Except its not going to do any real good for improvement of Rat presidential prospects. The best result for her is to keep the Rat base energized, in-line to protect the Rat down ticket. I think it will fail & she won’t keep her speakership.

Pelosi reminds me of a bratty child who noisly soils her own diapers to get attention during the family dinner.

First, these pundits and politicians need to stop ascribing to Pelosi her great skills as a politician, leader, and strategist.

She is as dumb as dirt.

Second, the only democrat strategy now in play is to delay long enough to get 4 RINOs to vote with the democrats so that they can claim, in spite of failure to remove, that “a majority of the Senate voted to remove Trump”.

They already have three - Murkowski, Romney, and today, Collins.
There are a lot of potential No. 4s - Lee, Tillis, McSally to name 3.

Republicans only hope is two possible democrats voting present - Jones (AL) and Manchin (WV).

Immediate dismissal is the ONLY Constitutional response to this anti-American leftist horse crap.

Manchin was just reelected in 2018.

McConnell needs to put an end to this by giving the House a date to turn over their impeachment articles and if they don’t hold a vote on whether or not to remove the President based upon what knowledge they do have from public sources and lack of official sources from the House. Per the Constitution the House has voted for impeachment. The President is impeached. The Speaker of the House has no Constitutional authority to withhold the Articles from the Senate or to dictate/negotiate how the Senate votes to dispose of the matter.

Pelosi will deliver the articles on January 7th.

A ballsy GOP Senate might consider a “rolling” trial. Instead of dismissing in 7 days, begin with calling Ole Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The when Joe refuses, let the courts enforce the subpoena even if it takes weeks or months to enforce.

Jones might as well vote to convict because no matter what, he’s out next November.

I predict a strong Republican win this time.

Trump voters aren’t staying home, for one thing.

And the majority conservatives of this state do not like democrats, for another.

Sad to say, the only democrat voting block in the state is African Americans. There’s only a handful of white college Millennials for the dems. I really wish Blacks would see the light and realize the dems do NOTHING for them.

They are already claiming that the Senate’s Republican “jurors” have abandoned impartiality, are actively working with Mr. Trump to cover up his crimes, and are afraid to hold a trial.

How do you cover up something that you can’t find because it doesn’t exist?

I really respect Strassel and the WSJ, but disagree on this one. There is no impeachment until the Articles are delivered to the Senate and the House appoints Managers to prosecute and defend the case.

It seems to me that proceeding with a trial anyway presents a danger of unintended consequences. Why do it? The evidence would favor Trump but the press wouldn't report it that way. Spend the time confirming more judges.

“withholding the articles of impeachment”

Aren’t these public knowledge (and available via the Congressional Record)?

I would expect that the Democrats (and Republicans) in the House knew what they were voting on.

Now, as impeachment has dominated the news,...

That no one is watching sand no one cares about except the deranged Dims. We on the other hand are just chomping on the bit to vote again this coming November.

For rational people the MAGA economy has dominated.

I think the democrats plan to dismiss all indictments of democrats in their conspiracy against the elected administration as vengeful acts for his impeachment.
Impeachment was premeditated.

Impeachment hasn’t actually dominated the news at all. It has pointed up the fact that certain media figures have vastly overestimated their influence and are covering their collective eyes hoping it all goes away. While it appears to be satisfying the True Believers to repeat the mantra “impeached President” it hasn’t swayed anyone else, and childish satisfaction doesn’t put anyone in the White House.
