Does anyone remember democrats passing Obamacare? They did not have enough votes in the Senate to pass it after Ted Kennedy died as the liberal voters of Massachusetts voted for Scott Brown, the first Republican to be elected in a very long time because he ran on stopping Obamacare. For you see, the people of MA liked their state run Romneycare, because it is much better run at the state level. To their credit, Ted Kennedy and the Dims saw it coming so they desperately tried to change the laws so that their would be no general election to put someone like Scott Brown into office who might thwart their plans, but they failed and the rest is history.

So the democrats then had to bypass the democratic process to achieve their goals, so they used Reconciliation to ram it through and even had to bribe members of their own party to go along with it behind closed doors. Sound familiar? Yes, the entire DNC is a giant Star Chamber as they are horrified at people actually knowing what they are doing.

So can they do the same with impeachment?

I think the Dems tried an open hearing earlier on.
Look what happened.
Lewandowski turned it into a circus.
All the GOP members in the hearing put forth questions designed to eat up time and simply throw sand in the gears.
It’s politics plain and simple.

This guy in the WH is dirty without a doubt in my mind.
The political establishment deals in technicalities.
The public is dealing with the optics.

Other than a couple segments in the voter blocks, namely the “patriots” and the “evangelicals” who need this president to lead them to their promised land, no matter how flawed, compromised or dirty he is, and generally desire America to be returned to the mid 20th century, the rest of the general public is left to hold their noses every time they turn on the TV or log on to the web.

Yes, yes, another rant about Trump and evangelicals.

Thanks for that.

Are you suggesting democrats would use bribery to convict a man of bribery? That would be the height of hypocrisy. That word keeps coming up.

No, they are laughing. Impeachment by hypocrisy simply will not work.
