Disrupt and Confuse

This is what Donald Trump wants in the Senate trial. It will take only two or three Senators to disrupt the proceedings, if they so desire. Trump should have little trouble finding Senators to do his bidding.

No doubt, McConnell is looking for 51 votes to carry his agenda. Primarily, that would be to end the trial as soon as possible. That may be more difficult than he now imagines.

However, things do not always go according to plan. Once the gravity and seriousness of the proceeding is recognized and accepted, the trial may become longer and more thorough than presently anticipated. Trump's pre-conceived narrative for his impeachment trial may not go the way he plans?

Senate Republicans won't pay a price for staying with the President unless their constituents require them to pay a price, and the evidence is that in those senate elections, they mostly won't pay a price.

Depressing.

Still amazing that so many embrace these cretinous leaders of mind and behaviors in participating through human "equality" under rule of law for "life, liberty, and a pursuit of happiness?" There's seriously something amiss!
