The GOP talking point is that Clinton somehow colluded with Russia to, I’m not quite sure...it gets confusing… … um … … elect Trump?
Imagine if Clinton had actually done what Trump did? Imagine if she had gone all in to leverage the force of a government and all of its spy and communications resources to win an election.
Imagine if she had used the CIA.
Imagine if she had used the FBI.
Imagine if she had used the IRS.
Imagine if she had used the NSA.
Trump used the Russian equivalents.
If Clinton had done that, I would be all in for a full investigation and impeachment.
Because patriotism means country over party and right is right and wrong is wrong.
But Clinton didn’t do that. She ran a traditional campaign. And Obama decided to keep quiet about suspicions of what Trump was doing to win because Mitch McConnell promised to turn the issue nuclear.
Yeah. We see you Mitch. You’re toast.
So, sure, it might have been unprecedented that a normally routine campaign ops investigation extended into an international realm. But it was unprecedented because what Trump was willing to do to win was without precedent. It was distinctly unAmerican.
And the GOP knows this. The longer they back Trump the dirtier it gets.
But, of course, it is already extraordinarily dirty.
I don’t know the road ahead. But I’m guessing it isn’t very pretty.
Stay strong. Believe in the promise of America. Rise up if need be. This is bigger than a single election. This is the future of everything we were raised believing was true and noble about our country.
