The Establishments war on Donald Trump Title: Trump Will Win in 2020 *Because* of Impeachment Anyone doubting this last point should peruse this article from the BBC about Trump’s recent Minnesota rally: “The centre of the city is a bobbing sea of red and white. The slogan is on t-shirts: Women for Trump, Pilots for Trump, Cops for Trump.” This was in Minneapolis, mind you, just after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the Democrats would launch an “impeachment inquiry” into the president’s purported misdeeds. They weren’t impressed by Pelosi’s decree: “If anything, it has galvanized the thousands of supporters some of whom queued for days to be at the front of the Target Center crowd.” USA Today reports a very similar phenomenon: Imagine what these rallies will be like after House Democrats impeach him and he is acquitted in the Senate. Trump will repeatedly remind his supporters that, after two partisan witch hunts perpetrated by unscrupulous antagonists with little regard for evidence and less for ethics, he is still standing and ready to take on any challenger the Democrats nominate. Moreover, he will hang the embarrassingly inept Mueller investigation and the inevitable implosion of impeachment around the neck of that unfortunate candidate. Trump will force him to explain why the Democrats wasted two years in the House and accomplished nothing but failed attempts to oust him. The 2020 Democratic nominee will be Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, or Bernie Sanders. All of these people have called for Trump’s impeachment. Two of the three are, inconveniently, members of the upper chamber of Congress that will eventually acquit him. If Biden is the nominee, the president will remind voters that the former VP is on video bragging about doing exactly what he calls an impeachable offense in Trump’s case — threatening to withhold aid to Ukraine in a quid pro quo arrangement. Ironically, impeachment is actually a blessing in disguise for the Trump campaign. Robert Reich, Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration, writes in the Guardian: What Reich means is that Trump is stealing a march on them while congressional Democrats waste their time on impeachment, and half a dozen megalomaniacs are still participating in a magical mystery tour in which people like Beto O’Rourke, Cory Booker, Andrew Yang, Julian Castro, Pete Buttigieg, and Tom Steyer pose as presidential candidates. While all these second- and third-stringers try to bring Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, or Bernie Sanders down a peg, Adam Schiff is holding secret interrogations of various Trump officials past and present and leaking out-of-context quotes that have far more to do with public relations than impeachment. All of this nonsense plays into President Trump’s hand during a time of peace and prosperity. Trump is bringing troops home from abroad, and the most recent jobs report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics was full of good news: “In September, the unemployment rate declined by 0.2 percentage points to 3.5 percent. The last time the rate was this low was in December 1969, when it also was 3.5 percent.” Hispanic unemployment fell to 3.9 percent, a record low, and black unemployment is at an all time low of 5.5 percent. Is this news reaching voters? In North Carolina, which will be an important 2020 swing state, a new poll suggests that it does indeed: This is a state poll, of course, and thus more useful than the national surveys typically discussed in the media. The 2020 election, like all presidential contests, will involve 51 separate races (50 states, plus D.C.). Few will be decided based on a partisan impeachment process that ends in the acquittal of the president. Nor will a majority of voters in the important swing states be inclined to support a weak candidate nominated by a fragmented party whose only consistent principle is animosity toward Donald Trump. In the end, the choice will be peace and prosperity versus incoherent rage. Trump’s voters will be out in force and will choose the former.

Even the Democrats are shaking their heads at the impeachment boondoggle. Not a good look going into the Election. It is so patently obvious that their only campaign is the constant harrassment of Trump.
