Politico reporting that final vote may be delayed until next week

Have no way of verifying this, but submitted FWIW: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/31/trumps-impeachment-trial-could-extend-into-next-week-109937

Not bad if true. Allows more info to drip out and avoids the Super Bowl ad blitz?

1. Is Moscow Mitch getting buyers remorse?

[DonaldsRump]

3. Doubtful, but it gives our folks time to make the case on the Sunday shows etc

Plus, I'm hoping the Ds have more cards to play.

It won't change the final outcome, but the Rs look more and more like useful idiots now actively involved in the cover-up.

Time works to our advantage. It's all about spin at this stage. We greatly have the upper hand.

4. no, he's getting blowback and feedback.

claire mccaskill says he was on the phone to the campaigns to see how bad it is gonna be on the trail. said some were putting their foot down on the superbowl victory tour.

5. Cool!

That's a battle victory if we get it. Allows more time to make the case to the American public.

7. sbowl victory tour would reach many trumpster voters

9. That I figured out two days ago when he left

the Chamber to take phone calls. My guess is,his Dem Challenger just spiked in the Daily's and he is scared of being retired.

He knows damn well how this is playing nation wide as well as inside his Chamber. He smashed all the rules of Decorum and Senate Collegiality and that to Senators means the world.

Most likely he will not be able to control Trump after the numbers just released. Next to get burned will be Bolton. And Trump will demand Moscow Mitch to investigate Schiff and Company as well as the Speaker and Mitch does not want to go anywhere near that one.

2. I hope it's true. n/t

6. Politico report that WH requested delay sounds off - unless trump sounded off.

MSNBC quoting McCaskill earlier also claimed delay.

8. This is a Mitch trick.

He wants to manipulate the hearing into finishing early so he can end it on schedule.

10. Hold the vote at the SOTU?

I wouldn’t be surprised
