or any other third positionist, will be meaningless as long as active resistance within the Judiciary and the Executive Branch continues at the level we find it today.
Trump could do a series of rallies in squalid CA and NY congressional districts. Like Aunt Nancy’s in SF.
Did Cavuto throw her a Kiss when she said that?
"IF"? Once he gives a campaign rally or two in California, I suspect any Republican candidates there will have some pretty long coattails to grab on to.
A trip or two out there would re-invigorate a currently useless party.
Every one of these idiots saying this, this should be the video, audio of ads all across this country for the 2020 congressional elections....
Dems have lost the house, period.
The Democrats have made impeachment like calling someone racist. It has not meaning any more.
Can you imagine how vile Joe's running-mate will have to be to deflect that likelihood?
These people assume they will be keeping the House next election. The repubes would need to win, at the barest minimum, 20 out of the 31 seats to take the majority. Or win 65% of the 31 seats open this next election.
Hard to parse...good one Jizz you Salem neverTrumpin’ crypto-liberal
Ah yes, a democrat weaving their own noose
How can we speed up this self-euthanizing being done by these democrats ?
The left is always the tool.
