Americans are ready to put the Russia hoax behind them. At The American Spectator, David Catron warns Democrats that they should move on from their failed Russia narrative if they want to maintain control of the House. He notes that the president’s rallies are more successful than ever. He writes (abridged):
Congressional Democrats are committing a grave political blunder by continuing to push Russia conspiracy theories and insinuating that Attorney General William Barr is perpetrating a cover-up by complying with the law in his handling of the Mueller report. In addition to the special counsel probe, which produced no evidence of collusion or obstruction of justice by the Trump campaign, there have been two congressional inquiries that also failed to find proof of malfeasance. Several polls conducted since the Mueller probe ended suggest that most Americans believe the President is innocent of wrongdoing and that the Democrats are merely playing politics.
if the Democratic leadership expects to hold their House majority in 2020 — let alone win back the Senate and the White House — they had better come up with a platform that goes beyond, “Trump is the Manchurian candidate.” After two years they have failed to sell the voters on Russian collusion, and William Barr is obviously not engaged in a cover-up.
The President’s successes are mounting up and his rallies are more successful than ever.
He will still be here in 2020 and he is already defining the Democrats as the party of politicized investigations and socialism. The voters are increasingly inclined to agree.
