Senior Republican operatives are confident President Trump will not absorb lasting damage from fresh allegations that he pressured Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden, predicting he might even win over swing voters in 2020 if Democrats initiate impeachment.
Republican strategists are not dismissing the gravity of accusations. They are simply skeptical that the unfolding scandal will hurt Trump with GOP voters any more than did a two-year federal probe into charges that he colluded with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton. Some Republicans even see an upside. Impeachment lacks critical support from voters, yet House Democrats are more likely to pursue removing the president through extra-electoral means, risking a backlash.
And, now they need to point to the Democrats' need to "rush to judgement", as they know once the information comes out, like in Russiagate, they won't look too good, again.
Today's Democrats don't seem to like to discuss, deliberate, or consider information any longer, they simply point, and accuse.
They are desperate to get rid of Trump due to the judicial appointments, and the likely possibility of another SCOTUS appointment that would truly re-shape the Supreme Court in ways the Progressives know will be difficult to use as the tool they've used it for in past decades, and will instead have to Legislate - win over the people.

Pelosi is Speaker today because Democrats put up moderate candidates in 40 vulnerable districts. Who promised to go to Washington to solve people's problems. There was also two years of (yet unexposed) toxic Russia Collusion propaganda. Nine months have gone by without any progress and the Russia accusation has fallen apart. Impeachment will be the kiss of death to re-election chances of ALL 40 of these moderates. Pelosi, Hoyer, Schumer know this.....and so does PDT.

There are at least two ways to look at this:
One is that the Wily Coyote Democrats bought another crate of Acme Political Dynamite, planted it in the media, and are now in high dudgeon (again) to impeach Trump, although knowing that Senate conviction is highly unlikely. And so the story will churn with daily "fresh allegations" and the American public will react with delight or disgust...depending on political persuasion.
Or, second, this was a scandal master stroke by 3-D chessmaster PDT, who set off this phony scandal via some anonymous "whistleblower" knowing the already discredited media would grab the bait and run, joined by their Radical Dem buddies in the House. The story not only "targets" PDT, but the Dem presidential front-runner and only "moderate" in their gaggle of candidates, Joe Biden, AND exposes the money-grubbing corruption of the Obama administration (along with Hillary's perfidy, and there are others). It is also a challenge to Pelosi, who is caught again with a fish-or-cut-bait choice with time running out to act. PDT is once again the victim of falsity and media overexuberance, Joe is trashed, and the Dem gaggle collectively moved further leftward. Who's the "moderate" now? It becomes the party of Bernie and Fauxcahontas, tossing in AOC and her crowd.
Let's watch this show...it may turn out to be the main event, the decisive "scandal" of 2019/20.

Two votes here for Trump. Wife and I do not care if he's a serial killer or even worse, a climate change "denier".

I hope that every “moderate” that votes for impeachment is voted out! Pelosi owes the Republicans big for RINO Boehner taking impeachment off the table for Obongo, when there was many instances of his criminal behavior.

The Dems have been deaf to the roar of the falls for a long time, and now their tippy canoe is going over them. The fact is it is not illegal for one head of state to pressure another, and looking into multi-billion dollar corruption is a lot more justifiable than looking for peeing prostitutes. The idea that Biden has been "cleared" is laughable... who cleared him, was it the prosecutor Joe got installed using our money?
If the Dems rush through an impeachment vote before the full story is revealed (which I suspect they are being goaded into doing), they can kiss 2020 goodbye.
And as for the Republicans who are sitting on their hands, well Trump has a long by memory, and he won't hesitate to help his base remember them after he runs the table and doesn't need their feckless "support" any longer. I'll wager he has people working behind the scenes already, identifying candidates to primary them starting in 2022.

Another fake news episode on the part of the Lamestream Media. This will blow up in their faces, just like other recent fake news events ("Russiagate," "Kavanaughgate," etc.).
Nothing to see here folks, just move along . . .

This is all about covering up the criminal enterprises of their only viable candidate - Joe Biden. It’s all smoke, mirrors and distraction.
