Here's the bottom line as I see it.

IF the House ever gets around to voting for impeachment...and they impeach....

The Senate must take that political football and run with it. They must actually bring it to trial with discovery.

If they do not. If they quash the House impeachment, it will look bad in the eyes of the voters. Not in the eyes of the progressives. They're mind is made up against Trump. Not in the eyes of the conservatives, our mind is made up for Trump.

This election (like many others, including the 2016 election) will depend immensely on how the "independents" and more conservative (D)'s vote. Those that voted for Trump in 2016. We need them...again.

Without those votes, there simply isn't enough conservatives for Trump to be re-elected.

We can not afford to have the Senate say...no thanks, we're not going to take up that impeachment. Such a move won't sit well with those fence sitting voters.

The Senate must proceed, but with full investigation and airing out of all the (D)'s dirty laundry and illegalities....and THEN vote to not convict.

That will give the fence sitters the confidence they need to vote again for Trump in 2020.

At the end of the day the Senate can do whatever it wants—full stop.

My personal opinion—since there is an election that will be less than a year away by the time the matter officially reaches the Senate—they should just say that this is fundamentally a political matter that the voters can and will decide in the upcoming November election—and the Senate does not want to waste its time or resources.

"If they quash the House impeachment, it will look bad in the eyes of the voters."

"The" voters? I think not. If most voters lack enough common sense to know that the Trump Administration and the more sane voters should be harassed no more, much more difficult times are in front of us.

There is a limit to tolerance for spoiled children. Suffering them beyond such limit tempts spoiled children to try to burn down the house. Spoiled children shouldn't be allowed to play with fire.

The Senate could do nothing more or less than make a big noise between Senate Democrat and Republican members. That would not provide an education for voters.

It’s up to voters to educate other voters—not politicians. If we continue to cower in fear before criminal punks instead of issuing our own convincing political speech as individuals, everyone will lose. If you are all afraid of displaying signs and bumper stickers or window decals, install cameras and prepare to defend yourselves.

Really? In order for this to be true, voters must ignore the craziness of these. Democrats. If we have enough brain dead voters that believe the lies by these Democrats, then the whole country is gone. Who believes we only have 10 years until we disappear, they can eliminate all airplanes and replace them with high speed trains? Who believes these Democrats can deliver on their promises to give everyone everything for free? The lies go on and on. How long can they continue to fool enough people for them to win elections?
