No, the entire op-ed provided its own context. Op-eds are the opinion of the writer, not the Publisher, and the Times has always shown a great deal of latitude. I saw that piece as an important demonstration of the Times’ willingness to air a breadth of opinion, in contrast with more partisan outlet like Fox. The thing cractic is wrong about is presenting this as if it were the opinion of the Times as a whole.
Many folks don’t understand the difference between actual editorial content and op-ed commentary. Then they stumble on its significance.
Indeed, after a few years exposure to the Fox News genre, many folks have been trained to to be unable to distinguish between reporting and commentary.
Impeachment would provide a gift to Republicans and would likely ensure Trump is reelected. But DEMs won’t be able to resist the urge, given their visceral hatred of the man who took down Hillary.
My bet is they will make impeachment front and center in 2020. I, for one, would be a very happy man were that to be the case.
Good to see that Dems are now admitting that the question of whether to impeach or not to impeach is not a question of Constitutionality or what is a high crime or misdemeanor, but only a question of what involves political gain for themselves.
Party first.
Results, darlin’. They count. Check out the the economy…
Erp. Unless what you consider “results” as the green deal, reparations, socialism and whatever else your candidates can throw into the pot to attract the freeloaders of society.
Impeaching Clinton hurt the republican party? You mean how they maintained the house, senate and Bush got elected afterwards? When will that this myth die?
