Pelosi said she wouldn't move on impeachment until it was bipartisan. And now I think it will be

Given the abrupt change in mood in the country and on the Hill in just the past few days, it is certain that some Republican House Members will vote to impeach and some Republican Senators (even if just one or two) will vote to convict him, making impeachment a bipartisan effort.

While I I still don't think it's likely that there will be enough votes in the Senate to convict, that's no longer a given, considering how much the ground has shifted in the past few days just based on one revelation. Who knows what else will come out in the coming weeks that could push just enough Republicans to vote to convict to ensure that he will be removed from office?

I just know that political reality/pragmatism/self-preservation won't allow some of them to vote to acquit him if more dirt comes out on him. Some of them are already wavering and hiding and we haven't even heard the worst yet.
