With what information we have so far, here is my take:

1. Hillary wants to run. Any prolonged witness trial would only harm Warren and Sanders. Biden is finished. He’s trailing Sanders in several states. So with Warren & Sanders unable to campaign, she gets the nom.

2. If there are witnesses, wouldn’t the Defense be allowed to call their own? After all this is a trial. Seems this could be devastating for the Socialists (Romney especially since his son had Ukraine dealings. Graham too as I’ve seen some talk about his own dirty dealings—think John Kerry and McCain. Also for all his bluster where are those hearings Graham promised? Biden has also vowed to ruin Graham I’ve seen. Hum.... What does Biden know.)

My guess is that they are going to drag this drama out FOREVER! And I’m sick of it. We need term limits.

Not necessarily.

Each witness must be voted on separately.

If Romney has really wrangled four GOP "yes" votes for Bolton (and the two of them are obviously coordinating), then that Gang of Four will likely be "no" votes for any defense witnesses.

Partner, we agree 100% with ya on these points.

Like Mr. Dershowitz said in his defense of President Trump and Mr. Dershowitz is a Democrat but he mentioned that we should not be having an Impeachment Trial on President Trump since Executive Privilege is not an Impeachable offense.

The Sham trial in the "People's House" produced 19 witnesses and "Schiff for Brains" allowed "0" witnesses for the Republicans. "Schiff for Brains" was the Judge, Jury, and Executioner."

I think the only 2 Republicans that are going against McConnell is Mittens Romney and Susan Collins from Maine.
I am hearing that if we do have witnesses that the Democrats will try to extend this fiasco forever.

We saw the rally in NJ last night and it looks like NJ will be a Red State. The last time this happened is when I voted for "President Ronald Wilson Reagan" in that great landslide victory of 1984. The MSM could not even say thing negative about President Reagan.
