When you can’t govern and your future is in the hands of Bob Mueller, what else is there to do except have a road trip like the one in Animal House. And that’s exactly what we have here, an Animal House presidency.
As Bluto asks in the movie, “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”
Details and facts—who needs them?
Trump does know one thing. He knows his base and he knows exactly what makes them tick. Again, I don’t pay any attention to these Trump approval rating polls. They meant nothing in the election and they mean nothing now because what we’re seeing is not only a revolution for the soul of the Republican Party, but a revolution campaign to win the Electoral College again in 2020 if Bob Mueller can’t put this guy away. The only poll I pay any attention to whatsoever is Trump’s approval rating amongst Republicans and it’s still in the 70% range. John Kasich, Marco Rubio, and Nikki Haley have no chance whatsoever against Caligula in 2020. None. They’re not even viewed as Republicans by the people who see Trump as the savior of the GOP and the country.
More importantly, is there one single Democrat to date in the midst of all this national carnage who has even remotely galvanized his or her own party?
As we knew he would, he was nothing like the performer we saw the night before when discussing Afghan policy. He put on his Bluto garb and just flat out performed for the core in Phoenix. It’s like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. They know when to chant. They know when gyrate. They know the show. They love him, but more importantly—they hate the status quo in American politics.
So was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? No and it won’t be over until Bob Mueller has enough evidence to put this to a merciful end. But even then, revolutions aren’t easy things to put away sometimes.
They know Gorsuch was confirmed, right?
