Democrats have been openly saying that Trump and his team colluded with Russia, that he’s a Russian asset of Putin, that Russia is running the White House since the day he was elected. They’ve been yammering about impeaching him, about investigating him and everyone associated with him since day 1. Now that they’ve lost

Democrats seize on ‘pocketbook issues’ after Mueller report ends impeachment talk

Democrats pivoted Tuesday from investigation and impeachment to “kitchen table pocketbook issues,” acknowledging that the special counsel’s report took from them a line of attack but saying President Trump gave them a new opening this week to go back to talking about Obamacare.

Liberal pressure groups said Mr. Trump should still face legal consequences, but most Democratic representatives on Capitol Hill said Robert Mueller’s finding of no conspiracy to subvert the 2016 presidential election gives their party an opportunity to talk about issues voters care about.

“The conversation has now shifted already, in a day, to health care, and Republicans know they’re in trouble,” said Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat.

Democrats hurtled into their new era by taunting the Trump administration’s refusal late Monday to defend any part of the 2010 health care law.

The Justice Department took the stance that if the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate penalty is gone, then the rest of the law must fall.

Uh huh

Those are the issues that carried the party to victory in November, said House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem S. Jeffries, and they are what Democrats need to focus on now.

“We didn’t run on impeachment, we didn’t win the House of Representatives on impeachment, we’re not focused on impeachment,” the New York Democrat said. “We’re going to continue to focus on the issues that are of importance to the American people.” (big snip)

“Nowhere in the ‘For the People’ agenda does it talk about Russia,” said Mr. Jeffries, name-checking the Democrats’ 2018 platform. “Nowhere in the ‘For the People’ agenda does it talk about collusion. Nowhere in the ‘For the People’ agenda does it talk about obstruction of justice.”

In fairness, most of the rank and file Democrats, the ones you almost never hear mentioned, do not yammer about impeachment and investigation and stuff. But, other than Schumer and Pelosi, most of the vocal ones are talking about it, and

Democrats are still fishing for investigations. The House Judiciary Committee requested documents from more than 80 people and entities in Mr. Trump’s orbit, and investigations have been opened into matters such as immigration policy and negotiations with Russia.

There are dozens of investigations by Democrats in the House, who want everything, even Trump’s taxes from when he was a private citizen. Unhinged Democrats in NY are further investigating his business in a pure fishing expedition. The unhinged moonbat base wants them to keep investigating. They do not care about pocketbook issues in the least. So, the Mueller report won’t end anything for them.

And, by pocketbook issues, Democrats mean taking more money out of your pocket.
