How can the Democrats beat Trump, when they can't beat Hope Hicks? [View all]

The Hicks hearing was pathetic. First of all, The Democrats should have known she would not answer any questions. It should have been an open hearing so the American people could see Hicks not answer questions. They could see how she acted and reacted to questions. She beat the Democrats making it a closed door hearing.

Then Hicks walked into the hearing, Told the Democrats, I will not answer any questions and there is not a dam thing you can do about. Who are the Democrats going to call next, not to answer questions behind closed doors? The Democrats do not look serious and they are looking weak. Hope Hicks kicked their asses.

Nadler, after the hearing, head down, stuttering, looking helpless and defeated.

If the Democrats do not change, if they don't start taking extreme ,drastic action against Trump. I believe Trump will eat them alive and win re-election.

Why hasn't Mueller been subpoenaed ? Mueller should have been subpoenaed the day after Barr lied about his report. What the fuck are they waiting for? It does not make sense. Even Schiff said time is getting short. Well, Fucking subpoena him.

The Democrats need to go to court in order to get people to testify. I do not believe they have done that yet in some cases. What are they waiting for? The Democrats are not slow walking this investigation, they are crawling this investigation.

Trump is in the process of over throwing our Government. our constitution and our rule of law. The Democrats are not ready to impeach, they are worried about the election. Fuck that. It is time for the democrats to get serious before it is too late.

I have been trying to remain positive. That ended today with the disgusting weak display I saw today,

I am proof the Democrats are starting to destroy the moral of their voters. I know I am not alone, there are many Democrats who feel the same way I do.

I agreed with Pelosi in building case against Trump. That ended today. Trump is blocking everything. You cannot build a case if everyone tells you to go fuck yourself and not answer questions.

If the democrats do not start taking drastic action soon. I believe Trump will win the election. He looks strong and the Democrats look weak. Trump will take full advantage of it.
