KEVIN C: The article spells out the problems, that we as a nation, have with Washington. The writer clearly points it out, without realizing he is doing so. The problem is this........Trump wanted the trade deal because he believed it was in the best interest of the country. The democratic leadership considered how the message will play out if they sign on to it. How it will actually affect the country, was secondary. I not saying that only the democrats do this, I am just pointing out that Washington is no longer government for the people, but rather legislation for the party. Their primary goal is to gain and hold power. Nothing else. Who is to blame for this? Well, the American people of course. Congress has an approval rating of 9%, yet the same people keep getting re elected. People now view the democrat part or GOP, like they were some sort of athletic team. They support them, win or loose, without the rationality that these people actually do make decisions that affect their lives. The act like it is some sort of game. The party’s are just like sports organizations. They just keep running promotions to get you to come out to the game. That is what this impeachment is all about. It is a promotion to get people to come out and watch the team play. Consider this, since the democrats took over the house, what have they done other than go after the president for anything they can think of? Sure, they have written a few legislative bills, but they have been so partisan that they knew that they would never pass. They didn’t write them to actually get anything done, they wrote them as part of the show. No, they are only doing things that they believe will keep the people coming to the park, to keep them in power. It’s a joke, and it is both sides. This last point is the best illustration I have to prove how insane the American people are when it comes to supporting a party without the slightest idea of what they are doing. Again, congress is at 9% approval. That means that 91% of the people think that congress is doing a lousy job. Yet, roughly half the country wants to give them more power and control of our lives through socialistic policies? We don’t believe they are effective at what they are doing now, so the answer is to give them even greater power? This is insane
