Apparently, Robert Mueller is the only person who has read less of the Special Prosecutor's report on Russian hacking and Trump's collusion in the 2016 election then me. This creates somewhat of a problem for the politicians as they should really talk to the people who actually wrote the report so they can get them to testify about all the evil stuff they actually know about.
But at the end of the day, facts don't really matter. At this point in time, it is all about the Political Theater. Those who want to impeach the President made up their collective minds shortly after November 8, 2016.
If they were hoping Robert Mueller would somehow come down from the mountain with the impeachment indictments etched into stone tablets they must be hugely disappointed.
Life will go on, and as far as I can tell, the democratic candidates will continue to drive away all the moderate independent voters in numbers unseen since the 1972 primaries when the party faithful were asked to choose between 15 different candidates. Eventually, George McGovern, Hubert Humphrey, George Wallace, Edmund Muskie, and Shirly Chisholm secured primary wins. In that campaign, McGovern became the party's candidate but lost the general election to Richard Nixon. It wasn't even close.
The electoral vote totals were 512 for Nixon, 17 for McGovern. The popular vote was 46,740323 for Nixon, and 28,901,598 for McGovern.
Of course, we are a lot more polarized these days, but I don't see, in the current field and with the current agandas, any move to solicit those who are looking for a strong middle of the road choice. At the rate the DNC is moving I'd be surprised if they are even close in the popular vote, but we have a year for them to turn things around and who knows, one of them may find a real issue, just as Bill Clinton did in 1992 when he beat George Bush who had just won a war.
