Deval although a far left progressive will be entering as a “moderate”. The Dems will make big mistake impeaching Trump. Once this goes to the Senate it becomes a Republican political show as Republicans will be able to call witnesses and have subpoena power to make this a Biden trial rather than Trump trial. They will call Hunter and Joe Biden and the partisan whistleblower and Biden will get stoned politically. The Dems will need another nominally “moderate” candidate to replace Joe. That is why you have Deval entering and Bloomberg making noises about entering.

Yep... Biden is as good as gone unless the faux-impeachment thing works for the dems.

The other thing to remember is that if the House impeaches President Trump, there is a movement among GOP senators to have the trial run as long as possible in 2020 -- to keep all these Democratic senators running for President off the campaign trail.
