84. When it comes to their audience of "one"

then what THEY think is not important. It's what their "audience of one" thinks - and it is playing as "not exonerated unanimously".

AND the Democratic Caucus held fast, which makes it worse, regardless of the outcome, because all the media assumed that (D)s would lose at least one Senator and thus the "acquittal would be bipartisan", which didn't happen.

And I wouldn't worry about RMoney. He is a very wealthy Vulture Capitalist, so he is no milquetoast. In fact anyone who does that type of business is vicious as hell. Plus he grew up with a father who was a governor so he knows all about "politics".
