Is McConnell even going to have the trial appear to be fair?

The Republican Trump Party is a joke, but not a very funny one; in fact, it's a very dangerous one, one that just may lead to our nation's downfall.

No, but the Republican don't have any good options here.  If Bolton testifies, the cat's out of the bag.  If he doesn't, it's a rigged trial and Democrats get to run with that to November.

Heads, I win.  Tails, you lose.

No one is going to care about Impeachment come November. People will care about the Economy, Health Care and possible Immigration.

In 2013 I remember all the fuss about the Shutdown, ObamaCare, etc. would be a Major Issue for the 2014 Midterms. It didn't turn out that way. Economy still topped Voters minds, followed by ISIS, EBOLA & Immigration.

The President of the United States has been impeached 3 (three) times in the history of the nation.  People are going to remember, and they are going to care.

The economy was fine (well, "fine", as the corporate media has been trying to convince us such since 2011) in 2014, 2016, and 2018.  Voters didn't care and they wanted something new.

Kinda weak comparison seeing as the shutdown was 1 year before the midterm as opposed to January of the election year like now also the economy was in recovery mode by 2014 the midterm was about the stupid EBOLA scare

If you think Impeachment will Top Voters minds come November you're mistaken. For some it might be an issue but for most Voters they want to talk kitchen table issues which affects their Daily Lives and not this partisan hack crap by both Parties.

Very, very, very smart move by Team Trump to recruit 8 GOP House Reps to help. Winning move right here.

They are not going to speak on the Senate Floor though. They will act as surrogates. Good move nonetheless cuz they were shunned out in the House Proceedings.

It creates a seamless process for Trump. Those 8 House Reps know what the House Dems may be plotting. It’s a very clever move.

The House Impeachment Inquiry was rigged by the House Leadership in the worst way possibly. Most of it is pure speculation and assumption like Pat Cippolone said in the Brief yesterday.

Imagine if Trump didn’t immediately (or ever) release the Transcript.

I’ll be honest, what the Whistleblower first reported sounded very bad. But he was very wrong, and we only know that bc of the Transcript.

Basically, the Whistleblower was concocted by the Dems, thinking they finally got their man. Nope, not even close.

The outcome in all of this is pretty clear. Trump will be acquitted by a partisan-line Vote just like the House did a partisan vote to impeach him give or take a few Senators (Votes).

The Question is: How much want Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar and Michael Bennet spent time in Washington instead of spending it in IA, NH.

GOP Senator Cornyn from Texas said there might be a bipartisan deal with these folks and Senate Republicans to speed up the Process.

What the hell are you talking about? The transcript (and subsequent testimony and evidence) vindicated the whistleblower.

most voters have no clue what's going on in the world/usa. they'll make their choice off of "feel" and "gut" in the weeks/months leading up to the election.

More Days of Opening Statements though also means that Sanders & his Senate Folks won't be setting a single Foot into Iowa before February 3rd.

And everyone keeps saying Pelosi doesn't have anything to do with it. She knew excatly what she was doing to Biden's Main Rivals Sanders & Warren by sending over the Articles so late. I don't think this was a coincidence.

But... the transcript is one of the main thing that incriminates Trump. He's really going all in on psychological warfare on his cult...
