The Take Down Trump Project

The political and media left convinced themselves it was somehow possible to make the Trump presidency end before its November 2020 sell-by date.

Ambassador Taylor was correct that what the U.S. had been doing in Ukraine comported with the Trump National Security Strategy of resisting persistent aggressions by Russia and China.

Mr. Taylor's substantive point was that the Trump-Giuliani channel undercut a sound U.S. policy course when suddenly military assistance to Ukraine got caught up in Mr. Trump's desire, or need, to have the Ukrainians investigate the Bidens.

My own favorite of stillborn Trump foreign-policy ideas was his tweet, days before the anniversary of 9/11 this year: "Unbeknownst to almost everyone, the major Taliban leaders and, separately, the President of Afghanistan, were going to secretly meet with me at Camp David on Sunday." The Taliban at Camp David-now that would have been impeachable.

Presumably the Democratic left and its allies believe the faux gravity of "Impeachment" will grind down Mr. Trump's support at the margin and jack up anti-Trump turnout.

With impeachment, the Democrats finally will have dropped their nuclear device on Donald Trump.

What the speaker may have recognized this summer is that the activists' take down Trump project was turning into three wasted years, and that voters might go looking for someone to blame for that.
