Do this if you really want to save Trump from impeachment - Steve Deace

[EC]

I’m going to give those claiming they want to save President Trump from a potential impeachment the benefit of the doubt, although at times like these I seriously wonder whether such benefit should be extended.

I mean, when someone like myself, who didn’t even vote for Trump, seems more earnest in salvaging his presidency than those who shill for him, I have to wonder if some of these people really care about the country. Or do they just want the show (see that as clicks)?

Because advising Trump to fire independent counsel Robert Mueller is arguably the single dumbest strategic advice I’ve ever heard. Beyond it dragging Trump into a credibility war he cannot possibly win versus a man with an impeccable service record (whom the Trump administration appointed in the first place), it also incentivizes Trump to do more of why he has a historically low approval rating.

It’s the political equivalent of telling a friend trying to kick a meth habit, and struggling through withdrawal, to just take a little tweak to tide him over. (When that “little tweak” is what led him to being a junkie in the first place.)

But there is something Trump can absolutely do to make this all go away — at least in the minds of anyone who would even entertain ever voting for him. And he can do it right now, before Mueller issues a single subpoena or conducts a single deposition.

Trump can take a page out of the playbook of his old friends, the Clintons, when they were besieged by scandal, and simply govern well.

Back then, we caught a president committing a crime on tape. Yet most Americans simply shrugged and said, “Why should I care more than his wife does?” They did so because we were in the midst of a robust economic recovery, primarily fueled by the dot.com boom, when the economy was growing three times the current rate.

In other words, the people didn’t want to rock the boat while things were going well. That is especially so since that Al Gore guy would then take over, and he actually believes that crazy economy-killing environmentalist wacko stuff Bubba only paid lip service to.

if Trump just does what he promised to do – repeal Obamacare, cut taxes, protect the border, and kill lots of terrorists – names like Comey and Mueller will simply pass into the Netherrealm of the comments sections of the lefty blogosphere. The rest of America will simply shrug their shoulders and say, “They’re all crooks anyway, but this one at least leaves me alone and kills the bad guys before they kill us.”

Exactly what I said yesterday. A good offense is a good defense. Start doing something positive Trump that will force the democrats to go on defense.

Heck even Ann the cheerleader Coulter is considering abandoning the ship.

Bingo. 

But that'll never happen.  There's too much of the thin-skinned paranoiac in Trump.

The ONLY problem with that is that it requires the aid of the REPUBLICAN congress and that will not be forthcoming!

I thought he was going to unilaterally make Mexico pay for it.  That's what he said he would do during the campaign.

But I will make such great deals, I am the greatest deal maker. I always win, look here is my book (The art of the deal). My book, such a great book, is the second greatest thing since that other book (something about envy)....

Clinton was blessed with a press that had his back.  The only interest in Trump's back the press has today is finding the best spot to stick a knife in.

All the more reason why Trump should not be giving in to the temptation of responding tit for tat.

He certainly has been chumming the waters.

And then acts so surprised when the sharks show up.  Go figure.

I would remind him Captain Quint of The Orca spent most of the movie Jaws chumming the waters.  The shark ended up eating the boat and the Captain.

Mr. Trump isn't going to be impeached.

I posted this once already and I'll post it again:

Any House Republican that votes for impeachment is also writing his/her political obituary.

Any Senate Republican that votes for conviction will be doing the same.

[corbe]

    I agree @Fishrrman trying to Impeach Trump will bring everyone together, on the right, like his campaign only Dreamed would happen during the Primaries.

He gets the support of the

" and I'm not going to take it anymore. " crowd.

in reality, impeachment would need to flip a lot of Republican votes and they have majorities in the House and Senate. It would be an exercise in futility.
