And precisely what Trump wants.
Pelosi isn't stupid. She knows the game and she knows what impeachment proceedings do – especially during election year.
Trump has been calling the Mueller investigation a witch hunt, and when it was concluded with barely anything tangibly there he was, in many peoples view, vindicated. Imagine now they open up impeachment proceedings. When the majority of the US doesn't want it. When it would take away all attention from the Democratic nominees and keep American media and population focused on an impeachment trial that he would, once again, call a witch hunt. And most likely, nothing will come out of that except give him and the Republicans ammunition.
Some have pointed out that during the 2016 the news media effectively gave Trump so much free air time that they, indirectly, helped him win. This will happen again, mark my words. And all because they couldn't wait until the actual election.
And what pisses me off the most is how time and time and time again the Democrats, the never trumpets, anyone who is critical of trump is perpetually understimating him and thinking he is some sort of doofus. A man who's been around show business for decades. Who pallied around with big wigs in media for decades. Who knows how to play them like a fiddle and lead them like a pied piper.
My God, all he needs to do is make one incitive tweet and the media, predictebly, goes berserk. Are the ICE raids talked about? Naw. Are the radical changes to our asylum rules talked about? Naw. What is talked about is him telli g the squad to go back to where they came from because they hate America. Forcing the Democrats to politically align with and defend the four people that are at this point absolutely notorious and noxious to the party.
So bloody sad. We could and should do better.
