A Republican Presidential candidate has to try to lose Indiana.

I 've gotta say, I remember the Clarence Thomas / Anita Hill hearings. Everyone was talking about them. I remember the Clinton Impeachment saga. Everyone was talking about it. I remember the Brett Kavanaugh hearings. Everyone was talking about them.

So far I've heard two old people talk about this Trump impeachment sham since it began with the whistle blower report. Actually one old person (my mother) and my barber mentioned that his father was glued to the TV so I didn't even hear it directly from two people.

Maybe I live in a bubble but does anyone even care about this?

Oh please, “volcanic” is drama queen Wallace’s Trump-hating opinion.

[fortheDeclaration]

She is really concerned about the GOP political efforts. She is claiming there is a poll that states 75% of the people want to see the witnesses! And 51% want the President removed. Delusional!

[subterfuge]

Typical

[abbastanza]

Never heard of her.

[catnipman]

uh,yeah.The GOP should base their strategies on an ignorant, talking-head propagandist like Nicolle Wallace ...

[aces]

any senator that votes for witnesses or impeachment should be voted out..

[Fightin Whitey]

So, he was there, in the Oval Office, during Trump’s phone call??

No, he was busy that day making a delivery of 300 pounds of cash to Hunter Biden, who tipped little Willie $100K.

Honest.

He told me himself.

Said to count it myself but if I did he would have to kill me with his bare hands.

I'm still here, ain't I?

Nicole Wallace is still butt hurt because her worthless Jeb Bush isn’t president.

In other words, she is pissed about not getting a cushy, high-paying government job with lots of opportunities for her to enrich herself at the public trough.

[Lurkinanloomin]

None of the people backing Yeb! thought he would be President.
His job was to graciously lose to Hillary so she could be out historic First Woman President.

Anyone else notice that there are a lot of these so-called Republican strategists, conservative columnists, pundits, etc. who are just absolute shills for the Democrats?

Wallace, Rick Wilson, Jennifer Rubin....

Even if everything Bolton is rumored to have said is 100% true IT IS STILL NOT AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE.

Quite right; also consistent with Team Trump's "apparent" litigation plan.

One would think the Team would want to trade Bolton for a witness; a witness that could provide compelling evidence of D's duplicity rather than one such as Eric Ciaramella who was directly involved in the matter as an actor but almost certainly would take the 5th or feign a loss of memory.

That may yet be in the cards, but if no such witness is available it seems obvious the Team's best move would have been to vote for acquittal following its response to the D's opening argument.

Don’t forget the IG deposition being held back because it was exculpatory!!!

This pisses me off as much as anything. The Republicans should be raising this in response to every question and democrat soundbite. Before considering calling ANY new witnesses, the House democrats need to release the testimony that was already given by the 18th witness but that they don't want anyone to hear.
