The point is we won’t even get a majority in the House.

The Democrats had 235-200 seat advantage elected 2018. That’s 34 seats. The GOP has a margin of 5. With that huge advantage, the Trump impeachment vote had 7 who did not vote to impeach Trump. 3 Dems and 4 not voting or voted Present.

You know damn well we would have more than 3 GOP seats vote against such an impeachment and probably more than 4 trying the no vote or vote present maneuver.

We would not even get close to House majority voting for impeachment, and that would be even with stronger evidence. How humiliating would that be. The asterisk would be on the GOP.

You might think so (that there’d be not be enough GOP votes) but this is coming up to an election year and voter memory can’t be counted on to just simply disappear. Regardless, the process for the impeachment (the indictment) and Senate trial (the trial) is as I indicated, this new Speaker has shown he’s just more of the same.
