The title may have been glib but the subject is extremely serious.

I understand that the Democrats want to seize the moment and push as hard as they can while popular sentiment is forming.

Fine. Turn up the full heat on the "Impeachment Inquiry"... not just on the Ukraine, but use it to re-ignite momentum on other House investigations as well. Keep a steady parade of witnesses testifying on National television.

But unless they can count 20 Republican Senators who commit to voting to convict, it is wrong to ratify any article of impeachment. All that will do is hand control of the process over to McConnell... which will lead to "acquittal," interpreted by Trump as "exoneration," "vindication," and "proof" that Ukraine was another "deep state witch hunt."
