42. Whatever they Faux Snooze say, a big majority in polls want to see a Fair trial.

Even over 70% of Republicans do. So when Nancy says she's doing it to force Moscow Mitch into respecting the oath all Senators must take before the trial, they can't spin that one.

Relax. There are more of us than there are of them. Just got to force them to be fair.
