(22,236 posts)that conviction will fail, and the fact that you are so sure that impeachment hearings will do no good, makes me more than a little bit curious.
BTW, how is it that you are 100% sure that conviction will fail? Six months from now, the entire atmosphere among the corrupt GOP'ers might no be the same as it is today, especially when they realize that their re-election chances are slowly going down the drain? How do you know that by the time the impeachment hearings are over that a number of the assholes in the GOP might not change their minds about Trump, once they realize that they will likely get their asses kicked at the ballot box in 2020 if they support him?
Just like I don't know what might happen in the long term, you for sure don't know either. While I do realize that conviction is a long shot, I also know that most Democrats aren't scared shitless about the thought that the Senate won't have enough votes to convict.
