God, I hate this.  I know Trump won't be removed, and will probably be reelected.  I still believe it was the right thing to do, but it feels like we're at Balaclava and Lord Raglan just gave us the fatal order.

Unless they're significantly more competent at electoral fraud then everything else they've tried, how?

The polls have been consistently in the 53-56% disapprove zone for almost three years now.

They lost 41 house seats. They've lost governor houses in blood red states like Kentucky and Louisiana. The statehouse in Va flipped.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

This impeachment will show the people on the right that Trump is a criminal and they won't vote for him again. It's a brilliant strategy.

The people on the Right aren't stupid.  They know exactly what kind of man he is.  He's bad man who does bad things.  That's why they elected him; they want him to bad things to people they don't like.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yes. There was a longish article on n+1 discussing this aspect of Trump - he's not a paragon of conservative virtue. He's a champion chosen to fight without quarters against existential enemies.

Maybe. The fundamentals are incredibly strong for the GOP - I mean Reagan in '84 strong. Which, if they win, is how they'll do it.

That it's competitive at all is an indication of Trump's issues.

Getting a pre-existing investigation into a foreign company back on track after Joe Biden derailed it is pretty benign stuff (prompting it from nothing would be different). It's funny to see people supporting impeachment on these grounds claim to care about rule of law, as if anyone here would withhold a vote for or support the impeachment of Biden for his own prior intervention into the same matter.

I'm assuming the senate vote isn't a anonymous thing?
