Hmmmm, if impeachment was such a positive for I-45 you'd think FAUX News would have results and

... opinions and would devote the time to it like the other stations.

I'm thinking Moscow Mitch doesn't want a real trial because the evidence would be too much against I-45.

We'll see

Ignore polls, they are used for propaganda.

Sure his 30% base will never turn...the rest of the country is moving on.

I'm in a red state and can see it all around. Right-center reds are through with him and want someone new.

I predict after the Senate trial, no matter how it turns out, the Republican party will choose someone different for their candidate in 2020. My money is on Romney, he would be the easiest to ease into that role.

Republicans, united, didn't spend much time defending Trump on the (unfavourable) merits. Instead, in an appalling spectacle of mass projection, they took turns accusing Democrats of the very offences Trump committed — with Trumpian language and disregard for reality.

Democrats are the ones, Representative Tom McClintock (Republican, California) said, who committed a "stunning abuse of power." Democrats are the ones, Representative Tom Rice (Republican, South Carolina) said, who "colluded with Russia and Ukraine."

Democrats are the ones, Representative Steve King (Republican, Iowa) said, who engaged in "the largest and most massive coverup of such a list of crimes against our country." Democrats are the ones, Representative Peter King (Republican, New York) said, who committed an "assault on the Constitution."

...

It was as though Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson had taken over the House floor. Even during the most solemn constitutional ritual, Republicans were auditioning for an audience of one — and outbidding each other with conspiracy theories in hopes of scoring a favourable tweet from the boss.

Wow, so obvious people can see it from half a world away! Putin's puppets are not fooling as many people as they think they are.
