Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not believe President Trump can be removed through impeachment — the only way to do it, she said this week, is to defeat him in 2020 by a margin so “big” he cannot challenge the legitimacy of a Democratic victory.
She is right, obviously, about impeachment. But what is this about “a margin so ‘big’ he cannot challenge the legitimacy of a Democratic victory”?
“We have to inoculate against that, we have to be prepared for that,” Ms. Pelosi said during an interview at the Capitol on Wednesday as she discussed her concern that Mr. Trump would not give up power voluntarily if he lost re-election by a slim margin next year.
This is pure smear. The only party with a history of resisting a lawful transition of power is the Democrats, most recently in 2016.
“Few people outside Ms. Pelosi’s inner circle were aware of how worried she was that Mr. Trump would try to stop the opposition party from taking control of the House [in 2018] unless the Dems’ victory was emphatic enough to be indisputable.”
“If we win by four seats, by a thousand votes each, he’s not going to respect the election,” said Ms. Pelosi, recalling her thinking in the run-up to the 2018 elections.
Again, this is pure smear. How would the president not “respect the election”?

“He would poison the public mind. He would challenge each of the races; he would say you can’t seat these people,” she added.
The president has no say over whether elected representatives are seated. He has nothing to do with it. But Pelosi’s reference to “poisoning the public mind” is ironic.
Is she referring to the manner in which the Democrats poisoned the public mind from 2016 through April 2019 with fictitious claims that President Trump somehow stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton?
As we have moved from an Election Day to an Election Season, the Dems have learned how to “harvest” vast numbers of votes that may or may not be legally cast. And guess what: in the overwhelming majority of those cases, the fraud was perpetrated by Democrats.
This, obviously, is why the Democratic Party opposes every effort, in every state, to preserve ballot integrity.
There is much more, but you get the drift. The Democrats constantly project their own sins onto President Trump.

Who was it that refused to accept the result of a non-very-close election, just two years ago? Not Trump. Rather, Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.
