Thanks, Ralph 454
Politicians are so firmly locked into their old delusions and bigotries that they are ruining their own careers. This is GOOD.
(1) EU leaders are continuing to spew volcanic curses on Trump and nationalism. They forget that a definite majority of their own people are even MORE FIRMLY opposed to migration than Trump is. Politicians who spit on their own people don't hold power easily.
(2) USA Democrats are pushing hard toward impeachment. What are they thinking? Didn't they see what happened when Repoofs tried to impeach Clinton in 1998?
Impeachment DOESN'T WORK AND CAN'T WORK. When the Const was written in 1787, the founders stupidly believed that politics without parties was a good idea. The VP was supposed to be the guy who lost the election, so you could bring in a different "faction" by removing the P. That didn't last long. Since 1800 both have been chosen together by the winning party, which means that impeaching the P gives you the VP of the same party. Why would you want to do that?
Do the Dems think they can raise money by making noise about impeachment? That worked for the Repoofs in 1998 but it won't work now. Whether you like Trump or not, his primary and general victories PROVED that money is no longer the most important factor. He beat 16 Repoofs with near-zero money, and beat Hillary with comparatively small spending.
If you want to win now, you need to present a convincing argument to working-class Americans that you can SERVE THEIR INTERESTS, not the interests of Goldman or Soros or Saudi or Mexico or China or "gender fluids".
And that's an EXTREMELY GOOD THING.
