When you don't have principles, and you're only response to ANY problem is to burn everything down, you might be a leftist.

 

Pushed by the same politicians who told Romney "The 80s called, they want their foreign policy back." 

 

It took less than four years to change their tune.  :lol:

Two Democrats From Solid Red Districts Say They’ll Vote To Impeach 

https://hotair.com/archives/allahpundit/2019/12/16/wow-two-dems-solid-red-districts-say-theyll-vote-impeach-collin-peterson-admits-approached-switch-parties/

 

Consider this a periodic reminder that no one should underestimate Pelosi’s ability to get her caucus to fall in line. We need to relearn that lesson every decade or so, it seems, but relearn it we do.

 

 

“McAdams’ political career is over,” said a Trump spokesman in response, again almost certainly correctly. Why did he and Cunningham choose to vote yes, knowing the consequences? My guess is they figured they’d lose next fall no matter what with Trump leading the ticket and local turnout sky high, so they might as well commit seppuku in service to impeachment and earn some goodwill with Democratic Party leaders. It’s also possible that Pelosi made it known to them that she wants as close to zero defections as possible on the big vote even though she could technically afford 12 or so while still passing it. I assumed from the beginning was that she’d want everyone who voted yes on the impeachment inquiry to also vote yes on impeachment, if only to deny Republicans the talking point that the inquiry had *cost* Democrats votes within their own caucus. That imperative seemed to fade as support for impeaching Trump ticked down in polling, but maybe Pelosi’s still keen to make it happen. If only as a morale booster for the base, which is bummed that impeachment fever hasn’t caught on nationally.

 

Pretty expensive morale booster, given the likely outcome in Cunningham’s and McAdams’s districts next year.

Judiciary Committee impeachment report alleges Trump committed 'multiple federal crimes'

President Donald Trump committed criminal bribery and wire fraud, the House Judiciary Committee alleges in a report that will accompany articles of impeachment this week.

 

The report, a 169-page assessment of the case for Trump’s removal from office, contends that Trump committed “multiple federal crimes” — ones that Democrats addressed under the broad umbrella of “abuse of power,” the first article of impeachment against the president. ...

 

... Democrats emphasized that proving a criminal violation is not required to justify impeachment.

 

“The Framers were not fools. They authorized impeachment for a reason, and that reason would have been gutted if impeachment were limited to crimes,” the report states. ...

FAKE NEWS ABOUT ELISE STEFANIK

This Washington Post story is called “A moderate congresswoman went all-in for Trump. Her constituents think they know why.” The story is fake news at several levels.

 

First, the Post didn’t take a survey of Stefanik’s constituents. Thus, the Post doesn’t know whether her constituents think they know why their congresswoman, who has a moderate voting record in the House, is backing President Trump so strongly during the impeachment process.

 

Second, the constituents the Post spoke with gave conflicting reasons for her position. Some seemed to think it’s because impeachment is unpopular in Stefanik’s district. Others think it’s because she’s a faux moderate. One activist said:

She was putting up a facade of being a moderate, bipartisan. It was an absurd act. And now the facade is long gone.

This is stupid. The measure of Stefanik’s moderation, or lack thereof, is how she votes on policy issues, not what she thinks of the case for impeaching Donald Trump. One can be a moderate and believe Trump shouldn’t be impeached. In fact, polling suggests that many (perhaps most) moderates believe just that.

 

The Post’s Griff Witte refuses to entertain a third possible explanation for Stefanik’s position on ousting the president. It just might be that she thinks the case for doing so falls well short on the merits. Polling suggests that more Americans now believe this than don’t.

Schumer’s Hail Mary bid to save Democrats’ disastrous impeachment drive

New York Post, by Editorial

 

Original Article

 

 

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer knows his House colleagues bungled their “impeachment inquiry” so badly that they managed to shift public opinion markedly against removing the president. So he’s hoping for a do-over.

 

That’s the essence of Schumer’s butter-wouldn’t-melt-in-his-mouth proposals for the Senate trial: He’s asking the GOP Senate majority to do what the House Democratic majority opted not to do, namely try to get some more White House documents and compel testimony from witnesses, including acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and former National Security Adviser John Bolton.

 

In other words: do more fishing in hopes of getting something that might damage President Trump.
