It is precisely in the heyday of the trial to be ousted and when in the Democratic primaries - Trump again emerges victorious • Iowa elections have become a farce, which ended in surprise • But even though the president is backing polls and on the street, the election is likely to be dirty, and more will provoke 2016

For three years and three months, Democrats waited for their party's primaries to begin, at least they hoped, in their White House comeback.
Iowa, in the best of American tradition, despite its secondary and limited number of delegates awarding and disseminating among the winners of the primaries, was expected to provide them with the decor needed to create the image of the winners they seek after the 2016 Hillary Clinton defeat.
But what to do - Donald Trump does it over and over, embarrasses them, defeats them - even if Democrats helped him and big time: A technical glitch (a failed app) caused the postponement of the results of Iowa's election polls, which were the most visible.
And while the embarrassment surrounding this farce is great among Democrats, and the votes are counted at a galloping pace of an aging turtle, Trump is delivering one of his most successful speeches. The nation-state speech he made Tuesday evening in front of the two congress houses was an election rally for all intents and purposes.
Contrary to the bleak motives of his inaugural speech in January 2017, which promised to "put an end to today's hard-to-forget American citizen," in a speech Tuesday - in which tens of millions, probably the biggest number Trump received on television - mired his government's successes In every possible plane, most notably the booming economy that is reaching new highs.
And if that wasn't enough, Wednesday night, the Senate decided on Trump's trial and earned him full credit. This is not surprising, but the very fact that the week of the Democratic ouster process peaked, they themselves reached a low, indicating much about the power relations between the 45th president and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
In fact, it teaches how well Democrats know how to fight among themselves, but don't know how to talk to the American people. Not only that, Democrats seem to insist on shooting themselves again and again by humiliating the president, for example when Pelosi refused to use the usual terminology to congratulate the president and invite him to podium and speech (she called him "the president" only and did not mention it was "a big right for me" As is customary).
Democrats' attempts to humiliate the Democrats are hurting them because they are seen as too righteous. After all, the president, as much as he does not like it, is the only one elected by residents of all US states, as opposed to senators and governors, for example. That is why the constitution does not allow it to be arbitrarily ousted. Therefore, Democrats should treat the office with due respect, and not Insult voters for choosing them.
Pelosi hoped some Senate Republicans would cast a ballot and might even vote for impeachment or abstention, but as of yesterday, even Susan Collins, who is considered a senator who doesn't like Trump and also attacked him in "Ukraine-GATE", aligned a line with the party The people, and accused the Democrats of running a hunting campaign against the president.
And apropos of the House of Representatives, she ripped Trump's speech with great demonstration as he finished his speech, effectively pushing Democrats even further away from the White House.
Trump, of course, quickly attacked her on Twitter for her act being an insult to the people mentioned in his speech and present there. "This insult is her legacy," the White House tweeted. Indeed, if there is anything the US voter remembers from the Democrats' three years outside the White House, it is their hatred of Trump and contempt for his supporters, not the principles they are trying to promote.
The handshake that was not
To sum up Trump's excellent week in the US, put it this way: Democrats are contending and Trump is likely to win again. Comeback Kid, once Bill Clinton, is Donald Trump.
In Pelosi's defense, she can always say childishly: he started by not responding to her outstretched birth when he made her speech (not sure he saw her hand, and Mike Pence is not handshake either). But Pelosi started the whole process of impeachment, and there is no great love between them, so at most the handshake was a photo-op that no party really wanted.
In 2016, those who had forgotten were those in the Democratic Party who were disgusted by Trump winning state after state in primaries. They said he was burning the club and would destroy the party from within. Needless to say, today the Republican Party is united on a level that many people do not remember. Susan Collins' return to Telem even makes it clear how popular Trump is, as she is a senator from Maine, New England.
Keep America
We're in an election year in America. Trump listed his accomplishments, which were also reflected in good polls this week. "Winning America," is what came out of the president's speech. The data he brought to the public's attention is correct. Sorry for Pelosi. Even in frigid Iowa where Democrats had the call today this week, Trump fans could be seen with his election slogan: "Keep America Great."
No wonder the next day we heard American citizens, Trump supporters, proud of their president: "Trump is the only president I remember doing what he promised."
In general, it was Republicans this week who managed to steal the limelight for Democrats in Iowa not only by t-shirts, but also because Trump himself decided to appear and make a huge rally in the state, just before the start of the Democratic race. And if that wasn't enough for Democrats, the Gallup Institute has published a poll showing that job satisfaction with the president has risen by five points to 49 percent in an election year, an extremely important figure.

Trump, by the way, has risen in the polls following the support he receives from Republicans as well as independent voters. Among Republican voters, his support has risen to 94 percent (!), A figure that shows how successful he is at keeping his voters' fervor. Among the self-employed, the support rate rose to 42%.
So it's true that polls in America are no longer worth much (thanks to Hillary Clinton and the New York Times contributing to that), but in this case, the poll came to light on American Street - as I saw this week in Iowa but also in Washington very blue.
Impeachment that is cut off from the people
One could say explicitly that since June 2015, Trump has been able to take over the agenda, for better or worse. The only ones who are not prepared to internalize that Trump should work and not against him are the Democrats (except for the unity they recently demonstrated when they ratified his free trade agreement with Mexico and Canada).
I was at the unlucky Joe Biden rallies, the energetic and surprising Pete Bootage, as well as Bernie Sanders' Super Bowl party from which he ran away before the opening whistle.
But with all due respect to candidates plowing Iowa and moving on to New Hampshire, this week's heroes are two New Yorkers: Trump and Michael Bloomberg.
In the wake of the Democrats' mass quarrel, and the Iowa farce, Bloomberg suddenly appears to be delivering stability and normalcy. And Trump, of course, is Trump.
There are three more contests ahead of "Big Tuesday," in which Bloomberg wants to break to the front and get the most from the possible delegates, so chances are that by then Democratic voters will already forget his existence. But this year, as in 2016, everything is different. Until a few weeks ago, Pete Buttagej's victory in the Democratic primaries was seen as a curiosity. Now that's a real possibility.
There is reason to believe that even in the coming months we will hear the names of those missing from the Democratic race: Trump and Bloomberg, who have already poured $ 300 million into the campaign, and the hand is still leaning.
Nine months before the election itself, on November 3, Trump noted the excellent state of the American economy he was rehabilitating. He mostly didn't even mention his impeachment sentence once, not even in the word. Trump chose to talk about America's great economic success, reflecting his speech on the US: an impeachment sentence that was cut off from the nation, and a skyrocketing economy - which would have made Trump one of the most Jewish if it wasn't for America.
You have to remember that America is big and it's not New York, Washington and Los Angeles. On the streets of Iowa this week, I saw many Americans who dislike what the media does to their president.

So it's true to say that Iowa does not represent American society. Tim Scott, an African-American senator from South Carolina, said this week that if Trump wins 14 percent among the African-American community, the game is closed. And in his speech we saw the way he was addressing the same community, which he promoted in every possible parameter. But it should be clear, even though Trump is a favorite in the November 2020 election, it's going to be, as usual, a dirty fight in the US. The 2016 election will look like a walk in the park.
If Democrats want to leave a chance, they must talk about issues that speak to the United States. Maybe that's why Pete Bootgej, who has been successful in Iowa, also talks about faith, God (no party to religion is exclusive, he said) and respects the military. Presumably, Democratic candidates are now studying Pete Bootage - some who want to compare him to Obama. One must admit that even if he is not Obama in charisma, he is a candidate - "Mayor Pete," as they are called, controls the material and seems to be the most favorite of the Democratic group in Iowa.
Who would have thought that the most dramatic weekend of the 2020 election campaign (so far), there is a real possibility that we will see Bloomberg and Butige as the Democrats' hot names, and who would believe that just during the heyday of impeachment, Trump will be seen as a winning horse galloping toward victory and a second term .
