Rex Murphy: Time was elections decided things. Apparently Trump’s foes think they know better

The second act of the long-running and fretfully plotted Donald Trump impeachment melodrama is on. The networks are full of it. The clack of punditry is at full volume. It’s historic, says Nancy Pelosi, and then as suits an infallibly historic occasion, hands out souvenir pens, and to certify its solemnity, goes on Bill Maher’s talk show. I suppose if the same atmospherics were the rule nearly 80 years ago, Franklin D.

The vote decided who governed, as it decided who opposed, until the next election, and barring some serious upheaval or blatant corruption — the “high crimes and misdemeanours” cited in the constitution —an elected president was permitted to function. Donald Trump is presumed to be a unique case. The losers, Hillary Clinton’s hard-core managers, have never accepted he won, or could have won by means other than some fantasy of theirs that Russia engineered his victory. This kind of thinking would never be applied in the opposite case.

The Trump impeachment is so very like the response to Britain’s referendum vote on leaving the European Union. That too, to the losers, had the same dynamic: the right people thought the wrong side had won, and they were determined, by delay, obstruction, and sermonizing, to overthrow it. They almost did.

Rex Murphy is a clown; if the evidence is not there to impeach, let them present the evidence, go through the trial, and then based on what has been presented make a decision.

Rex he is a crook and impeachment is the only democratic way of getting rid of a president

Impeachment is democratic in 🇺🇸. The House of Representatives and Senate, elected democratically by the people have the power to remove the President from office for gross abuses of power, for which realDonaldTrump is surely guilty. tr*ump's foes, we do know better, we will win!

Yes. It's political nonsense, & as Shakespeare wrote 'Much Ado About Nothing'. Impeach the impeachers, who are wasting time, money, priorities on a trivial matter, but ignoring the really important issues. Insanity.

I’ll post some comment or other here so Rex can still measure his relevance. Sit Rex, sit.

The constitution also allows for congress to sanction or remove a President who commits crimes in office. Your take is hot garbage as usual.

Rex your apparent understanding of the process just started today is shocking, considering you want to be see as a expert... or is it a simple regurgitation of what your new 🇺🇸 ownership told you to attach your name to?

Oh, I see, Rex. You think it's OK to let a president stay in office and continue to abuse his power and many of his constituents. I'm not interested in what you have to say anymore, Rex.

Impeachment is not about challenging the legitimacy of an election. It's about the conduct of the President while in office. If you can't grasp that important distinction, or acknowledge Trump's misfeasance, then Rex, time to hang up you pen, find a park bench, and feed pigeons.

Meanwhile winning on many fronts

Is Rex honestly suggesting there should be no check on presidential power because elections exist

Time was when elections weren’t influenced by foreign powers, and our “elected” representitives weren’t in the pockets of corporations.

Trump's 'foes' are the Republic's foes and the Constitution's foes...been that way since 1913...
