This is a current lose/lose for Schiff-for-brains, and a win/win for Trump.
Despite the media going on TV each night telling us that each witness said "OMG THERE WAS A QUID-PRO-QUO" each witness actually said "There was no quid-pro-quo"...
It was only their opinions about something they heard from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another Trump was messing around.
So, if they vote to impeach, Trump goes to the Senate and calls them ALL as witlesses... (<~~ get it?) -even Shifty Schiffhead, and the 'whistleblower'.
He will ask if they coordinated in advance, Schiffless will be proven to have lied over and over and over... He will finally find out how they get the form changed to allow hearsay. He may even get censured and thrown out of Congress for it.
A giant win for Trump.
If they vote NOT TO impeach, it's also a giant WIN for Trump...
So... there will be no vote.
Just a 'report' where Adam Shart will say "We could not exonerate him" a la Mueller.
I told my wife that 2 weeks ago.
They’ll declare victory & hope everyone forgets their fiasco.
The Rat Base won't be happy with that. They are boxed into a corner.
They are stuck.....
They don’t vote for it, those in deep blue districts get primaried...
They do, those everywhere else get clobbered everywhere else....
They’ll vote for it.... they knew they had nothing from the start... they just live in their echo chamber so much that they figured the MSM would be able to carry their empty bucket for them...
Now they are stuck....
After all, didn't Trump's own ambassador state that he assumed there was 'quid pro quo'? Never mind the subsequent clarifications and retractions.
Denial and Delay is the only game the Democrats ever have. If I recall.
Schiffty is between a rock and a hard place.
The squeeze is on and his eyes are popping right out of his head.
President Trump has been trolling Schiff all day: “ I’d like a trial...” as he said on Fox News.
Maybe they will choose to censure the President as a way to save face, but not go all the way to impeach.
“Don’t you ever dare do what we never found a shred of evidence of you doing or wanting to do, Mr Trump. We’re watching you!”
After reading the Peggy Noonan article here posted earlier, I’m convinced that there will be a vote.
There are too many from our side pushing this, on the basis they think Trump did something wrong.
Second, Pelosi has all but promised her base that she’d to this, and
Lastly, I think Schiff is mentally ill. I think this guy is actually believing this stuff. I listened to him at the end, and felt he’s crazy.
One thing for sure, I’m proud of our side, even that guy Hurt. We had some real stars out there.
If Pelosi decides to hold a vote, there will be a revolt from the Dems that reside in Trump Won Districts. She won’t even be able to force a party-line vote. It would be a disaster for her Speakership.
On the other hand, if she decides to NOT HOLD A VOTE, the only PO’d people will be their nutty base, whom they can tell that they held impeachment hearings and could not get a vote to pass.
That seems like the only likelihood. Anything else would be political suicide.....................
My thought is they are in this deep looking for a way out. So they ‘Censure’ the President, and basically say you were a bad guy.
Now think back to Clinton days, this was a big deal, as Censure was considered, but GOP’rs argued that the House did not have that authority. It was Impeach or bust, so Impeach they did.
Since when do any rules apply to Dems, so this looks like a nice way out. As a bunch of Red-District Dem congress-critters are toast if this goes to the Senate. Plus trial in Senate will allow a lot of embarrassing things to get out
That’s my thought. They’ve formed a large circular firing squad. Now we see after going ready, aim, if the have the testicular fortitude to say fire.
All they need do is to get to 218 votes...that means Pelosi can distribute dispensations like Christmas candy to members in Red districts in hopes of saving their seats in 2020...BUT all of the RATS already voted for the inquiry, ALL but 2.
AND BACKDATED THE COMPLAINT!
ONLY ON THE WHITE HOUSE VISIT! Nothing about the aid.
I say after this dog and pony show San Fran Nan doesn’t have the votes in those Trump districts!!
Funny, I was thinking the same thing. The whole thing will just fizzle out like a bad fart.
You heard it here first...
