Thought Experiment

Let’s play a game.

Here are the rules:

1. Let’s pretend Hillary Clinton won the election.

2. Let’s pretend she committed all of the alleged crimes that Tiny Hands Trump is being possibly impeached for.

3. Be honest with yourself.

Ready? Let’s play.

Let’s start with a fact that everyone loves to pretend doesn’t exist, but in all actuality, does. 

Hillary Clinton’s campaign hired a man named Christopher Steele to get unfavorable information on Donald trump. Christopher Steele obtained the “information” he received from a Russian source. (Before we go any further, just think about this for a second. What was the media saying in complete unison for the last 3 years, and what was Robert Mueller’s investigation attempting to determine? Oh, right. Moving on…)

This is where our thought exercise/game begins.

Hillary Clinton finds out that, let’s say, Ted Cruz’s son works for an energy company in, let’s say Germany. He has no prior work experience in energy, yet he is being paid $50,000 per month to sit on the executive board. Hillary then asks the German head of state (President? Prime Minister? IDK but whoever’s in charge) to investigate Ted Cruz and his son for corruption. 

How many Democrats would have this same energy to have Hillary impeached? How many Democrats would be on the news everyday calling Hillary a Russian puppet? Also, if they really believed Hillary was indeed working for Vladimir Putin rather than the United States citizens, do you think the republicans would give her an ADDITIONAL $130 BILLION, on top of the $700 BILLION that we already have for the military budget?

Let’s keep playing.

Using the Ted Cruz example, if Cruz submitted a debunkeddossier that the source from Russia themselves deemed to be incorrect, do you think everyone would STILL try to find reasons to impeach or investigate her even though Mueller’s report stated that there was “no evidence” of collusion between Hillary and Russia?  Ok, game over. 

Now, let’s just be real for a second. Everybody hates Donald Trump, including a lot of Republicans. However, this is NOT the way to attack him. All this does is distract everyone from the real shit we should be paying attention to, such as the fact that we have been lied to for the last 18 years about Afghanistan, or the fact that they just renewed the Patriot Act. Nobody cares about that stuff because every think Trump is going to get kicked out of office. Let me just be frank, that’s not happening. The Republican majority Senate will never ever ever ever everimpeach Donald Trump. It would be political suicide for all of them, because the base of the party LOVES this man. 

So, after that fun game, if you followed rule number 3, I think we all know that Hillary would have NONE of these consequences or issues. So can we please, for the love of God, have principles when we make arguments so that way we don’t have to have all these flimsy standards for politicians based on party affiliation?
