As I print this, Jan. 17, this is what I see. During the House impeachmen­t proceeding­s, the Democrats denied the

Republican­s witnesses, access to meetings and other not so fair things.

Now that the shoe is on the correct foot, the Democrats are trying to bully the Senate majority leader to allow them to call witnesses they failed to call in the house.

The Republican­s control the Senate and while the Democrats whine about unfairness, they fail to look at their own actions in the House — just claiming that they called who they called. How does reverse deja vu work? Apparently well.

I have warned those who demand witnesses to be very careful what you ask for. Do you really want Comey, Strzok, Ohr, Simpson, Brazile, Holder, Lynch, Steele, H. Clinton, Brennan, Clapper, H. Biden, J. Biden, Schiff, a (I believe) non-existent whistleblo­wer, et al, to be user oath and testifying? Knowing the penalty for lying to the Senate is very harsh? Do you?

Being asked under that penalty, under oath, about cover-up emails, fake dossier, DNC collusion, lying to the court, spying and wire tapping the Trump campaign and many other efforts to overturn the 2016 election, are you sure you want this?

Sadly, most Democrats do, because they know that no matter who they put up to run against Trump, that person will lose. Large.

So, we will see. The best,

I believe for the Democrats, is to cut this off now before it blows up in your face.

Find a person who is who he or she says they are, is more middle of the road, age worthy, doesn’t need a teleprompt­er to speak with force and can win over the undecided, independen­ts and moderate Republican­s.

Does such a person exist? I think so.
