ANALYSIS — Donald Trump strode onstage Tuesday night in Florida — king of the battleground states — and began slinging “Make America Great Again” caps into the crowd. Minutes later, the president prompted a new “Bullshit!” chant and a familiar one: “Lock her up!”
But perhaps no moment was more telling about his emerging reelection message than what he told the crowd inside Sunrise’s BB&T Center about House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry.

Trump has been noticeably agitated about the probe for weeks, and again on Tuesday night he dubbed it a “witch hunt” and a “hoax.” But he also described the impeachment inquiry as more than just an investigation into what multiple witnesses have described as his withholding of both a $400 million military aid package to Ukraine and a White House meeting until Ukraine’s new president would announce investigations of former Vice President Joe Biden, now a candidate for president.
Trump told his backers House Democrats are out to get all conservatives.
I say that he is right.
If they remove him, who will stop them from turning America into a pre-Communist or Communist state?
