CBS Sees Dems’s ‘Worst Nightmare’ Coming True as Senate Trial Flounders

Another media outlet seems to be souring on the Senate impeachment trial and the way the Democrats have handled it. As it appears more likely that there won’t be witnesses and that an acquittal could have some Democratic support, CBS’s Norah O’Donnell on Thursday predicted a coming “nightmare” for the left. Hillary Clinton’s former campaign manager suggested impeachment could have little impact on 2020 and a CBS voter group unanimously predicted a Trump win.

O’Donnell hinted, “We put up [on screen] the three senators there who could vote with Republicans for acquittal. That would allow the White House to say, this was a bipartisan acquittal. Is that the worst nightmare for Democrats?”

Robby Mook, the man who ran the last Democratic campaign, saw no benefit for impeachment: “Look, long term, you were talking about the election. I don't think this is going to be a big part of the election. I think the election is going to be litigated over economic reality, over big questions like leadership.”

CBS’s John Dickerson saw it as a net negative for Democrats:

But implicit in that is “Gee, we wasted a lot of time on this and not the important stuff.” So, if that is their argument for the fall, they're basically saying, “We spent all this time.” They're helping the President make his his case which is “you wasted a lot of time on impeachment.

Earlier, on CBS This Morning, the network assembled a group of voters. Four of them support the President and four oppose. Reporter Anthony Mason asked who thought Trump will win and everyone said yes. This prompted a “wow” response from co-host Tony Dokoupil:

Wecan only pray that some of these dems will go completely insane and have to be housed in a hospital.

Whoops, the dems closed all the nut houses. I guess we could afford them a small tent to live on SF streets babbling to themselves.

My liberals neighbors, a mother and son, told me today that they would not vote for Bernie Sanders. That they would just stay home.

A lesson to be learned by the Dems: If you live by the partisan sword affording your opponent no defense witnesses or documentation in the house, you die by the partisan sword in the senate.

A purely partisan impeachment and a bi-partisan acquittal.

Just got a feeling- DNC watch parties on November 3rd will be a cross between the WWE and Jonestown.
