He can't control the narrative in front of the country, most of which is not supporting the GOP. emmaverybo Jun 2019 #10

That's all true, but that doesn't move votes in the Senate zaj Jun 2019 #15

I don't agree. Impeachment before hearings will have little impact on the vote in 2020 and emmaverybo Jun 2019 #25

I ove Tribes' idea of not taking it to the Senate at all. lark Jun 2019 #16
