For the record: “If they actually did this [impeachment] the markets would crash. Do you think it was luck that got us to the best Stock Market and Economy in our history[?] It wasn’t!” —Donald Trump (Of course, Democrats WANT a recession.)

Food for thought: “For decades, the presidency has been getting more and more imperial, with Oval Office occupants openly flouting constraints on their exercise of power and Congress abdicating its role in doing anything other than spending more money and acting out of partisan interests. This process didn’t begin with President Donald Trump and it won’t end even if he is removed from office.” —Nick Gillespie

Observations: “[Bernie] Sanders often falsely claims that Scandinavia demonstrates the success of his socialist schemes, even though Scandinavian countries are home to some of the freest economies in the world. The confusion arises because many Sanders talking points haven’t been updated since the 1970s, when these countries were conducting disastrous experiments in government expansion. News of several decades of reform and revival hasn’t yet reached Sanders campaign headquarters.” —James Freeman

Fearmongering: “What also makes this urgent is that this is about something that is going to happen — the 2020 election. We have the opportunity to act now to prevent a profoundly destabilizing action — an intervention in our democracy before it happens.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

The BIG Lie: “The president of the United States used taxpayer dollars to shake down the leader of another country for his own political gain.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Non sequitur: “Getting an education isn’t a crime. We need to cancel every penny of student debt.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders (*“Getting a Honda isn’t a crime. We need to cancel every penny of auto debt.” —Frank J. Fleming)

And last… “I don’t want to hear one more word from the Democrats about the Ukrainian transcript till we get to read what Obama told Iran when he gave them $150 billion in sanction relief and $1 billion in cash.” —Charlie Kirk
