The day after the senate votes not to convict

[brettdale]

The dems better run attack ads after attack ads, and I mean everything is game.

Someone has the apprentice tapes, play them, what ever they have and it must be a lot,
they cant afford to play nice.

I remember that political movie and the Kathy bates character said something along the lines of
"we must be above them"

I disagree, its time for the dems to play the way trump does, that's the only way you
take down a bully.

1. Except we stick to the truth and they don't. mt

6. good point

if there's one thing I can't and WON'T stand behind, it's a bunch of blatant spin and misinformation. I'm assuming the OP was talking within those kinds of clear boundaries.

13. Thank you

Rethugs lie. We need to beat them mercilessly over the head with the truth.

2. The day after Trump will claim total exoneration.

7. Not only for the impeachment, but for everything he did before his presidency.

Why not? He'll feel he's gotten away with everything he's done as president, so why not go for for the whole enchilada?

The thing is, he might succeed.

We already know that he and the Repugs are going to cheat to get him reelected. I predicted last year that he was going to avoid any debates, and that's the way he's heading. I've never lived in such a corrupt time, and I thought Dubya was bad.

9. He can claim anything he wants - HE'S STILL IMPEACHED.

He's only the 3rd US president to be cast into that little club.

And I hope it's burning a hole in him.

3. It might not/possibly won't even get to a vote to convict or not. It is highly likely

that the GrOPers will introduce a motion to dismiss BEFORE any testimony. A motion to dismiss is not even a vote to convict or acquit, it is short-circuiting the process long before that.

This motion was introduced in the Clinton impeachment, but as the GrOPers had the majority in an impeachment trial of a Democratic POTUS, that motion (requiring a simple majority) failed -- note the contrast that this time it is a GrOPer majority in an impeachment trial of a GrOPer POTUS, but the difference between the two cases will likely not stop them from claiming an equivalance and hiding behind this maneuver as "fair is fair, it was done before" or similar nonsense.

4. Trump will probably request a coronation ceremony.

5. Mark Burnett will never release the Apprentice tapes

He's a faux Christian who, along with NBC, created the image of Trump as a successful businessman. He won't tarnish his creation.

8. The day after the senate votes not to convict...

Trump will press Barr to prosecute Democratic impeachment managers and other perceived enemies. That's where my money would be, if I were a gambler.

[myohmy2]

10. +1

...I totally agree...

...if we don't, we'll be guaranteeing four more years of trump, maybe longer...

...think putin...

...where are the Patriots when you need them?...

[dalton99a]

11. He'll declare the impeachment null and void

And he'll ask the Supreme Court to order records to be expunged

[trueblue2007]

12. i agree. start a go fund me to pay for apprentice tapes !! Someone has the apprentice tapes,

Someone has the apprentice tapes, play them, what ever they have and it must be a lot,
they cant afford to play nice.

and THROW THE MONSTER IN JAIL.

14. Indeed

To beat a bully, you just need to go all 'Ralphie' on him. Reference to ' A Christmas Story' for visual emphasis.
