The House Managers have convinced all of the Republicans it's possible to convince [View all]

And nothing else they do, say, or produce at this point will change any more minds. Any Republican open to voting guilty already heard enough to convince them. But the vast majority of Republican Senators are stuck in place and wouldn't vote to convict even if Jesus Christ walked into the chamber and showed a video of Trump confessing to inciting a riot.

The House Managers have done all they can and more. But I think we're at a hard stop on impeachment at this point.

But remember, when this started, no one expected a conviction. And many didn't think there'd even been an impeachment at all. But not only has there been an impeachment, it was handled magnificently and brilliantly and, the stalwart and united Democrats have set the stage for the more complex and more impactful next phase of criminal investigations and prosecutions.

And, perhaps more important, they've laid the groundwork, framed the issues, and shaped the narrative for the first draft of history, which, like the vast, bipartisan majority of Congress, will forever condemn Trump as a disgraced, craven criminal.
