Trump always seems to have good fortune in his adversaries:
House Democratic leaders sparred internally on Monday over whether to begin an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her allies rejecting the call to move forward for now, according to multiple sources.
Reps. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Joe Neguse of Colorado — all members of Democratic leadership — pushed to begin impeachment proceedings during a leadership meeting in Pelosi’s office, said the sources. Pelosi and Reps. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, Hakeem Jeffries of New York and Cheri Bustos of Illinois — some of her key allies — rejected their calls, saying Democrats’ message is being drowned out by the fight over possibly impeaching Trump.
Raskin — a former law professor — said he wasn’t advocating impeaching Trump but suggested that opening an impeachment inquiry would strengthen their legal position while allowing Democrats to move forward with their legislative agenda.
Pelosi dismissed this argument, asking Raskin whether he wanted to shut down the other five committees working on Trump investigations in favor of the Judiciary Committee.
“You want to tell Elijah Cummings to go home?” Pelosi quipped, referring to the chairman of the Oversight and Reform Committee.
And in a Democratic Steering and Policy Committee meeting, Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee stood up and demanded Trump’s impeachment. Pelosi then countered, “This is not about politics, it’s about what’s best for the American people,” said a member who attended the meeting.
Go here to read the rest. Pelosi can’t hold her horses. The dominant wing of the Democrat Party, the increasingly loony Left, will cause an impeachment vote in the House, which will pass, by the end of the year. Trump will go on to win the trial in the Senate. This will enrage Trump supporters, while Democrats will be depressed by the failure of their attempted coup. The Democrats will then go to the people in 2020 with their sole major accomplishment being the impeachment of Trump followed by his acquittal in the Senate. Trump will rampage around the nation bellowing against the do nothing Congress. Politics, like war, is so much easier when your adversaries give you a hand.
Seems like Elijah Cummings will be going home anyway if the accusations against him and his wife get any traction.
Trump Derangement Syndrome was invented by Satan to blind simple-minded people like Adam Schiff, Maxine Watters,. . . .just about every liberal lunatic [redundant].

Julius Caesar was always lucky too. Until he wasn’t.
Romney will vote to convict.
“Trump will go on to win the trial in the Senate. This will enrage Trump supporters, while Democrats will be depressed by the failure of their attempted coup.”
During the Clinton impeachment the stock market went up—meaning the market thought he would win. Same could happen for Trump which would only add to the Democrats misery.
Since it takes a two-thirds vote to convict, I doubt if Romney would, but I would put nothing past the vain weather-vane.
Julius Caesar was always lucky too. Until he wasn’t.
If Trump met Caesar’s fate the sequel would be the same: Civil War. What an appalling time in American history to be alive.
