The Democratic Party experienced the first half with many advantages but could not lead in the Trump impeachment battle, while the second half would be much harder.

Democratic leaders in the US House of Representatives yesterday announced two terms of impeachment of President Donald Trump, including power abuse and congressional Congress. The announcement of this impeachment clause paved the way for the US House of Representatives to hold a vote next week. If passed by the House of Representatives, the indictment will be sent to the Senate, making Trump the third US president impeached and presenting in the Senate trial.

However, experts say this is just a desperate attempt by the Democratic Party to stop Trump, in the context of the 2020 US presidential election and Trump does not seem to have an equal opponent.

"This is my prediction: First, the President will be impeached. Second, the Senate will not condemn him. Third, Trump will be re-elected mainly because of what the Democrats are and will do with. impeachment terms. And finally, the Republicans will regain the House of Representatives, "retired lieutenant colonel Oliver North, a US political commentator and military historian, said the channel's" Deep Dive "program Fox Nation.

He said the impeachment investigation of Trump will make Americans fed up with the Democratic-induced division and will vote for Trump in the race to the White House 2020. "They are making a serious mistake", North said, warning that the Democratic Party's "trying to eat away" effort will only worsen polarization in American society.

Gregory J. Wallance, a former federal prosecutor under the Carter and Reagan administration, in a commentary on The Hill likened the Trump impeachment battle to a football match in which Democrats were given a first-half match on the pitch. home with a lot of advantages.

"In the first half, they have every advantage like playing at home and having an referee play according to their rules, as well as having more players on the pitch than Republican opponents," Wallance said. "In the House of Representatives hearings, the Democratic Party has the right to select witnesses and invite three constitutional experts to debate with a Republican expert."

However, the public "score board" in the middle of the break showed that the first half had only a tie, the Democratic Party did not gain any advantage. Meanwhile, Republicans will start the second half at home (the Senate) with the referees as their senators.

"Does anyone really believe that the Democrats will do better in the second half? Most likely, the outcome of the match will only worsen with the Democratic team," Wallance predicted.

Senator Chris Murphy said last week that only a maximum of 5 Republican senators were able to vote to agree to convict the President. The fact that the Democratic Party has to find 15 more votes from Republican senators to dismiss Trump seems to be an impossible solution.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the "head coach" of the Democratic team, will have to find a new strategy to change the situation in the Senate. However, Wallance experts believe that this is very unlikely.

The trial will be closely controlled by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and it is difficult for Democrats to make any dramatic or dramatic moves. Instead, the impeachment will be a "peaceful" debate among senators, along with the constitutional experts' testimony at the House of Commons impeachment hearing on 4 December.

With the strategy of keeping the Senate trial as boring and quiet as possible, Republicans will almost certainly win in their hands.

Gregg Jarrett, Fox News's legal analyst, warns that the hopeless pursuit of impeachment of Trump will cause major divisions within Democrats. Many Democrats will fear losing their voters' votes in their district if they try to pursue this unwarranted war.

In fact, a group of about 10 Democrats in the House of Representatives in the afternoon of December 9 tried to persuade party leaders to come up with a different alternative than impeaching Trump. These congressmen are all from the districts where Trump won the 2016 election and they are afraid that voters will turn their backs on them in the 2020 election year.

The idea that these lawmakers came up with is a resolution that binds President Trump rather than bringing him to impeachment in a protracted legal battle that could turn public opinion toward the Republican Party in the final months. However, their efforts are unlikely to succeed, as Ms. Pelosi has bluntly rejected the decision to bind Trump.

Washington Post commentator Kathleen Parker said that the Democratic Party has its legal arguments when making two terms of impeachment of Trump, especially when the White House repeatedly ignores summonses to summon witnesses and provide document of the House of Representatives. However, the Republican Party also has a reason to resist this effort.

"No matter how many Republicans disagree with Trump's methods, leadership style and tone, the party's base in parliament will not be moved, because it relates to power and survival. their, "Parker wrote. "I also think that thanks to the efforts of the Democratic Party, that Republican base will expand."
