Spin Zone / Re: New impeachment theory - the Dems voted a broken impeachment on purpose
« on: December 14, 2019, 06:49:30 AM »I disagree about Trump being the true target of this, he is a strawman here. Sure, they'd like to hurt him, but more than that, they want their base incensed about him and then incensed at Republicans for voting against their sham. The sad part is that it's going to work, at least with their base.I think CNN has moved it below the fold because the Republicans now get to fight back without one hand tied behind their backs.
My feeling in the moderate world is that Democrats come out looking...pathetic...for pushing such an obviously flawed impeachment package. I think the damage to them with moderates is greater than their gains with their base and we know that because moderates are tuning out impeachment. Even CNN has moved it "below the fold".
They will have to hear from Barr. They will have to adhere to the rules of evidence. They will have to listen to Republican witnesses. They will have to operate under the Senate rules. And they know ALL of that will be bad for “their side.”
