CNN, NYT, Washington Post, MSNBC are all up in arms that the Democrats are not raising the battle flag of impeachment. They say this has all the justifications of Watergate.
But the fact is the Democrats have become gun shy. They've been on this crusade against Trump for 18+ months and there are signs that it is backfiring with electorate. It's got no traction whatsoever. And they are finding themselves locked into one issue and burdened with a moribund economic program against an assertive, nationalist and activist President.
The so called case against Trump, all provided by Cohen, who is now a convicted felon and admitted liar, involves some trivial allegations of campaign irregularities (of which ALL campaigns are guilty).
But there is a more potent, if unadmitted, difference between Nixon and Trump. Nixon was a born loser who was always snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Trump is always in a crisis, he's always on the ropes and he always wins. He is forever snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.
The Dems think they've mortally wounded Trump. But i would not be surprised if he maintains Republican majorities in both houses of Congress. That will mean the Mueller Investigation will end in early 2019 because all of its political momentum will dissipate with that. And it has been nothing but political from the beginning.
