Try this mind experiment: As much as patriots despise Hussein, what would have been the reaction if they found out the right has abused intelligence resources to spy on him before he was elected? Even worse, that a republican president & his minions had utilized the Patriot act - in ways so many warned about - to create a counter intelligence operation similar to the color revolutions used overseas to overthrow lawful government?
What the left is so far beyond the pale that it's amazing they willingly marched themselves over the cliff. This is why Trump will eventually creep up to 55% or so across the board, spelling electoral doom in 2020.
The electorate is not going to be kind to the Democrats in the short term, but HISTORY will be VERY VERY VERY UNKIND in the long term..
They have ensured Trump a place in the history books, they want to focus on the fact they voted to impeach... let them, because his impeachment and subsequent landslide re-election will smack them in the face for as long as there is a documented history of this nation to study.
Andrew Johnson was impeached, largely over POLICY difference between Congress and Him.. and he is viewed historically as correct.. and he only survived being removed by a single vote in the Senate.
Democrats will be viewed throughout all time as WRONG on this. Trump will also be forever known as the first president to win re-election after being impeached... and his re-election will not be close.. but will be huge... leaving an even worse historic rebuke of this insanity.
Democrats think they have given Trump a scarlet letter, instead they have given him a badge of honor.
Good post.
It truly goes to the personal, because how many people have been watching this mess and thinking, “What if that were *me*!”
Innocent folks know toxic office politics when they see it, as many have experienced what it’s like to be railroaded by an insecure, incompetent manager, or sabotaged by a resentful queen bee coworker, on and on.
