No Battle Plan Survives Contact With the Enemy
Why House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s impeachment gambit will fail.
This week, House Democrats moved to begin an impeachment inquiry into the Trump administration. Specifically, into a call he made to the Ukrainian President in July.
It is possible that this move, a long-time coming and certain to excite liberal progressives still smarting from the underwhelming, anti-climactic end of the Mueller investigation, has already paid in dividends for Pelosi and her Democratic caucus.
But it is also possible that this latest Democratic plan, while brilliant on its own merits, might have inadvertently gone awry.
And played directly into the hands of the enemy.
Pelosi’s Big Blunder?
What do progressive hard-liners like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and the Justice Democrats who funded her campaign have in common with Donald Trump?
They both want to put hard-line progressives at the front and center of the Democratic Party.
That’s two radical factions, working together to slice up the middle. Hard-line progressives have an agenda that will alienate most moderate voters. They are hard-liner because in their stated goals it is liberal progressive all the way, or the highway.
