"If impeachment is the goal via retake House (midterms), does it still not require a 2/3 vote in the Senate?"

We already know that Sasse and Burr are yes votes. McConnell, Cornyn and his crew would probably pile on. Not sure there are 23 Republicans who wouldn’t vote to get rid of Trump right now, much less after a phony hoax of an impeachment trial.

By the way, the Clinton impeachment trial was a joke, for those who don’t recall. I was never so angry as I was at the time that trial was held in the Senate. They needed to call witnesses to Clinton’s rapes, and drug use, and prior lies and even to his murders, and let Clinton try to refute them. The Senate gave the House managers a load of grief, and then the managers bowed down and basically presented the minimum, only about the perjury and then rested. The Senate could judge the evidence, but Justice Rehnquist was presiding, and he could have given his opinions about what was relevant to the trial. But they never got to that, just pretended to have a trial.

Point I am making is that it won’t be like that if Democrats ever got their shot at it. They would put up all kinds of phony evidence, throw tons of mud, make wild accusations that went unanswered, and Republicans would cower in a corner and let them get away with it. MSM would amplify x 100. By the end of the trial, even if Republicans still supported Trump, the whipped puppies in the Senate wouldn’t know it. They would join with Democrats so they would be viewed as reasonable.

Have to hold the House, or that is the future you will get.
