The Democrats have bored America with endless arguments that I am
sure they do not even believe themselves. They are not attempting to convince
the Senate. They are trying to convince the American people that President
Trump is evil and therefore, should not be reelected. They know President Trump
will not be convicted, so what else could their motivation be? The problem is
nobody is watching. The ratings were dismal on Wednesday and then dropped from
dismal to abysmal on Thursday.
My advice to the president’s
defense team: announce today that your opening remarks will take two hours or
less. Include a statement that the Democrats case is so weak that no more time
is needed. That once the American people hear the truth, they will be disgusted
with the do-nothing Democrats. This television "teaser" will
spike the ratings for the Trump defense team.
Then just focus on the obvious
facts that disprove the House's case. There is no such thing as obstruction of
congress when the President follows the constitutional process of appealing to
the courts. This matter should take five minutes. As for the abuse of power
accusation, maybe an hour will be required, but no more. The transcripts were
released which proved there was no verbal offer of a quid-pro-quo, the
President of Ukraine did not know anything about the arms shipments being
withheld and never felt pressure. Furthermore, the weapons were delivered in
the timeline prescribed by Congress. There is corruption in Ukraine and the
president was protecting our tax money. Five minutes could be used to
humorously mention that the Democrats are reaching back to the Mueller probe of
Russian collusion because they know they have no case on the two articles of
impeachment they put forth. But, there is no need to contest any Muller or
Russia points raised, they are not included in the articles of impeachment the
Senate will rule on. Finally, play the video of Joe Biden bragging about how he
bribed the Ukrainians to fire a government official and the video of Hunter
Biden's 20/20 interview.
If the Democrats wanted to
convince the American people, they should have laid out a compelling case in a
concise manner. One pound of understandable facts contains much more persuasion
than ten-thousand pounds of horse manure. I only hope the defense team does not
take the bait to argue every unsubstantiated accusation made by the Democrats.
If that is the case, the American people will not know what to believe.
One more suggestion. Be serious
but also lighthearted (a balancing act for sure, but necessary, err to the side
of seriousness). For a few moments, act as though this is nothing more than a
crazy political stunt because the Democrats have no other way to beat President
Trump. A mention that the Democrats have already announced plans to keep
impeaching until the cows come home will bolster this point and could be a preemptive
strike against the next round of impeachment. But do it in a friendly, likable
manner. The House Managers did not score any points for likability and
likability counts. Remember, you (the defense team) are talking to the American
people as well as the Senate.
Less is more. Case closed.
