Norrin, I lost track of your post but I did review the NPR article. I still think 35% is an indicator of a very strong candidacy - and refutes Jim's 'all large donors' claim, but I concede that it is not the majority of Trump's fundraising.

If the Senate follows the House's example, it won't bother risking time consuming court battles and will just acquit.

Andrew Yang warns Democrats: 'Stop being obsessed over impeachment'
Yang doesn't stand a chance as a Democrat Nominee... he makes WAY too much sense on this, and a number of other issues.
Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang warned his party Thursday it had become “obsessed” with impeachment and risked blowing the next election unless it starts to focus on the issues that helped President Trump get elected.
While the other six candidates on the slimmed-down debate stage in Los Angeles praised the impeachment effort as a critical clash, Mr. Yang said the path to victory in 2020 runs through the voters Mr. Trump reached by tapping into their frustrations.
“We have to stop being obsessed over impeachment, which unfortunately strikes many Americans like a ball game, we know what the score is going to be, and start actually digging in and solving the problems that got Donald Trump elected in the first place,” he said, a day after House Democrats voted to approve two articles of impeachment against Mr. Trump.
ETA: HUSH, Andrew, HUSH!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by firstfloor View PostInteresting Pelosi quote in your signature because it seems that impeachment has not moved public opinion, meaning that the division was already ingrained. Impeachment tells the voters that the House has done everything it could do, it shows that the Senate is scared to oppose Trump and it leaves the voters, in spite of Repub voter suppression tactics, to make the decisive move against incipient tyranny.

I do enjoy this sort of thing:
Impeachment, Donald Trump said, could turn a president into “a mess.” A president impeached, he continued, “would be thinking about nothing but — it would be a horror show for him.” In fact, to be impeached “would be an absolute embarrassment,” he concluded. “It would go down on his record permanently,” Trump declared. The future president offered this existential take on impeachment during a 2014 call-in to “Fox & Friends,” in reference to then-President Barack Obama. But his comments were pure Trumpian projection, and prophetic of a dilemma he himself would face almost exactly five years later.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
