It was during the Comey hearings early in this administration that I first noticed something; impeachment is a great shiny toy with which to distract the Demos and primitives. The Comey hearings were a flop, but what happened at the same time was that an unusually large number of new federal judges were approved, and the Demos and primitives didn't even notice.
Well, impeachment crawls on, and we get still more judges that Demos and primitives don't see until it's too late.
And there's something additional. The bosses in the Demo party have decreed that Hilda is to be the Demo nominee for president in 2020. Usually the bosses get their way without argument, but this time there's resistance to the idea, from about half the Demos and primitives, Hilda-haters.
It's awesome, watching how the bosses are keeping the resistors preoccupied with impeachment while they craftily pave the way for Hilda, who'll be a fait accompli by the time impeachment's a dead issue.
