A Flop or Potential Flips

Does any rational person understand the “why?” of these impeachment shenanigans?  At this point in this game, it seems that the Dems have lost it. For the most part they are acting like prepubescent teenagers . . . historic pens for all! marching the articles of impeachment over to the Senate! Beyond melodramatic to say the least. Of course these dramatics are all for show, and I am sure that Pelosi, et al are getting plenty of airtime on MSNBC as well as the anti-Sanders CNN, however this is hearsay, as I do not watch either of them. Will this charade be a big flop?

The way I see it, there are two options when faced with “why?”:

-They are all infected with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) which must be like an extremely communicable disease on the left side of the aisle, and the TDS has affected their ability to think clearly.                                                                    

Or

-They actually have a realistic plan; not a plan to beat Donald Trump in 2020, but rather a plan to try to take over the Senate. In order to take control of the Senate in 2020, they have to flip four seats if Trump is re-elected. Only three seats if President Trump is not re-elected. When the impeachment voting takes place in the Senate, the Dems hope to capitalize on the “No” votes of those Republican Senators who are up for re-election. They then hope that this “No” vote will fire up the Dem’s base, enough so that the turnout will be such that they can flip this seat. 

On the other hand, if any of those Republican Senators who are up for re-election, vote in favor of impeachment, they will be persona-non-grata in those states which support Trump, and thus the Dems might feel that they have a chance to flip these present Republican Senate seats. This assumes that the Dems have a plan and the wherewithal to follow through on it.                                       

Who are these Senators that might be susceptible to being flipped? According to the Cook Political Report, three Republican Senators are in a “toss-up” contest. These “toss-ups” are McSally-AZ, Collins-ME, and Gardner-CO. There are also two Senate races that lean Republican, but are not likely Republican at the point. These are an open seat in Kansas, and Tillis-NC. if all five of these Senate seats were to go to the Democrats, it would be most likely the Dems would take over control of the Senate . . . assuming, of course, that no present Democrat Senator gets flipped. (There is one Democrat “toss up,” Jones-AL, and one  present Democrat Senate seat contest that is rated as “leaning” Democrat, Peters-MI.).               

What I look for in September and October, 2020 is a lot of Democrat money being spent in Maine, Arizona, Colorado, and Alabama and likewise look for frequent Trump rallies in these same states. If the Republicans can retain control of the Senate, then Mr. Trump will continue to advance his agenda, especially with regard to his judicial appointments. If the Democrats retain control of the House, and also are able to win control of the Senate, look for another impeachment of Trump fiasco, probably in 2022!
