Have You Ever Supported Donald Trump?
Have you ever supported Donald Trump? A lot of people have but some might be gone with the wind. In November Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, “Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future?”
No worries, AOC, people are archiving away. The archivers include the never Trump Republicans of The Lincoln Project. They’re busy filling up a database with the names of former Trump staffers. The WSJ editorial page calls it a blacklist.
The Accountability Project is also hard at work. Former Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan tweeted, “WH staff are starting to look for jobs. Employers considering them should know there are consequences for hiring anyone who helped Trump attack American values.”
Erase the Legacy of Donald Trump
“Kimberly Strassel lamented in the WSJ that rather than “embrace his legacy” Donald Trump embraced “his own grievances”… “He declared the Georgia Senate races ‘illegal and invalid,’ discouraging voting”… ” Mr. Trump is leaving, and thanks to his final denial of reality, Mr Schumer will now methodically erase his policy history.”” – CB
Trump Dumped on His Way out the Door
The U.S. House of Representatives voted to dump Trump on his way out the door. Ten Republicans joined all the Democrats in a 232 – 197 vote to impeach the president for “inciting insurrection.”
Trump will Leave White House One Way or Another
President Trump will leave the White House within 7 days one way or another. Passions run high about his remaining options.
The WSJ editorial page wants him to resign. Nancy Pelosi demanded that Mike Pence invoke the 25th amendment. But Pence said no – the same answer he gave when Trump pressured him to overturn the election. Now Pelosi wants a second Trump impeachment.
A Monday Quinnipiac survey found that 89% of Democrats want Trump frogmarched now. But 87% of Republicans are opposed. And 73% of Republican still believe there was “widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.”
If a big chunk of the population thinks the election was illegitimate what will they think of impeachment?
But if he’s not impeached does that mean loser presidents get a free pass from election day to inauguration day?
Orderly Transfer of Power Following Trump Insurrection
Donald Trump promised an orderly transfer of power after flushing his accomplishments along with his last shred of credibility. But it may not matter. Pelosi called for yet another impeachment unless the cabinet invokes the 25th amendment. The WSJ called for him to spare us that ordeal by resigning.
