Newt Gingrich: Pelosi’s Halloween impeachment vote was an enormous strategic defeat – Let me explain
By Newt Gingrich | Fox News The Halloween vote for impeachment was an enormous strategic defeat for Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She admitted seven months ago, in a March 6 interview with The Washington Post, that a purely partisan impeachment vote was wrong and dangerous. She was right. Here are her own words: “I’m not for impeachment. This is news. I haven’t said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this, impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.” Measured by that standard, the Thursday vote was a terrible failure. The House voted in an entirely partisan manner except for two Democrats who split to vote no with the Republicans. Months of leaks, secret investigations, news media hysteria, and a parade of witnesses failed to move a single Republican to vote yes. The so-called whistleblower has decayed into a potential liability so much the Democrats are now talking about never bringing him to testify. Senate Republicans have been so turned off by the House Democrats that Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska, one of President Trump’s more outspoken Republican members, has called their effort “a partisan clown show.” Months of leaks, secret investigations, news media hysteria, and a parade of witnesses failed to move a single Republican to vote yes. read more |

The Impeachment Dog Bites Orange Man Scam
We are asked to believe that the nation is being saved. In fact, some very dirty dogs are biting American voters. Angelo Codevilla. November 1st, 2019. AMERICAN GREATNESS Dogs biting humans being naturally unremarkable, any attempt to convince us to regard accounts of their biting as noteworthy events leads one to ask whether the person advancing that position is ignorant of nature, or is toying with us. By nature, instances of bureaucrats speaking ill of their elected superiors are equally unremarkable and lead us to ask the same questions. For the past month, the Democratic Party and the media (excuse the redundancy) have demanded that the American people be shocked (shocked!) by stories of multiple bureaucrats who express (choose your weapon) “concern,” “dismay,” “abhorrence,” etc. at the mode and substance of President Trump’s communication with Ukraine’s president. The substance of what they had to say about those communications has been by far the lesser part of the story. As each bureaucrat has “come forward,” the Democrats and the media largely have dropped attempts to explain what, exactly, may have been bad about Trump’s communications, and found the officials’ disgust with the president to be sufficient cause for impeaching him. But since bureaucratic disdain cannot lead the Senate to remove Trump from office, impeachment is merely a pretense to lead the American people to pay attention to smears based in no reality beyond the animus of a ruling class frightened by the voters. read more |
