Pelosi, did her job. Now the Democrats in the Senate must bring this nightmare to its end.

The Democrats in the Senate must join Pelosi and turn this trial into a trial about the Republicans corruption. It is the Democrats that must disrupt this trial. McConnell, Graham gave the Democrats a great gift. They admitted they are traitors to their oath, the constitution, the country. Use it, destroy them.

The Democrats must make it clear during the trial how the Republicans are betraying the country. If the Republicans refuse to allow witnesses, refuse to allow documents (evidence) the Democrats should disrupt the trial in order to show the people the Republicans corruption. They must force the Republicans to vote on every witness, every document they refuse to allow in the trial. They must yell out, get very angry during the trial. They must fight like our democracy depends on it, because it does. The Democrats must convince the people during the trail Trump has to go.

People, this trial is the whole ballgame. If Trump is not convicted the 2020 election will be the most corrupt election in our history. I fear too many Democrats believe we will be able to vote Trump out. That may be a big mistake. Trump must be removed and the Democrats in the Senate, the American people must make it happen.

1. I disagree. Yelling and screaming is how the GOP seeks credibility.

It's how the Democrats lose credibility...

[FBaggins]

2. You might be shocked to read the rules for a Senate trial

For instance - "yelling out" might not be the best strategy after the sergeant of arms intones "All persons are commanded to keep silence, on pain of imprisonment"

Senators are actually barred from speaking for a large portion of the trial. In the Clinton trial, questions had to be submitted in writing to be read by the Chief Justice.

4. Let me clarify, I did not mean the Democrats in the senate should yell out.

The House managers, the prosecutors, should yell out, get angry. The Democrats in the Senate should force the Republicans to vote on every act of obstruction the Republicans commit.

3. Roberts isn't going to allow the trial to turn into a circus.

5. But can they?

[TwilightZone]

6. The GOP is already going to try to make it a circus.

We probably shouldn't contribute to making it worse.
