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

"These idiot Trump voters don't believe our lies anymore. Where did we go wrong?"
Boltons spokesman desputes this repirt written in hell.
They’re just now smelling defeat?
Shoot, it was obvious they were dead meat on day one, when Mr Shif read a false version of the phone call.
really it’s already disputed?
Will it be the last of Pelosi?
Biltons peopme said he has not shared the manuacript with anyone. CNN not covering.
Sorry typed too fast, Bolton’s people.
Leader McConnell already signalled what would happen if they tried this again in his speech the morning after the articles passed.
Expect McConnell to give Granny Wine Box a swirlie on the way out over this. Hope she can hold her breath...
Have you ever watched one of those videos where the shock wave from a nuke shatters and vaporizes buildings, cars and brick walls and sends it flying across the landscape. I guess it’s sort of a blizzard of debris.
Even if Trump said it, and even if you believe it was improper, you don't remove a sitting President because he says he'll do something, but then changes his mind.
It is a coup. If successful this country is over.
It is SOP for the 'Rats to have a late-breaking surprise.
Mister Sciff, youre a little man. Its not that youre short, youre little in the mind and in the heart. You tried to make a man little whos boots you couldnt touch if you stood on tiptoe on top of the highest mountain in the world. And as it turned out, youre even littler than you were before. - adapted from 1951 movie People Will Talk.
Here, NO HOUSE REPUBLICANS AND NO SENATE REPUBLICANS are trying to equivocate their support for Trump.
Pierre Delecto has been playing coy, attention wh*re that he is. He needs to think long and hard about what happened to Lil Bob Corker and Saint Jeffy Flake when those two snarky @ssholes stabbed Trump in the back.
These two NeverTrumpers GREATLY underestimated how much Trump is admired, loved and supported. Things did not end well for them. Beware, Pierre Delecto!
Will run to the liberal media crying.
Wrong.
This is the one and only.
They crashed and burned.
