CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 10, 2020
A CRACK HAS OPENED IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. SOME SENATE DEMOCRATS HAVE BROKEN RANKS WITH SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI, CALLING ON HER TO SEND OVER THE TWO ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT SO THE TRIAL OF PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN BEGIN. CALIFORNIA SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN IS ONE OF THE MORE SEASONED DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS TO MAKE THE CALL.
BUT SENATE MINORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER CONTINUES TO DEMAND THAT MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL ALLOW MORE WITNESSES IN ANY SENATE TRIAL. MCCONNELL HAS REFUSED BECAUSE HE SAYS NONE ARE NEEDED.
DEMOCRATS HAVE A GROWING PROBLEM. WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO THE IOWA CAUCUSES AND NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARIES. A TRIAL WOULD TAKE SENATORS OFF THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. A CASE CAN ALSO BE MADE THAT THE LONGER THIS DRAGS OUT THE PUBLIC WILL LOSE INTEREST, EXCEPT FOR THE RABID LEFT WING, OF COURSE.
ON THE SENATE FLOOR WEDNESDAY, MCCONNELL SAID “THE SENATE IS NOT A CREATURE OF THE HOUSE.” HE’S RIGHT. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN POLITICAL FROM THE START OF THE ADMINISTRATION AND EVEN AFTER THE 2016 ELECTION. DEMOCRATS HAVE NO ISSUES ON WHICH TO RUN. THIS IS ALL THEY’VE GOT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
