    Default Is Mitch playing Opossum?

    I think Mitch has the votes.

    It only makes sense this is what he would do, to try to make it look like it was not easy for the Republicans to make this decision.

    Unless it’s another bombshell before then this is in the history books come Friday.

    After the Republican Caucus today, he told his highest ranking Senators- HE DOES NOT HAVE THE VOTES TO BLOCK THE WITNESSES!

    it means he can't count the votes yet to not call witnesses. considering the crap like Romney's Trump hate and Collins severe re-election paranoia - he may not get them by Fri

    If you mean is Moscow lying, I would think so. He will not permit a vote on witnesses if he will lose.

    That was her goal? Make it close? Did she confide in you? I haven’t heard her say that, have you? Do you possess some sort of special insight into her thoughts?

    Well, witnesses is plural so that means Republicans get to call theirs too lol.

    Myself and most other Republicans are very much interested what Hunter, Eric Ciaramella and some others will say. My objection to calling witnesses is that it legitimizes half-assed, partisan impeachments. Which means this certainly won’t be the last one.

    Well, the ‘voting for no witnesses is a coverup’ can be played by either side lol.

    How do Democrats plan to argue *against* having Hunter and etc, without looking they have something to hide? Especially, when it’s clear they are either hiding something or are afraid Hunter will say something to blow the lid off their sham impeachment.

    And even a squishy weasel like Romney can only go so far in playing along with the Democrats, so how does he plan to justify a vote against Hunter?

    The polls support hearing from witnesses. Does that mean the polls just support hearing from Bolton? I doubt it severely.

    The problem for the democrat party is Bernie is surging in the polls

    The more this drags on the more it looks like he is the nominee
