Smelling defeat, the impeachment Democrats' united front is showing signs of breaking apart
american thinker ^ | 1/26/2020 | Monica Showalter

Like week-old meat left in a hot car, the stench of defeat is starting to overpower the swag pens and stifled giggles in the Democrats' impeachment project.

Axios has fresh news about how bad it is:

Officials in both parties tell me that — barring surprise new information — President Trump is on a glide path to swift acquittal at his Senate impeachment trial, despite a blizzard of evidence bolstering Democrats' accusations.

Why it matters: Trump has a decent chance of avoiding witnesses and of losing zero Republican votes on conviction. Think about that: When the news broke, did anyone think every single Republican in the House and Senate would have his back? Bill Clinton pined for such unity. A source close to House Democrats sounded morose after Trump's defense team made its opening arguments yesterday: "I think our team feels like we did everything possible and are going to lose anyway."

"It feels like maybe we’ll still get a witness, but more likely not, and even if we do it won’t matter," the source added. "The GOP gamble is always that most voters don’t care about process ... Up to us to make them pay for this." The whole thing, from Axios big Mike Allen, king of the swamp, in a column that almost always can find a silver lining for the Democrats otherwise, (and didn't this time), can be read here.

The news comes as we were watching closely for signs of peel-off from either Republicans or Democrats on the Senate floor. Signs of something happening began a couple of days ago when #NeverTrump Republican and jealous former contender Mitt Romney expressed his displeasure with the Democrats' Schiff show, and made a de facto statement of support for Trump, which we know had to be distasteful to him

So no one in the Senate will vote to convict Trump?

That would be entertaining!

Just losing this case will NEVER be enough punishment for the Democrats involved. Sorry, not willing to compromise, get along, let it go, etc., ad nauseum. This one was way beyond the line of no return.

Their ‘blizzard of evidence’ doesn’t overcome the fact the DimWits are attempting to impeach the President for something the Constitution doesn’t provide for.

They’re too stupid to quit, so let them keep digging a hole.

F**king Twerps. If Democrats gave a rat's butt about process, they might have followed their own impeachment rules written by a committee headed by an impeached (and removed) former federal judge. But no, they can't even do that.

The only real evidence against the President is one line in a phone call transcript. All contextual information and the one first-hand witness shows that he was not trying to shake down his Ukrainian counterpart.

And what does the Russia Collusion Fantasy have to do with investigating the Bidens? And isn't funny that Crowdstrike is not part of the conversation?

If our civilization survives, these jerks are going to be remembered as traitors when unbiased historians look back.

Last minute hail mary, like with the sexual assault allegations in 2018 with Kavanaugh. After Saturday, looked like it was going to be a quick trial, and no witnesses.... this may throw that up in the air.

Rinse and repeat.

This is only the first attempt to impeach Trump. Dems have only just begun.

It would be huge if we got a bunch of democrats to side with us.

A 75% vote to acquit followed by devastation in the next election for anyone who voted against Trump would send a strong signal to the house to never try this again.

Bolton’s own staff put out a statement that he did not share it with anyone. Ny times lying.

The Democrats have simply gotten more and more desperate, even to the point of trying to deny DJT a place on the 2020 ballot. Every single person except for sheep, retards, or Satan worshippers are sick and tired of this crap. It’s what happens after this impeachment schiff show that will be amusing.

But make no mistake about it, the next 22 hours of the trial will be MUST see TV.
