I think Nancy is in the driver's seat. [View all]

No matter what McConnel and the repugs decide to do regarding the Senate trial, I think Nancy probably wins either way

-- If McConnel allows witnesses and documents, it will look like he caved. And the repug senators will appear to be ignoring the evidence when they vote to acquit trump.

-- But the repugs will also look bad if they conduct a short coverup sham trial.

So Nancy and the democrats probably win either way.

But even so, she should hold out and let trump stew until at least after the SOTU speech.
