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 well still get a witness, but more likely not, and even if we do it wont matter," the source added. "The GOP gamble is always that most voters dont 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

“despite a blizzard of evidence bolstering Democrats’ accusations”
naturally, that absurd lie was a quote from axios, NOT american thinker

I think you’ve found the Cyanide Strueddel!
Watch Nadler hog it all and the rest will have to find another way out!
It will be better for Trump than the Dens if Bolton testifies.
Few sounds sweeter than whiney rats
Can they ever get over themselves?
Hateful vindictive vengeful narcissists are going to make Patriots " pay for this."
They will fight to destroy America with their last breath. Which can come none too soon. (The latter)
Many in UT find this carpetbagger RINO very lacking.
Those videos scare me :)
You hope
So no one in the Senate will vote to convict Trump?
That would be entertaining!

Well, appears Romney is still lobbying for witnesses. We shall see...
They were ALWAYS “going to lose anyway.” Why did they ever think differently?
Oh, all Ds except Manchin, and possibly Enema and Jonesboro will convict.
But no Rs, as I said for months. The pressure on Minion, Tom Collins, MurCowSki is enormous. They would be finished in ALL Republican politics, just like the George Hamilton look-alike governor down in Florida was, if they screw Trump.
That one never gets old LOL
