Just wondering here. If we did NOT win both seats in Georgia.

Would Moscow Mitch even hold this impeachment trial? I'm not sure he would have.

1. I think he would have had to.

Could be wrong, but I believe that's in the Constitution.

[bluestarone]

2. Yea i would think so as well BUT

I honestly feel that they would act the same way RUMPS lawyers are, and refuse to hold a hearing claiming UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!

[MiniMe]

3. He has to hold it last year, so yes, it would have been held

IMHO

4. Amazing how precarious the whole process of getting rid of trump has been.

2 Ga seats, loss of House seats, numerous foiled trumper plots, ugh.

8. It is unnerving how close we came to NOT getting rid of him

And it is also unnerving how sure we were about unseating Ernst in Iowa, Collins in Maine and Tillis in North Carolina.

Ossoff and Warnock were supposed to be the icing on our cake, not our last gasp of oxygen.

10. It is PRECISELY because Trump used every power of the Presidency

legal or otherwise, to win this election. Risked impeachment to slime President Biden over Ukraine, dismantling the USPS, etc. These are the shocking things we know about. Imagine the things he and his henchpeople did that we don't even know about.

We control the White House and Congress...not by much, sure. However, we control. And we did it with everything thrown at us.

12. Part of the problem, which we don't face much here, is the anti-vote against

some aspects of our party.

5. He would have to hold some semblance of an impeachment trial

but it would have been given the bum's rush through the Senate. It would have been a pale imitation of jurisprudence.

[bluestarone]

7. YEA! Thank God we WON both seats!!

That's how important those wins were!!!!

[Arkansas Granny]

6. I think he would have had to hold the trial, but just like last time, he would allow no witnesses so

it would have been another sham.

[DFW]

9. I fear a near-sham anyway

It will be up to our meek press to give the Republicans no quarter, explain the prosecution's claims in detail, and refute any defense offered that is based on pure Republican fiction.
