Imagine being a Democrat right now. You have the House, and the
Republican majority in the Senate is small. In the race for the
presidency, you have every advantage with the exception of incumbency.
Yes, the economy is booming but there isn’t a mainstream media or
cultural institution that isn’t on your side and willing to anything to
help you win. All you have to do is not act crazy and you’re 99 percent
of the way home. And that’s the problem, there are no longer any sane
Democrats.
The House hearing with Robert Mueller on Wednesday was supposed to be
their shining moment, their chance to rally the country to their thus
far rejected cause. Instead, it was another in a long line of flops.
After watching it, I wanted to call a hotline to, as I put it in my
podcast, report a shameless display of elder abuse.
It’s
true that Mueller didn’t want to be there, but it appears everyone was
wrong about the reason why. He’s not “above the fray,” as he was
portrayed by liberals, he’s lost a lot of steps. Most shockingly, the
hearing exposed that he was, at best, barely involved in the
investigation. He was a name to put on the letterhead to give it
gravitas and the appearance of bipartisanship.
The hearing left those who watched it with the realization he was an
autopen to sign off on subpoenas, letters, and the final report. I’d
feel pity for him were there not so much destruction in his wake. No
matter how many steps he’s lost, he knew he was driving people into
bankruptcy chasing a unicorn and he sat there, silently, hammering
paychecks.
But Mueller’s embarrassing testimony wasn’t the only problem
for Democrats. They had to polish that turd, no matter what. This was
their moment in the sun.
Democrats are running out of silver bullets to take out President Trump.
First, they thought he’d implode. He didn’t. They said he’d destroy the
economy, it’s thriving. They swore he colluded with Russia. He didn’t.
The promised the Mueller report would change minds. It didn’t. They
switched their focus to obstruction of justice. No one cared.
