Not wanting to believe this but

It does not matter how prepared, eloquent and accurate the Democrats and the Managers are.

It does not matter how inept, ill-prepared and wrong his lawyers are.

Those GOP senators who have whored themselves to him and his cult are not going to convict him.

They just aren't.

The fact they presented more video evidence is gonna hurt them more in the long run. 2022, 2024 and beyond that. Showing what these big crybabies are capable of doing when their daddy didn't win again.

Nor, I suspect, will the ultimate verdict of the God so many of them claim to worship.

Go back during the 2016 election primary season and watch the awful things that these people said about Trump and he about them.
I’d also include Kellyanne and Kayleigh.
Their radical change in “opinion” shows that they are all merely transactional political animals.
Devoid of real feelings.
These are sociopaths.
You can not argue or discuss or even talk with them. There is no point.
You can only DEFEAT them and while they are still in office either ridicule or, better yet, ignore them and deny them the political oxygen of attention that they so cravenly crave.

6. The majority of GOP senators are thinking only about their own interests. If not for the obedient

sheep who do whatever King Donald orders, it might be different. But they only care about keeping their senate seats and to do that they need the sheep vote. I wish I could come back in 100 years for a day and read the history books. The senators who decide to acquit will not be treated favorably. And heaven help us if Trump runs for office again in 4 years. If he wins we lose and if he loses we lose.

11. It matters. It won't bring about a conviction, but it matters.

Truth matters. And the Impeachment Managers have proven the truth, exhaustively and irrefutably.

America now knows, if it didn't before, that this was not just a bunch of overzealous rowdies misbehaving. America knows that it was insurrection, planned and executed at the highest levels. And that it came within yards, and within seconds, of bringing about the end of our republic.

The historical record is clear and the cowards will be remembered, as such.

18. What matters is that it's all on the record now

What matters is that the voters can see everything and decide for themselves without the Faux Noise spin on all of it. What matters is that every one of these incumbent GOP Senators will have to answer to their constituents sooner or later.
