This is a considerably bad strategic error for President Trump, as I shall explain. However, it can be fixed; the question is how. Republicans have always been pussies, despite all the bravado and chest-thumping. The Left is where one finds the knife-fighters. Now desperate, their backs against "The Wall". No one disputes this empirical fact. President Trump, however, is not a Republican. Republicans these days call themselves "Conservatives" or are called "Neo-Conservatives". The Conservatives are linked to Reagan; the Neo-Conservatives to Bush, the Second. Trump is not even a Republican the way that Ronald Reagan became a Republican because in those days every politician in Washington, D.C. was part of the Establishment. President Trump has smashed that status quo. And I was a Yellow Dog Democrat (one who votes only Democrat to the point of voting for a yellow dog, if it were a Democrat). President Trump's Party are what I call Lincoln Republicans. You don't know what that is because it doesn't exist. That leaves just Libertarians, which no one understands or cares about, so Libertarians will always remain a bizarre outlier. There are no other types of Republicans. There is no such thing as an Independent. An Independent is a whacko--like Mike Bloomberg or Sen. Romney. Often, they have a weird look in their eye or their voices tremble.
Pundits such as Conservatives Rush Limbaugh or Laura "ambulance-chaser" Ingraham, who claim to be "so worried" for "President Trump's mental health" (which sounds a lot like never-Trumpers) are actually concerned with lining their own, already fat pocketbooks and telling lies to their own audiences, and influencing the American People for personal gain via their media power. The Left controls its subjects this way.
Rush Limbaugh likes to say that America is not a democracy; but a representative democracy. Thus, We, the People are somehow beneath our Representatives or our governmental institutions--ANY OF THEM. No, that is fake news and won't do at all. We are a Republic of the People, first, by the People, and For the People, and our Representatives--and our entire government--answer to the People. Our Representatives MUST OBEY the People. Our government MUST OBEY the People. (I realize that that may shock some.)
Now is the time to screw your courage to the sticking place and not fail. We should have had the faith and confidence to call witnesses and obtained full justice, and crushed our opponents, not let them escape. There WILL be a second chance, do screw it up again. You see how bad it is now, post-Impeachment. That will get worse. It is better to end that insanity in a full trial than to let it continue.
