| The Real Reason the Dems Want Trump Gone |
| 2019-11-29 |
| [Townhall] The calls to remove Donald Trump from office began before Donald Trump assumed office. They’ve wanted him gone from pre-day one and remain determined to run him off Pennsylvania Avenue by hook, crook, or any other means necessary. If not for firing James Comey, then go to Michael Flynn. If that peters out there’s Stormy and Avenatti. No traction? Russian collusion. Didn’t get him? Ukraine’s up next. The effort to oust Trump has been nonstop for three years and shows no signs of slowing. Why? Why is the inside-the-beltway permanent political class so determined to send Trump packing? Because he’s not a member of "The Club." Yes Trump is ruff, gruff, combative, and bombastic, but there’s lots of Club members who are all of those things, yet they’ve been around Washington for decades. Truth is that The Club has been effectively insulating itself from the American people, enriching itself and its family members by burying self-pay schemes in the largess of government, and Trump is a threat. There are dark corners inside The Club’s clubhouse, lots of them, and Trump is wandering around with a flashlight. ...Club members have at their direct disposal hundreds of billions of dollars and indirectly, multiple times more. There’s a reason they’re more concerned about Trump’s inquiry into Joe Biden’s dealings than they are with Biden’s dealings. Washington Club members have been money laundering taxpayer dollars guised up as "foreign aid," "military aid," and "humanitarian aid" back to themselves through family, friends, foreign nations and corporations for decades. Ukraine is not unique. ...Since forever, The Club has been cutting deals and running scams for themselves and their families through which they end up filthy rich, incredibly powerful, travel the world at no personal expense, and eat quail on crackers‐all not only behind their constituents’ backs, but with those constituents’ dollars. In Trump there’s finally someone at the helm who is not a part of the cabal, not a part of The Club, who has his own money, whose children don't need shady, foreign board of directors’ side deals. And, he's a threat to blow the whole thing up. He's shining lights into corners that they prefer remain dark. They must get rid of him; they can't allow this outsider and his flashlight to run roughshod inside the clubhouse. Dark corners must remain dark, no candles allowed. So for three straight years, they’ve looked for something, anything to get his wick snuffed out. |

| #6 They want Trump to let the Fake Opposition resume full control of the GOP. Can't have the rubes thinking that actual change is possible. |

| #5 The Founders were cynical enough. It's just that they lived in a pre-industrial agrarian environment in which wealth was measure by land not industrial output. It was also a group that had no desires to be the world's policeman. You see foreigners tripping over themselves trying to bribe the Swiss? |

| #4 The Founders were not cynical enough to foresee such conspiracies. But they did give us the tool to deal with them. Second Amendment. |
