Trump Was Willing To Be Impeached Over Finding Anything On Biden

[berni_mccoy]

I will give this to the Biden folks as a case for Biden.

Trump is so afraid of facing him, he was willing to commit impeachable acts to try to discredit him. I think those attempts failed miserably and I think that is also why Trump has been promoting Bernie.

Even though I do not like the attacks people make here against Bernie; even though I still think Warren is the best candidate; I do have to say that Trump seems to be most afraid of Biden.

1. I agree

However, I think Trump would commit impeachable offenses just because he can. He seems to really like breaking the rules just for the sake of breaking the rules.

2. To be fair...

and I do believe that Trump fears Biden the most...

But Trump was going to commit impeachable acts anyway... he simply doesn't care and / or thinks it is perfectly alright to do it (because everyone does it or something).

I mean, you know he thinks it is wrong to do it, else why cover it up...but he simply doesn't care that it is wrong.

11. you got there first.

My first impression (on reading the headline here) ..
If Trump thought at all .. it was that he cold get away with it .. or bully his way through it.

And they targeted Biden for reasons that are glaringly self-evident.
I will hold off on any claims of motivation with Sanders for the moment.

3. I don't think so. He'll pummel Biden with dirt

invented or otherwise.

Honestly, he'll do it to anyone. FWIW, I don't think Biden has what it takes to punch back (except a one-liner). But whoever the nominee is - Trump will find a smear - and his supporters will amplify it.

6. I think you'll be surprised.

Joe seems to have been bidin’ his time for some reason. Maybe not certain, maybe surprised at the venom from all sides, I don’t know. But now he’s got a sense of the country’s support, and it is there, I think he’ll gain more and more energy and presence.

7. Trump has the best (the Russians) at making fake dirt. It is

going to hit Joe so fast I don't think he can defend against it.

8. so many gaffes

4. Trump believes there are no impeachable acts

Any flak for manufacturing dirt on Biden is just incidental in Trump's mind.

But Trump has set himself up for defeat because anything he does find on Biden, legitimate or lab-created, will be seen as transparent lies and ironically FAKE NEWS!

5. Trump has no credibility

He can throw all the dirt he can manufacture and it won't help him one bit. Everyone knows Trump is a crook, a cheat and a liar.

9. It is also possible that Trump has inoculated independents and Dems against any

scandals involving Biden (even true ones) because between Trump's oafish constant lying, perversion of the DOJ, and politicization of intelligence agencies, anything bad which comes out about Biden will be viewed with skepticism as a probable smear-job like the Ukraine stuff. Of course MAGAts will buy all of it, true and false, but they were a lost cause anyway.

10. Absolutely and

Trump tried to fabricate garbage against Joe because the GOP couldn't dig up any dirt on him.
So that is pretty darn good assurance that Joe has been "vetted"

The GOP have been pretty quiet about Bernie as I think he plays more into their scare tactics.

I just don't see Joe losing his home state of PA which makes Trump's path very difficult - even with cheating - Trump pretty much has to run the table on the other battleground states and he's behind Biden the worst in most of them.
