Just a reminder that it has been known since the beginning that the GOP senate isn’t removing trump. Trump is only being removed by the electorate in 2020. That has always been the case.
The point of the impeachment inquiry and then the senate trial is to maximize the potential that trump and his GOP protectors lose in 2020.
A theory on why the White House is focused on investigating the investigators.
Russian sanctions.
If the investigation that established Russian election interference was discredited, trump would be justified in removing Russian sanctions.
Also related to relieving Russian sanctions, trump has pushed the Ukrainian President to work a deal with Russia. That deal would be about Crimea, which would then allow russia to get the Crimea sanctions lifted.
It is about Russia.
Trumpkin defenses to this scandal I’ve been seeing seem to follow this order.
- WhAtAbOuT Biden and the Dems
- this is a manufactured crisis by the dems
- this will end up helping trump in 2020
- no one cares about any of this
Of course. The election isn’t until November 3, 2020. That is the only possible check on trump. I hope people aren’t surprised by that reality. That has always been the case.
The only positive that can come from this WB report is that it damages trump and the GOP enough that it decreases their 2020 chances
So dump the doom and gloom stuff. 2020 is the check on trump.
Everything that is happening, impeachment inquiry, WB reports, congressional testimonies, investigations only matter in how they increase the potential of trump losing in 2020.
Just accept that the only check to trump is the 2020 election and all your negativity crumbles. Mitch and the Senate were never going to remove trump. Why would you pretend otherwise? This isn’t hard and it isn’t terribly complicated
Wait! Are you under the impression that Trump might be removed from office by the Senate and Mitch? Where have you been? The only thing that matters, the only thing that has ever mattered is the 2020 election. Get with the program. Trump will only be checked by losing the 2020 election
Shhhhh... I can only get so triggered. Pelosi and the Dems are totally on team trump and completely OK with all of his illegal actions. That’s what we need to be pushing! We definitely aren’t dividing the left, suppressing Dem vote in 2020, while knowing that the only way trump’s leaves office is through the 2020 election! That damn Pelosi!!!?!
If we want to further civil rights, we should get Trump to win in 2020. ?
If we want to further civil rights and social reform, states should succeed. ?
If civil rights and social reform are the goal, suggest you push removing the GOP from the White House and senate as straightforward ends without introducing successionism/Russian talking points
Was there ever any thought that the Senate would remove trump? If so, I missed it.
This has been and will only be about the 2020 election. That’s the only way trump is removed from office. That has been the only purpose to impeachment, a political process - will it increase or decrease potential for trump losing in 2020.
Impeach and then removal was never a consideration. The GOP would never let that happen
Getting the full whistleblower report to Congress is the only thing that matters. The transcript is just a diversion to placate his base and give Fox News something to spin.
Plus it’s not just trump. Dems need to hold the house and win the senate if any substantial corruption/campaign reforms are going to pass. Plus the more governorships and their AGs willing to battle things out in court.
Nice! Which of my points are the ones that are triggering you? Is it pointing out that voter suppression in left leaning threads is a thing? Is it reminding folks that the US is a two party system? What about the idea that trump and his corruption and crimes are being hidden and protected by the GOP?
Tell me which ones trigger you and why it makes you feel that way.
No one gives a shit. You’ve already shared with us that you are an idiot.
Voting libertarian/republican in 2016 even though you are a “Bernie bro.”
Blaming Dems for trump’s misdeeds while not committing to vote against trump
Don’t forget you’ve admitted you aren’t voting against trump in 2020 unless your Dem candidate wins the primary.
In a two party system, you aren’t going to vote against trump, even after constantly railing against Dems for all the shitting things trump does.
It is the Dems fault trump does shitting things, but btw I’m not actually going to vote against trump!!?!?
