Moscow Mitch gaslighting right now on CNN accuses democrats of

[applegrove]

breaking the institutions. It is temporary rage that is doing in the US institutions not Trump's aquittal on abuse of power.

[OliverQ]

1. The hypocrisy of Moscow Mitch knows no bounds.

[Roland99]

2. Oh??

[crickets]

4. +1

[Buckeyeblue]

3. Maybe this is smoke and mirrors before Trump is convicted

He needs to be assured he is fine until the very end, so he doesn't order all the nukes to be launched.

[maryellen99]

5. It's not going to happen but I wouldn't be surprised if they promised to acquit him

Then vote to convict. But it won’t happen because they are all, except for Romney, GUTLESS SPINELESS COWARDS.

[Mossfern]

6. Exactly!

But hope springs eternal.

[Buckeyeblue]

7. I know. But you have to wonder why they wouldn't take advantage of this chance

We could be rid of him today, for God's sake. They all hate him. He is an asshole to all of them. They could kick him to the curb. And honestly, I don't think there would be much blow-back. Oh, people would scream for a week or two. But then they'd move on.

[maryellen99]

8. Because they would lose the election with Pence. He has no "star power" like trump does nt

Trumps base would stay home.

[Buckeyeblue]

9. They could nominate someone else

And they wouldn't stay home, because that would give the Democrats a huge mandate.

10. Trump controls the base at 37% of the electorate. He would take his base and start a third

party. Or he would use the 37% to get Don Jr. or Ivanka elected republican nominee in 2024. He will never cede 'his' base back to the Republican Party. The Republicans have to bow down to him for as long as he lives. After all millions of not so well off people have to spend $40 a year buying a $2.50 MAGA hat from Trump making him an actual billionaire.
