Ultimate Cure

For John, BLUF:  In November of next year the People will make a decision on Impeachment, signaling approval, disapproval or indifference.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Watch for Pelosi’s brilliant move:  She won’t fall into the Republicans’ deadly trap

Here is the sub-headline:

If Trump somehow escapes removal by impeachment the jury will cast their votes in the 2020 elections and they will, without question, find him guilty as charged.

By Michael Payne - December 13, 2019.

Here is the lede plus one:

I’d venture to say that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is thinking very deeply about the next steps that will be taken in this impeachment process.  It’s time to think out of the box, not just follow the same standard process of, after the articles of impeachment have been approved by the House members, to send them to the Senate, hoping for a fair and nonpartisan trial; especially when she knows that the chances of such a fair trial are little to none.

In normal times in a normal Congress, that might be the proper way to proceed but these are anything but normal times and this Senate could never be called normal.  If the House just sends the articles to the Senate then the Democrats will fall into the deadly trap set by Majority Leader McConnell and his Republican puppets.

Those articles will be turned into no more than pieces of paper and they will become meaningless as soon as McConnell gets his hands on them.  That trap is there just waiting for Democrats to fall into it, and Republicans can’t wait for it to happen.

So, what’s next, what should Pelosi and the Democrats do? Here is the way I see events unfolding in the next several weeks and, very likely before Congress goes on the Christmas recess…

Mr Payne may be correct in thinking that the ultimate answer to President Trump is the 2020 election, but I think he has been drinking his own bathwater.
