Im afraid a deal will be reached. Im afraid Senate re-pukes will capitulate to Nancy and allow hearings and witnesses and will prolong this impeachment witchhunt for several more months.
But even if this happens, there will be advantages. Americans will become even more disgusted with Democrats and Trumps popularity ratings will continue to increase.
Mitch has the high ground here in that the House already blew their opportunity to exploit their bias charges, AND FAILED TO MAKE THEIR CASE!
If there is any surprise testimony, then theyve surely gone about all this the wrong way. Pelosi wouldnt have gotten to the point where she makes herself look like a jackass at this late stage, if that was the case. Shes holding a poker hand with a pair of twos and she knows her opponent has at least three aces in his hand ... so her strategy is to fall asleep at the table and hope the opponent loses his cards before anyone puts their cards on the table?
I think there will be an agreement and this trial will go forward, Sen. Amy Klobuchar told CNNs State of the Union.
Klobuchar once again demonstrates that she’s a low IQ fool: there’s no way on earth that the GOP Senate will “negotiate” with Pelosi or Schuhmer ... McConnell and Graham both have publicly and repeatedly flat out stated: no witnesses just like in the 1998 Clinton impeachment trail because we’re going to adopt the same trial rules used then, namely, the House puts on its case, the President’s team puts on their defense without any witnesses by anyone, and then they vote to acquit or convict ... period ...
AND the GOP Senators have said that if the Dems don’t like that: tough luck because we don’t want to conduct an impeachment trial anyway, so sit on your impeachment articles as long as you like and we’ll be here if you change your mind. oh, and we LOVE the fact that you’re sitting on the articles because the longer you sit on them, the bigger the fool you look like, and the more foolish and fraudulent your sour grapes impeachment looks like to the public ...
“Im afraid a deal will be reached. Im afraid Senate re-pukes will capitulate to Nancy and allow hearings and witnesses and will prolong this impeachment witchhunt for several more months.”
that’s not going to happen ...
“LET’s MAKE A DEAL?”

Nowadaze it could be many of them....!!!!!

“If so I fear McConnell will give in to the communists Democrats and this trial will be a farist with the Democrats coming out with real talking points in their favor.”
that’s not going to happen ...
the corrupt establishment uniparty makes its move... Trump should expect betrayal.
“And he needs to stick with that like glue, and chant it over and over on every news channel, particularly if it seems that Dems are resisting it in any way.”
and that’s exactly what they are doing, Senate Judiciary Chairman Graham did that again this morning: no witnesses because we’re going to adopt the 1998 Clinton impeachment trial rules ...
Yeah I noticed that and was gonna comment but got lazy.
It is hard to trust our congress folk but the script theory is pushing things too far.
Any trial where a Mick Mulvaney or a John Bolton is called as a witness while Hunter Biden is NOT called would be a clear travesty in the minds of anyone other than rabid anti-Trump partisans.
The Senate GOP should vote to give Pelosi a time limit for transmitting the articles to the Senate - no longer than a month.
Failure to meet that deadline means the same Senators voting for the deadline will vote to dismiss all charges, because justice delayed is justice denied.
Kavanaugh 2.0. More bickering after the holidays on process. Guaranteed.
Everyone should make this their talking point and paint the Dems as not being fair by wanting to treat Trump differently and deprive him rights afforded Bill Clinton at his impeachment.
There's only one reason they want new witnesses in the Senate trial and that's because Dems are on a fishing expedition. The House Dems made a case, voted for these articles and now they're stuck with it.
Trump and McConnell don’t want to go that route. They want a trial so he can be cleanly acquitted.
McConnell is only interested in protecting blue state Senate GOPers up in 2020. He couldn’t care less about POTUS.
McConnell’s GOP senate hasn’t lifted a finger to gather a single fact on the CIA backed coup currently raging in the executive branch of a GOP POTUS. He’s had 3 months and done exactly nothing. Expecting he will do any more than the minimum required on impeachment is a fools errand.
The California Democrat said she is waiting to pass the charges to the Senate until she is guaranteed there will be a fair trial...
It's quite simple -- the impeachment wasn't fair, if it had been fair, there wouldn't need to be more witnesses. Mitch needs to get the Pubbies to pass a resolution, which in short, says, send the list of allegations over, now, or shove them up your ass.
Yeah, I don’t understand the House wanting the Senate to call witnesses that they themselves didn’t call. It makes no sense. If the Senate lets the House dictate ANYTHING to them, they are too stupid to live.
Remember when the Democrats passed Obamacare on Christmas Eve?
Its the Times...
