you know they are trying to sling much mud as possible to so it sticks to trump. there is precedent for that.

Think Andrew Johnson not Nixon. there is a lot of similarity between the A. Johnson administration and Trump administration. both faced hostile congress. both found the presidents actions or non-actions objectionable.
now there is a difference in the how the politics ran between those 2 eras. Johnson didn't have any support in both houses. Trump on the other hand has the support of the senate.
the precedent... after his "acquittal" by the senate, Johnson was damaged goods after a fashion. He ran for a 2nd presidential term as a democrat. Johnson was met by a democrat challenger from New York by the name of Seymore. Johnson lost the primary by 1 vote.
I think this is where Pelosi & her silly merry go around fools are going to.

problem is .. today unlike 1869 with Johnson there is no chance whatsoever Trump won't be the the RNC nominee. idiots like Weld have absolutely no chance to unseat him as the 2020 candidate. So they will have to defeat Trump the old-fashioned way .. via the election. if you look at the comments on Yahoo .. and notice many of the uber liberal sites like HuffPost and VOX do
not allow comments .. this impeachment over Ukraine is already backfiring. many commenters who may not be Trump supporters are saying they don't get the issue. they don't see anything improper and certainly not impeachable by what Trump said to the Ukraine president. of course the uber leftist Trump haters are screaming like loons, but they do that anyway and they wouldn't vote for Trump if you put a gun their heads. These are the same libtard jackasses that fawned over Clinton and then cried like bitches when she lost.
i think many independent voters are not buying this bullshit and when it comes down to it will not vote for a retard like Warren or Sanders. Even Biden with his gaffe reel idiot brain if he is the nominee and i doubt it .. will say so much stupid shit he'll ruin his chances. more bullshit like "poor kids are just as smart as white kids" and " truth over facts" crap. even Chung Tran knows Trump will wipe the floor with Biden in a debate. I actually think Warren will do
worse than Biden. Not because she's a dolt brained idiot like Biden but because she's a firebrand crusader who thinks she can "stand up" to Trump. Trump will make one of his famous flippant comments and Warren will lose it. And i mean LOSE IT. MELTDOWN. she'll start ranting like an escapee from a mental institution. Game Over.
there are typically three camps in a presidential election. firm Democrats, firm Republicans and independents. nothing this impeachment crap can do will change the hardcore on the left or right. they vote by party. here, there will be another group and i'll call then disinterested voters. both parties have them, voters that would vote Democrat or Republican but don't vote at all. Trump has already pulled a lot of "lazy" Republicans out to vote in 2016 it's one of the reasons he won. He'll do it again and in even greater numbers directly due to this sham impeachment. and the press with their constant demonizing of all things Republican and conservative will help Trump in that regard, not quite realizing it of course. and then there are the independents and moderate Democrats. Once the Democrats nominate Free Shit Fauxahontous she will lose moderate Democrats in droves and turn off independents. she will also turn off "liberal" Republicans and this is clearly a recipe for disaster for the Democrats in 2020. and not just for President, the course the Democrats are going could easily cause a backlash similar to that Muslim asshole traitor Obama. they could lose seats across the board, hand the House right back to the Republicans, give them a near veto proof Republican majority in the Senate and swing dozens of State house/senate races Republican. Obama showed it can happen .. because
it did happen (here's poking a stick in yer eye Little Munster) and the Democrats are putting themselves into a situation where recent history will repeat itself.
BAHHHAHAAAAAAA
