CLUSTER’S LAST STAND

Most of you know what I mean when I describe the House Judiciary meetings as a “cluster.” If you don’t know, just assume it is means messed up beyond recovery. The House Judiciary Committee put on their best argument today, in a public hearing, and participating Democrats were embarrassed. That is those capable of embarrassment were embarrassed. When Nadler was awake, which was not always the case, he appeared rattled. Democrats launched self-righteous sermons. When they did try to discuss facts, they were quickly debunked by the next Republican. I am sure there are many on the liberal left still trying to convince themselves that this was great. But most people have sobered up by now and this was really ugly. While the Democrats were floundering, Republicans came armed for bear. If the American people are buying the Democratic spin, we are hopelessly doomed. But that will only happen if no one actually listened or they are all disciples of AOC. Most of the people I know, both Republican and Democrat, liberal or conservative will have no problem understanding this.

Undoubtedly some hate Donald Trump enough to vote for impeachment regardless of facts, but most people will be troubled by an attempt to remove a President of the United States from office without having something resembling a case. Not only do they have zero evidence of a crime, they can’t even make the case that Trump was wrong to suggest investigating Joe and Hunter Biden. Democrats don’t have a thin case; they don’t have a case at all.

In addition, Republicans got the opportunity to trash Hunter Biden with a lot of inconvenient facts that totally destroy the narrative. Since a lot of people on the left get all their information from CNN, MSNBC or AOC, they probably bought the argument that there was no evidence either Joe or Hunter Biden did anything wrong. They probably also considered the allegation that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election to be just a debunked conspiracy theory. The reality is that there is solid evidence regarding the Bidens and Ukraine literally admitted interfering in the 2016 election. Today, for the first time, Republicans got a chance to make the case on national television. This had to be shocking for at least some people.

Who knows what will happen. We know what should happen, but that would require some element of common sense and consideration of doing the right thing. So far, there is zero evidence Democrats in the House are capable of either. But, there’s the rub. If there are just 18 Democrats in the House who see this for what it is, and vote against this, it will be a humiliating defeat for the DNC..

There are 31 Democrats who won election in districts where Trump won big time. If they vote to impeach this President, for this reason, they should be making plans for alternative work after being voted out of office. The only thing that would save them is the Republican tradition of picking candidates who could lose an election to a fence post.

We are about to learn how many Democrats are actually willing to go on a final suicide mission appropriately named: “Cluster’s Last Stand.” Those foolish enough to participate in this fiasco should do a little research and see that worked out for those who participated in Custer’s Last Stand.

In both cases the defeat would be caused by “Sitting Bull.”
