Democrats' Stalingrad: The Tide Has Turned on Impeachment

Over the coming weeks, one question will be paramount in the wake of the Democrats’ disastrous impeachment fail. Should President Trump wage a pitched and protracted battle in the upcoming Senate trial? Or will cooler heads--like Senator Lindsey Graham’s--prevail upon him to accept a perfunctory hearing or outright dismissal?

Fox News host Laura Ingraham posited a paraphrase of that question to Ken Starr before Christmas. She asked the former Clinton scandal independent prosecutor whether Trump should simply “declare victory” in light of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s passive-aggressive call to sit on the House articles like a distraught hen sits on an egg sucked dry by a barnyard viper. Starr opined that the president should move on, sparing the nation the continued sociopolitical angst and division this travesty has wrought.

Not so fast. Graham, fresh from a White House meeting, declared that the president was “mad as hell.” That may indicate that Trump will aggressively move to obtain the exoneration he believes he so richly deserves. But Graham has also said that he doesn’t want to give the Schiff/Nadler impeachment senatorial credibility that it does not deserve.

The 2019 impeachment saga remains extremely fluid. This piece could be rendered obsolete before it is ever published. But it seems we have a temporary status quo. Democrat impeachers have left the building, gone home to face the damage they’ve done to themselves. GOP point men like Rep. Matt Gaetz (for future president?) have done irreparable damage to the flimsy impeachment cause, relentlessly characterizing the debacle for the partisan and pseudo-constitutional circus it is.

Now it’s the Senate’s turn, and Majority Leader McConnell is waiting. But something happened on the way to the upper chamber. Pelosi is hanging fast to the last shred of her party’s denuded credibility. There’s no two ways about it—she has

It maybe be Democrats’ “Stalingrad”, but I hope our side won’t suffer as severe a casualty.

No way to predict how the cornered rats are going to react or unleash.....

And 2020 election coming soon.

Like Hitler, Pelosi, Schiff and Nadler miscalculated.

Their offensive stalled. They’re waiting for the blow to fall from Trump’s troops.

Never begin a war you don’t intend to finish.

EXACTLY!!!!!!

The GOP “politicians” need to shut up and do just as President Trump wishes to do...

President Trump is no “politician”...He’s “people”....

Republicans should take this opportunity to turn the tables on demonicRATS and start “hearings” on Schiff and Pelosi’s knowledge of corruption within the demonicRAT Party.

Yes I was also tickled by that phrase and imagery. So good I’ll repeat it again!

Nancy Pelosi’s passive-aggressive call to sit on the House articles like a distraught hen sits on an egg sucked dry by a barnyard viper.

We need a quick vote and acquittal and THEN a thorough investigation into the corrupt RAT/justice dept/state dept attempt to overthrow the govt.

The sooner it’s dismissed in the Senate the sooner demRATs in the House can start their next impeachment hearings. It will be fun to ask dem candidates who they think they’re going to be running against and if elected, how many hours do they expect to be president.
