Impeach watch: The World-Historical Dud

At The Hill, Liz Peek snarks: “Is there a law against boring people to death?” If there were, Democrats could be indicted for initiating “such a profound undertaking, the overturning of an American election,” only to yield such a “dramatic dud.” Why do the proceedings make for such lame TV? Because House Democrats engineered the whole thing “in such a way as to render the partisan outcome predictable.” Along the way, they also undercut their “own effectiveness by leaking every interesting snippet that was damaging to the president.” The result: “By the time the full House and the country got to hear the charges against the president, during endless hours of debate, most Americans had already heard the flimsy facts of the case and were becoming less impressed by the day.” And that was all before the repeat act in the upper chamber left most senators “insensate.”

President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina told The Washington Post that Democrats’ 2020 nominee “will be broke.” For Democrats, Issues & Insights’ Thomas McArdle asks, could there be “anything more horrifying?” It’s an especially daunting financial picture for the left, since, like Obama, President Trump has “unique abilities to electrify voters who were uninvolved” before he came on the scene.
