(775 posts)I don't know if you only read the excerpts of this blog post that were on the DU site or if you had a chance to read the original piece posted at "Born To Run The Numbers," but a great deal of the original post explains what is meant by the use of the term "bungling." The author took the position that a "fast and narrow" impeachment (what the Dems have done) would enable the Senate to rapidly acquit Trump, which would enable him to claim "exoneration" and "vindication." The author contrasted the "fast and narrow" impeachment with a "slow and thorough" type would inflict far more damage on Trump and last well into the election cycle. Obviously the full piece has the far more detailed argument, but the reference to "bungling" was simply that the "fast and narrow" impeachment seemed calibrated to help Trump, and that the "slow and thorough" approach was far more like to damage him.
