Right now a lot of time is being wasted on nonsense whereas it could have been used for more productive endeavors. What a charade. What a sham.
The constitution requires senators to take an oath when sitting for impeachments. That oath includes one of impartiality. Two senators, including the majority leader, have announced they are expressly not impartial. The majority leader said they are working in total coordination with the defense's lawyers. And that it would be mutual assured destruction to have witnesses.
A trial without witnesses, or documents, before a body on oath of impartiality, triers of law and fact.
A sham you say?
I don’t want to get too much into political speculation on HN, but Trump is a big turnout driver due to the enthusiasm of his base. If the democratic nominee comes from the current candidates, and something crazy doesn’t happen vis a vis a brokered convention or economic recession, I’d say Trump will probably be re-elected. It will be due primarily to that enthusiasm, but also to independents who may not like the guy, but are happy with the economy and scared of/angry at the Democratic Party.
According to most oddsmakers, Trump is currently the favorite to win. Granted that may change when the Democrats select a candidate.
You're going to have to elaborate a bit more if you're going to make such bold statements pretending to speak on behalf of all or even the majority of Americans.
