| PELOSI: Trump not worth her time |
His
continued hold on the presidency is a true embarrassment to our society –
particularly those people who seem determined to support him no matter what he says
or does.
YET
THE FACT remains that Trump does have that hold on roughly one-third of the public
– and they would react very badly if any effort was undertaken to remove him
prior to the 2020 election cycle.
For
that matter, they’re the ones who would probably support a Trumpian coup d’etat
if his reaction to a 2020 electoral defeat was to decide to simply refuse to
leave the White House and claim the presidency as being his post for the
remainder of his life.
The
fact being that Hillary Clinton back in 2016 was merely telling the truth when she
made her now-infamous “basket of deplorables” comment about Trump supporters.
No matter how much some want to say it was a Clinton mis-step that cost her any
chance at the presidency, the reality is that rationality and reason don’t rule
these days.
That
is why I think those individuals who went through the 2018 election cycle
thinking that voting for a Democrat in Congress was done with the purpose of
setting the stage for Donald Trump’s impeachment and removal from office were
seriously delusional.

| TRUMP: Probably offended Pelosi thinks that |
IF
ANYTHING, EVEN more delusional than those people who will persist in claiming
that that Trump has a clue about what he’s doing while in political office.
So
here’s thinking that it’s a good thing that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., is coming out and publicly saying she has no intention of letting
those people in her congressional caucus move forward with impeachment talk.
As
Pelosi puts it, Trump, “is just not worth it.”
Not
worth the procedural hassles you’d have to undertake to hold impeachment
hearings by the House of Representatives – or the inevitable trial to be
presided over by the chief justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, with
the Senate sitting as jurors.

| HILLARY: Wasn't lying about 'deplorables' |
Which,
by the way, was the same outcome of some two decades ago when Congress tried to
force the removal of Bill Clinton from the White House.
Republican
ideologues will forever say that Clinton as president was impeached. That’s
true!
But
the Senate sure didn’t remove him from office. Clinton finished out his second
term as president. The general reaction from the public back then was that the
whole process devolved into petty partisan political bickering. Republican ideologues
shamefully used the impeachment process to try to achieve an outcome they never
were able to reach on an Election Day.
THE
SAME THING would wind up happening again if anyone seriously tried to push for Trump’s
removal from office. Trying to get a Supreme Court justice to essentially sign
off on a coup d’ etat, rather than defeating him at the polling place!

| CLINTON: Impeached, but acquitted |
Those
of us eager to see Trump go down to defeat need to put our efforts into beating
“the Donald” on Election Day. Both Trump himself, or on the off chance that he
doesn’t run for re-election but touts someone else in his image, his
replacement.
While
I’m sure ideologue political operatives are counting on the ongoing confusion amongst
Democrats and inability to reach a consensus on who would challenge him as
their strongest hand in terms of retaining control of the White House.
Focusing
on the electoral process IS the way to go about removing Trump. So that if he
really does live down to our worst expectations and refuse to leaves office on
Jan. 20, 2021, we can send the Secret Service into the White House and have the
man arrested, at the very least, for criminal trespass.
