If the treasonous criminal wannabe dictator is not ousted for his treasonous and criminal behavior by the Senate, then it'll be left up to the American electorate in 2020.

Personally, I think a lot of it has to do with the way Schiff has made himself the judge, chief prosecutor and jury - running to the cameras every chance he gets announcing 'guilty'.
I think Schiff has done the Democrats an incredible disservice.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

It appeared to be a bunch of self-important career dimplomats (I don't know WHY my hands always type it that way!) and officials who think that they knew more about foreign policy than the President who was authorized to direct it, and boiled down to a whole lot of "he said she said".
I think that's why, as the hearings progressed, more and more people tuned out, and the support for impeachment began to fall.

Looks like this impeachment is going the way of the Russian Collusion Hoax....
Democrats Hoped to Sway Republicans on Impeachment. That Dream Has Failed to Become a Reality
Twelve witnesses. Five days. Zero Republican defectors.
With the public phase of the House impeachment inquiry believed to be complete, Democrats are inching closer to impeaching President Donald Trump. But there remains to be any House Republican who has indicated they support the removal of the president—leaving GOP leadership worry-free.
Despite several current and former administration officials painting a damning portrait of a president who sought to pressure a foreign counterpart to engage in investigations abroad that would benefit him politically here at home, Republicans did not budge. Democrats have, as a result, appear to have failed to persuade their colleagues across the aisle.
In fact, the moderate GOP members whom Democrats pointed to as potential swing voters who could shift the impeachment tide within the Republican Party swung the opposite direction, backing their colleagues' opinion that the allegations that Trump engaged in bribery or abused his power lack evidence. And while his alleged wrongdoing may have very well been improper, they said, they've made clear their belief that Trump's actions do not deserve impeachment.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostI tend to think it says something very bad about the moral state of our country.
Of course, that statement is made at every Trump rally.
