So Trump self sabotage himself. He destroyed his chances of being re-elected by breaking the law. He's not really partial to following the laws except the non-disclosure agreements his staff sign. They should follow the law. It was just a matter of time before the karma vector of this wannabe tyrant hit up against limits he would find did not suit him. I'll never forgive the people who ignored all the warning signs.
Of course the rose colored glasses, of those who still defend him, see a proud strong man defending himself against liberal excesses. Confirmation bias. You believe what you want to believe. The same could be said about me, but that's why we have objective laws. He broke the law. They can pretend they don't see it, but they also can't say they are the law and order republicans any more. Many prominent Republicans have resigned from the party, and the ones who are left love the power grab, the pussy grabber.
By sucking everyone else in, he provided cover. That's why he likes to point at others, he's looking for something from Biden's son. You going to take down a whole herd? Upping the stakes.
Do we want to impeach every other player in this scandal? I do. Lets go to number twenty on the succession list. I don't care even if it is Moscow Mitch. Get someone who isn't tainted with the blood of illegal activity (that we know of, yet). But impeachment is only about one official as far as I know. The jerk who stands in till the next election will pardon the whole lot. The crime pardoning president will be his place in history. They will say we need to make peace and move forward as a nation. I'm not done rubbing their faces in the mess they made.
That Trump thinks Biden is his biggest threat, doesn't even see Warren or Sanders. The logic that says Obama created Trump might also declare that Trump created Sanders. I know a lot of people who can't imagine a woman winning the presidency. I've always predicted that the first woman who becomes president will be a republican. But Warren used to be one, so maybe some can hope.
Meanwhile people are suing South Carolina Republicans because they canceled the primary. The many headed hydra of this big bowl of wrong against democracy has made a lot of work for others, and it's not clear what efforts will be wiped out and when.
What happens to the Republican party when Trump gets impeached? Do they all just stand in line, rank and file behind Moscow Mitch? Ben Carson? Who ever ends up with the presidency in their lap. Not exactly how we hoped it would happen. And then does whoever run for president? Was he even considered? I'm pretty sure it would be a sham running, with little possibility of winning. Romney has been in the wings for quite a while now, "look over here, look over here." Not sure I want someone who needs psychologically to be president so much, though I suppose they all need the ego boost. Every president has been hamstrung by one problem or another. Are we ready for a Mormon?
So the Democrats are voted in and there's a historic sweep also of the House and Senate. Trump was like a bad colon cleanse. Drain the swamp? He built gaudy casinos on it and invited all his swapthing friends. He's the master at inverting the narrative. You call him a tyrant, well, he's the most democratic president in history. Forget that he didn't win the popular vote because we give farmers in the midwest more power. Their hardscrabble existence is about self reliance, and that aligns with the Republican rhetoric of personal responsibility, that is a general principle for everyone, but hardly a basis for the government when people die from their murderous policies.
Trump has defeated the philosophy that government is bad and doesn't matter. He's gone in and wrecked it up pretty bad, but we deserve something better.
Meanwhile his daughter has gotten a patent in China for election machines? Wasn't really sure the family was into democracy. I thought they would go into the moat and alligator business.
I think we need to clarify what emoluments are, and strengthen that part of the constitution. Trump's greatest service to America is that we've learned we need to strengthen the institutions of democracy in America.
