CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 31, 2020
AT THE END OF THE IMPEACHMENT AND REMOVAL TRIAL OF PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHAT WILL HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED? IT DEPENDS ON WHICH PARTY YOU BELONG TO AND WHETHER YOU ARE PRO OR ANTI-TRUMP.
IF YOU ARE PRO-TRUMP, YOU WILL FEEL THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN VINDICATED. IF YOU ARE ANTI-TRUMP, YOU WILL SCREAM COVER-UP AND USE THE TRIAL AS A POLITICAL WEAPON, HOPING TO GAIN A SENATE MAJORITY BY DEFEATING SOME OF THE 23 REPUBLICAN SENATORS UP FOR RE-ELECTION.
THIS ENTIRE SCENARIO IS NOT ONLY BORING; IT IS DANGEROUS. AS HAS BEEN NOTED, SOME REPUBLICANS WILL WANT REVENGE AND WILL TRY TO IMPEACH A FUTURE DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT. WHAT WAS INTENDED BY THE FOUNDERS TO BE SOMETHING RARE COULD VERY WELL BECOME COMMON, TO THE DETRIMENT OF OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM.
TOO MANY POLITICIANS DON’T SEEM TO CARE. THEY WANT POWER AND THEY WANT IT NOW. THEY WANT TO CURTAIL THE SUCCESSES THAT KEEP PILING UP FOR THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS NOT SEEN SUCH SUCCESS IN AGES, IF EVER. AND THAT’S THE REAL PURPOSE OF ALL OF THIS. IF THE PUBLIC SEES SUCCESS AFTER SUCCESS FOR REPUBLICAN POLICIES, THEY WON’T NEED DEMOCRATS. UNDERSTAND? I’M CAL THOMAS.
