When McConnell held up the Supreme Court nomination, the left was pretty ticked off, and I don’t think they have ever gotten over it. They certainly took it out on Kavanaugh pretty good. I just can’t see McConnell brushing it off. Still, I don’t think a trial hurts Trump. Consider that their hand-picked witnesses aren’t able to establish any sort of a case against the president. Given a chance to fight back, this time calling the shots, a Senate trial would do more harm to the Democrats.
If done properly.
I agree & that’s probably what will happen. Also McConnell could play a delaying game where he maximizes the time on the trial in the Senate & minimizes the time left for Rat’s to campaign. Whatever happens its a distraction no one other then a deluded few want and the public will resent. I think that will be reflected at the ballot box with a major Trump triumph barring some unforeseen black swan event.
——I don’t think a trial hurts Trump——
The primary consideration is HISTORY.
If the House Democrats actually impeach the President, HISTORY demands a trial in the Senate.
When I consider all the time and money spent by Freepers (including getting our name) impeaching Bill Clinton I now find my self on the other side. Was our intense effort for naught?
History says the Senate made a choice to deny our efforts to oust a sitting president who actually lied on the witness stand in a court of law.
