Conspiracy theories v. collusion

If you are going to win this election, you not only have to keep your base, but you also have to gain voters who do not necessarily agree with you.

For if you allow your opponents to grab those votes and their own base, then you are destined to lose.

I believe to support Trump is the correct choice.   So, I am not going to stand by idly on this blog, and let the Democrats get way with defrauding the country with the "collusion" narrative.

Isn't that what the Democrats are really selling in this campaign?   Nancy Pelosi says she wants to talk economics.  But do they really want to do this?

Trump's policies are working very well.  You can see that in the numbers before he was elected and after.  You can see this clearly in the Fed Funds rate.  If Obama's economy was so good, then why was the Fed Funds rate near zero for his entire tenure as POTUS?  No sooner than Trump was elected the rates started going up.  Higher rates are definite signs of a strengthening economy.  Lower rates is an "accommodative" policy meant to support a weak economy.  The economy was weak during Obama's entire presidency---the weakest recovery on record since WWII.  Why would Pelosi want to talk about that?  Therefore, she is just winking at the collusion narrative.  They have nothing to sell but the collusion talk.

What about this word "collusion"?  It is a political word, not a legal word.  The legal word would be "conspiracy".  Since no conspiracy has been found, this just a "conspiracy theory".  The use of this word "collusion" is meant to obfuscate the fact that it is nothing more than a conspiracy theory.

The conspiracy theory is being woven out of cloth of falsehoods  exaggerations, and guilt by association.  Scalps have been collected in order to make it appear that there is guilt to be found here, but the guilt that has been found so far has been coerced out of hapless associates of Trump, who are being targeted as a way to get to Trump.

When all this fails, they will ultimately resort to process crimes: ie, perjury, obstruction of justice.  It is the Scooter Libby model.

Phony and fake scandals is all they have.  Pelosi doesn't really want to talk about those things because those things don't favor her prospects to be Speaker.   She may say it to muddy the issue, but it has no credibility, unless she comes out forcefully against the Mueller "investigation" of what amounts to a conspiracy theory.  Weak statements, such as the ones she makes, are not convincing.  You cannot straddle the fence on this one.  Either support impeachment, or end this phony impeachment scandal mongering so-called investigation.
