This is going to solidify the GOP split

Everybody is all in on how this is going to hurt the Democrats and put pressure on Republicans who voted with them. The Delay on Covid. The way Mitch will use it to hold up everything and drag it out.

This is wrong. The Republicans are anxious to get this behind them as fast as possible. Delay in no way helps. The more time the worse it gets for Trump. Much of the conventional wisdom is based on the media just now coming to grips with how much the power dynamics have changed. Far from working to the Republican's advantage the move to call witnesses is huge for the Democrats.

The pressure has moved to the Republican caucus, while the base is still mainly with Trump right now that is slowly changing. It isn't a rush but a constant trickle that will continue. Now with Biden pushing Covid relief and Trumps actions around the 6th the pressure to get past Trump will only increase.

Trump was Impeached while President.

What the Republicans are doing right now is denying him his chance to defend himself.
That should be our spin on their stupid argument.

Then all hell broke out.

Lets all follow through on that language.

Senator Klobuchar seems really ready to go at Teddy boy.

She was just on Maddow and you could really see the gleam in her eye when she talked about Senator Cruz.

As ranking member on Rules she is leading our side.
