Well, it appears that the House is done with testimonies unless someone else decides to come forward. I've watched a bit of some of the testimonies, and caught highlights of others, and the case is very strong imo as to what Trump and his lackeys tried to do. It is obvious to all who don't want to defend him for everything he does that he leaned on the freshman president of a desperate country to make announcements about investigating the Bidens and Crowdstrike. There is zero indication that Trump cared about corruption in Ukraine or anywhere else, he simply wanted political dirt to muddy up Joe Biden.
That said, I don't think he'll actually be impeached. Obviously none of the Repubs will vote for impeachment, but I foresee a good handful of moderate Dems in swing districts alos not voting for impeachment. Enough to prevent him from being impeached.
That said, if somehow there is enough to impeach him, it's a foregone conclusion he will not be convicted. I feel pretty strongly that at least 2 Democrats will also not vote to convict: Doug Jones and Joe Manchin. And I can also see Kyrsten Sinema voting against conviction as well.
So what are your predictions?
