It would be significant, in my view, if we get over 10 Republican votes in the House for

impeachment, but 20 or so, which is being bandied about as a possibility, would potentially sway a vote or two in the Senate for conviction.

I want to believe but wear many deep scars from past profound disappointments.

I think I am down to hoping that Mitch hates Trump just a bit more than he hates Democrats.

That's gonna stink more every day that goes by. More will come out exposing the coup instigators and no telling what other violence might occur. I'll be surprised if there are no shooters, and wouldn't be surprised by a bomber or two.

considering this man is a clear and present danger to our country, that is unless these people voting against impeachment are with him and his kind of politics.

If they were smart they would come out and impeach him as it's their chance to get rid of him forever.

McConnell and Liz Cheney at least somewhat gets it. If McConnell is a yes vote it likely is over for Trump, as we likely would get the 17 or so Repubs needed to get to 67.
