The most vicious weapon the Democrats have to attack their opponents is character assassination. Pelosi said, as recorded by C-span, that internally they call it a “wrap up smear.” They compose a huge lie about a rival, enlist the mainstream media to tell the same lie and they both tell it over and over. Eventually it destroys the rival. They threw it at candidate Trump in the form of a dossier, which was all lies of course and it didn’t work.
However, their collaborators in the FBI (who actually came up with the dossier idea) used it to con the FISA court into giving them warrants to spy on the Trump Campaign. Then they threw another of their smears at President Trump, which charged the Trump campaign with colluding with the Russians, to get help to win the election. That isn’t working either because it’s all a lie.
So then they threw a sex scandal at Judge Cavanaugh. It was all lies and Cavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Finally their FBI collaborators ambushed General Flynn, to trick him into some remarks about Russia, when he was not under oath. They apparently have been successful in destroying a veteran with 33 years of military service.
Obviously, the Democrats feel there is no trick too low or too foul to gain power in the federal government. Looking ahead to 2020, just remember the leopard doesn’t change its spots.
