But Trump is not going to resign. Ponder that.
Trump is most likely not going to be impeached, and if even if he were, he is not going to be convicted by the Senate. We KNOW the Russians had nothing to do with the election, even though they apparently tried.
We don’t know what the Chinese tried, but given that their candidate HAD to have been Hillary, they obviously failed.
And what I think most people don’t understand is that the President cannot be arrested and charged with a crime while in office. That is my understanding of the Constitution. The Founders created a means of quickly removing a President, if need be, so that he then COULD be charged, but while he is in office, he cannot be arrested. He cannot be tried for any crime, high or low.
So I see no means by which this witch hunt can remove Trump from office. There is no end game in which the Left gets the outcome they want.
The goal can only be to create a distraction, which they have, and to do their best to embarrass the President, which I think they have not done. His ratings were unaffected by the convictions of both Manafort and Cohen in one week. His supporters GET that this is an illegal witch hunt, a travesty of justice, and a nakedly partisan effort to reverse the results of an election in which the American people sent a clear message to the coastal elites, and hacks of all sorts at all levels of government, and the political apparatus.
It may be that Trump’s poll numbers are not climbing greatly, but I strongly suspect that receptivity to his message among Democrats and independents, IS climbing steadily. They are perhaps not quite ready to make the jump yet, but they are starting to think about it, for the first time in their lives.
The Democrats do not value democracy. This much is obvious. They do not value the opinions of ordinary Americans, do not seek to help them, and do not value free speech, diversity of opinion, an honest press, or the dignity of the lowest among us who were nonetheless born among us, and thus have a right to ask to be respected more than people born in other nations who broke our laws to get here.
The Democrats value votes. That is all they value. That is not even remotely enough to survive indefinitely as a national power. When people’s perceptions catch up with reality, they are going to find themselves losing everywhere.
