Things have gotten so bad for the failing impeachment hearings that Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell may not even have a trial if the House impeaches President Trump. He may simply have an immediate vote on an acquittal. He and Sen. Lindsey Graham think it’s best to end it quickly. President Trump wants to embarrass the Democrat’s. Things like bringing Adam Shiff under oath on the stand. Jacksjargon supports end it quickly. Give no more credence to this baseless event. TV hearings are a ratings disaster for the Democrat’s. President Trump’s approval rating is now higher than President Obama’s at the same point in their Presidency.

“Impeachment is so destructive to the nation that it has to be overwhelming, compelling and non partisan.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi May 2019. Fact is none of it has happened. Democrat’s forgot to bring a “case.” First it was quid pro quo. Poll tested that wasn’t strong enough. Next Dem.’s switched to obstruction of justice. No proof. How about extortion? When poll tested that failed along with bribery. So at long last they came up with “abuse of power.” Vague enough it might allow give them an excuse to just keep throwing up anything they think might stick. This is one of the few times Republicans have stuck together and defended themselves very well. Nationally only 44% of American’s favor impeachment. Plus in Battle Ground States President Trump beats all Democrat Presidential candidates. In their hearts Democrat’s know Trump will win reelection. Said new entry former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg….”Trump will mop up the floor with all of them.”

So why do it the impeachment thing? Originally it was thought the proceedings would damage the President so severely he could not win reelection. Instead Trump’s poll numbers have increased. The public confidence is way up as wages have increased. Plus, there are more good jobs available than people to fill them. The USA has the lowest unemployment in 50 years. The impeachment issue has failed and Democrat’s want to get rid of it ASAP.

Now here comes Pelosi’s biggest problem. Her paradox so to speak. There is a battle within Democrat House members. 31 Democrat’s won in Districts that the President won by healthy margins. Their reelection is in danger if they vote for impeachment. Some already have had to face chaos at their town hall gatherings back in their districts. A rebellion of sorts. To win impeachment Pelosi needs 217 votes. There are 233 Democrat House members. If 17 of those 31 members vote no to impeachment it will not pass. An enormous rejection after endless televised waste of time hearings. Nobody will know until until the House votes. If it is delayed from next Tuesday it means Pelosi does not have the votes. Not likely. But possible.

Normally Speaker Pelosi can whip those Democrat’s back in line by her well known tactics against those who stray. Things like run a strong candidate against them in their next primary. Well finance this opponent. Also strip them of committees they are on or want to be on. That works normally with a few who stray. But 17? That’s a different story. This the mess she now faces. Some of the straying Dem’s want merely a censure. A slap on the wrist. A disaster after weeks of hearings that proved fruitless. Tactics against a group that large could not only create havoc, but more importantly, cost the Democrat’s the House of Representatives Nov. 2020. The entire case of impeachment has back fired. Pelosi knows it and is beside herself. She will push for new legislation to distract from the mess she is now in.

The President’s rallies are now bigger and more energetic than ever. Polls indicate Trump might receive more than 20% of the Black vote. The swing States are still in Trump’s favor. Sometimes when one hates someone so badly they try too hard. Don’t see themselves as others see them. They go “over the top.” And it shows. This time it does doesn’t just show. It glows.
