So, cut to the chase. Did we need a simple majority to move this forward?

I'm hearing all kinds of gloom and doom, but what is the final outcome?

1. Are you referring to Impeachment? Only a majority vote was needed to continue the trial. n/t

11. The final outcome will be very similar to the vote just completed.

The process is more important than the conviction. I do think that, at the appropriate time, Trump should go to a real trial, with a real judge and real jurors. He may not fare so well without his Republican Party life support system. I would love to see him tried before a typical D.C. Jury.

That is 180 degree turnaround from what I thought before the election. Before the election I felt that if he was removed from office, that it would be an unnecessary divisive action to try a former President. Boy, did that ship sail.

13. I'd recommend to Trump that, for his real trial, he should get real lawyers. nt

14. Trump's current bozos are walking into a sure thing.

It doesn't matter how bad a case that they present, they will get a win, and they know it. You don't need the A-team for that.
