That's an idiotic way to frame things because if the Dems thought he was innocent, the Articles of Impeachment would not have been approved of in the first place.
LOL, because he's innocent? Is that the news headline for the deaf/blind or for those who just emerged from caves?
She's left wing compared to both the party and the entire political system. She just isn't far left. Obama/Hilary weren't and aren't centrist either.
WH and dumbfuck Mitch/Lindsay are already flailing and people are still complaining. Yes, the Dems should only do things that the media may frame appropriately or that the GOP will be happy with.
Because Trump's fragile ego demands it. It's just that simple.
I'm actually starting to wonder if Graham/McConnell aren't doing this on purpose because they hate Trump and want to watch him suffer while claiming that they're out there defending him?
You do realize Republican talking points no longer work on anyone but the cultists right? Who gives a fuck. The bigger failing would absolutely be rolling over and letting the Republicans do whatever the fuck they feel they can get away with. I say fight fight fight.
Sorry that stating blatantly obvious things bothers you so much?
No, my larger point is that 70% of people are uninformed. It's not that I, personally, believe that Democrats shouldn't do things like this. I wish it were that simple.
You conveniently left out the part where Republicans announced that the Senate trial would be rigged.
Absolutely. Some folks who you almost never see otherwise turn up to complain or concern troll. It's funny in how predictable it is.
The removal process. Can these statements come back to bite them in the ass in an official way?
I think the point is that fact isn't "headline news" so an uninformed member of the public (probably the majority of all people if not only the Rep base) won't get that nuance
I do not believe constitution the provide any specific guidance about that so like that other person said it's solely a political process on that front, and the senate is controlled by a super majority.
Does constant coverage and commentary on McConnell's and Graham's comments on CNN for 5 days straight count as headline news?
Congress does have rules underlining the guidelines of impeachment and removal, but again constitution says nothing so like you said as long as their constituents don't care whether they follow these rules, they don't care. It's so weird that we're in constant state of perpetual constitutional crisis.
Keyword there is basically. But nevertheless, the point of impeachment was for evidence to sway polling and force the senate's hand. It didn't happen. That is a negative for the Democrats.
No, that was intentional. Because for it to matter, the narrative would have to have been that it was possible for him to be removed by the senate. We all knew they'd probably acquit, so it was rigged from there.
