The Groundswell

If you follow the mainstream media, you would think that the only issue of importance in America is the possible impeachment of President Trump.  We went for two plus years during which it was Russia, Russia, and more Russia and this was to be the basis for the end of the Trump presidency.  it was silly, but it was the non-stop narrative put forward by the media and the Democrats.  Then we got the Mueller Report as well as the conclusions of the Senate and House committees.  There was no collusion.  The only campaign involved with the Russians was the Clinton campaign that paid $13 million to have its agents buy false info from the Russians and compile it into the phony Trump Dossier.  That should have ended talk of impeachment, but it didn't.  The media is still talking about it non-stop.  The Democrats are still busy calling for it.  Roughly half of the Democrats' presidential candidates for 2020 are calling for impeachment.  There's no evidence of any basis for impeachment, but they're still pushing for it.

All of this gives rise to a basic question:  is the a groundswell of support for impeachment among the American public?  Over the weekend, there were rallies organized in more than 150 locations across the country calling for impeachment.  That's a huge effort.  The turnout, however, was so huge.  On average, these rallies drew about 20 people each.  That's 3000 people nationwide.  By contrast, the Trump rally scheduled for tomorrow in Florida already has 150,000 people who have requested tickets for admission to a venue that only holds 25,000 or so.  It's not fair to compare the specific numbers, but these attendance figures do tell us that essentially no one across the country is supporting impeachment while enormous numbers of people support the President.

The Democrats and the media are wasting their time and the time of the American people with all the talk of impeachment.  We know it.  Even worse, the media and the Democrats know it.  And yet they persist.  It seems as if the Democrats have nothing to offer the country but Trump hatred and crazy socialist schemes which would destroy the economy.  There's no groundswell for impeachment.  Quite the contrary, the reaction from the public is just a big yawn.

If the proof is put forward regarding the spying by the Dems on the Trump campaign and people like Clapper, Brennan and Comey get indicted, one has to wonder how the public will react to all of that.
