 4 Reasons McConnell’s Terrible Impeachment Blunder Is Doomed To Failure
 
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made a terrible mistake Tuesday night when he released word that he was in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump.

By Christopher Bedford
January 14, 2021

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made a terrible mistake Tuesday night when he released word that he was in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump. This mistake goes well beyond a simple political miscalculation. It is the physical manifestation of Washington Republican hubris, wrapped in a fog of frightened groupthink.

Announced the eve of the House impeachment vote in the pages of The New York Times, McConnell’s plan reportedly rested on the belief that impeaching the outgoing president “will make it easier to purge Mr. Trump from the party.” Published just after the No. 3 House Republican, Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney, announced her intention to vote for impeachment, for a moment it appeared the still-Republican Senate might end up joining with the Democrats after all.

By early afternoon the following day, however, the situation on the ground had changed. By the time the sun set in Washington, only 10 of 195 House Republicans — or about 5 percent — had joined with Democrats. Meanwhile, conservative members of the House had begun whipping support for Cheney’s resignation from leadership; and nervous Republican senators were publicly turning against impeachment. Retreating, McConnell declared he no longer knew which way he would vote, and in a statement suggested the Senate might not be able to take up the trial on time after all.

Mitchypoo thinks throwing Trump under the bus will save his silly ass and the republican party.

Washington Republicans believe the media lies, and most Rats know they're lies and are OK with it.

I can't think of a more dumb move. It's almost as though he doesn't think he'll be held accountable. Wonder why.

McConnell was freshly reelected, which sometimes does wonders for one's political courage.

Mitchypoo cares about two things: 1. Continuing to receive the CHICOM checks 2. Continuing to receive his invites to all the big ISB parties.

Let's not forget that, in all likelihood,  the only legacy of the Trump presidency that will survive are his judicial appointments.   And for that,  thank Mitch McConnell.

How so?  One thing's for sure -  the reason there won't be any more conservative jurists for a very long time is Trump's failure to act presidential.

Holy crap!  Just when I thought I heard the most ridiculous b.s. from you, you come up with another doozie!

This takes first prize of all the b.s. that you've posted to date. Do you come up with this stuff all on your own??

Let me put it differently -  Trump's failure to win reelection will stop in its tracks conservatives'  progress in winning back the federal judiciary.   It may be the single biggest consequence of Biden's victory.   So this all boils down to Trump's failure,  for four years now, to do the basic and simple things needed to move his approval rating over 50%.   We've known for years now that Trump utterly alienates many voters.   Why did he never, ever take steps to address this?

Ah,  the broken record of insults - with no substance behind them - continues.

Sigh.

Why?   Trump had the world as his oyster,  and blew it.   That's a tragedy,  and a huge blow to the progress for conservatives that was being made.

I'm not going to even try to answer that; other than with I've given many explanations and tried to make you understand.

I'll leave it at we just don't see eye to eye.  Certainly don't want to insult you again.

Peace @Jazzhead

No worries, @libertybele .    Most here seem to think Trump was the victim of sinister forces.   But I think it was his own doggone fault.

Based on what we have seen this week, why doesn't some faction of the GOP investigate, encapsulate, present, and bring forth charges against Kamala Harris for her comments inciting BLM / Antifa terrorist last summer? 

Nevermind......  I forgot Captial Hill GOP is a Testicle Free Zone
