Piers Morgan on Democrat impeachment - "they’ve forgotten the golden rule of warfare: never start a battle you can’t win"

Should be obvious but I guess not. From the limited clips I saw yesterday, they don't exactly have a crime to pursue. Thanks to Jessica for sending me this article from the Daily Mail (UK).

There have been many great generals in the annals of history, often with very different ideas of exactly how to wage war. But there is one common principle that links them all. ‘If a battle can’t be won, don’t fight it,’ cautioned Sun Tzu, the revered Chinese warrior from 544-496 BC whose tactical treatise 'The Art of War' is now considered a masterpiece. ‘Don’t fight a battle if you don’t gain anything by winning,’ agreed Erwin Rommel, the Nazis’ most successful general in World War 2.

The same principle applies to political conflict.

‘Choose your battles wisely,’ said Frank Underwood in House of Cards, ‘do not start a war you know you’re gonna lose.’

...as the New York Post front page, featuring Democrat impeachment-drivers Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi in circus ringmaster roles, intimated this morning, will be the Greatest Political Show On Earth – a trial of staggering sensationalism in the court of public opinion.

But as the Post also suggested, this is a uniquely perverse case where the defendant is presumed to be guilty before any of the public testimony is even heard.

And therein lies the biggest problem for the Democrats.

They’re marched into the Congress casino to throw down all their chips on taking Trump down via impeachment.

But in doing so, they’ve raised the bar to potentially ruinous stakes – not for Trump, but for them.
