During his monotonous two-hour rehashing of the case against the president, Democratic House Manager Adam Schiff argued that if president Trump is allowed to run for president this year, “we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won.” That’s right, nine months out from election day Schiff and the Democrats are laying the groundwork to call a Trump second term illegitimate, just as have they done for the entirety of the first term.
“The President's misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won,” lead impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff says during his opening statement at the Senate impeachment trial. https://t.co/14mXcvjVzh pic.twitter.com/F2OZhLYx7v

Remember the good old days, back in 2016 when there was no chance Hillary Clinton could lose and the only question was whether angry Trump voters, or even Trump himself would accept the outcome of the free and fair election? Boy did that narrative bust. Instead, the exact opposite happened. Trump won and it is the Democrats who now express grave concerns about the sanctity of our election results.
However ludicrous, Schiff’s statement is the necessary extension of the Democrats’ logic in bringing the case so quickly, without waiting for witnesses. And as it seems extremely likely the senate acquits Trump, then the same “emergency circumstances” will exist that caused the rush to impeach in the first place. Schiff is flat out telling voters that if Trump is not removed from office they should question the fairness of the outcome of the next election.
This is the corner the Democrats have painted themselves into. The Mueller investigation failed, this impeachment has failed to gain bipartisan support or even anything approaching a strong polling majority, and now when the impeachment trial inevitably fails, they will resort to arguing that their thwarted efforts have rendered the upcoming election corrupt.
This is the madness in all of this. A dispute in the White House as to whether to put a temporary hold on a foreign aid package that was released by the deadline has turned into a vast conspiracy that will the undermine the most important election in America. It is a deranged theory.
The excuses have started early for the Democrats. As their dull-as-a-doornail presidential primary prattles on with no candidates gaining wide and excited support, they are already preparing for the worst: a Trump win. They are already starting to question its validity.
But the American people are not stupid. They know an acquittal of Trump would in no way, shape or form undermine the November election. Instead, under the guise of defending our democracy, it is Schiff and the Democrats calling it illegitimate.

Adam Schiff IS a deranged, power hungry individual. He’s completely forgot the “checks and balances” set by the Constitution. He’s deranged to think that the House has the say, thru the State Department on how the USA will conduct their “money laundering” foreign affairs. He’s deranged to think that He and he alone will tell the USA who will and will NOT be the President.
Adam Schiff may talk a good game about the Constitution, law and order, fairness and national security, but he could care less. There are a few that are bound and determined to force the complete takeover change of this USA set in motion by the Obama Administration and to completed by Hilary. This “coup” will go on until November. Only way to stop Mr. Schiff “coup theatre” is to either have his district kick him out in November as well, or bring this lying, law breaking “swamp creature” in front of a judge to tell everyone why he felt HE should be King or Dictator. Why he felt HE was above the law.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD HELP THE USA!
Thank You! WELL SAID! He has to be DETHRONED!!!
Now wasn’t it Obama in a national press conference who said that US elections could not be hacked or tampered with because they were too wide spread and not coordinated one with another? I am in awe of Congressman Schiff’s predictive powers. Here we are nine months from the next presidential election and the Congressman is already predicting a win for President Trump. I too have predictive powers. I predict that Congressman Schiff will not be reelected.

Excuse me, Ms. Klobuchar, GOP Senators WOULD be defending the Constitution by NOT voting for more witnesses.
House is supposed to do the investigation. Get all the witnesses and documents at THAT time BEFORE articles of impeachment are done. And they need to actually vote to impeach first BEFORE they start investigating too. Shame on Schiffy.
Senate is the Jury that accepts documents and witness statements with a Judge to answer any questions on the proceedings.
Oh and BTW, President HAS something called “executive privilege” so he can say NO to certain witnesses. If you don’t know what “executive privilege” is, just research Obama. He used it all the time. Called it his “pen and phone”.
That’s the Constitutional way. And you want to be President and don’t know that? Wow, you must be a Democrat Socialist.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD HELP THE USA!
