Pelosi should hold firm on sending impeachment articles, like with the govt. shutdown war SHE WON!

Yes....she should hold firm until McConnell gives in and agrees to a fair trial, not a kangaroo court cover-up! And yes....all Democrats in Congress and all Democratic surrogates should already have been repeatedly shouting, and I mean SHOUTING.....NO KANGAROO COURT COVER-UP!

She won the shutdown war by holding firm.....the public backed her.....and Trump had to give in. The public, even Republicans, by a large margin, are ALREADY in favor of having the witnesses testify and the documentary evidence exposed in the Senate trial. Until a few days ago most Americans hadn't even thought much about witnesses and documents. Imagine how hot it will get for McConnell now that this move by Pelosi has begun to spotlight the issue. And don't forget, McConnell's highest priority is for the GOP to keep control of the Senate so he can continue to run things there. Public pressure WILL work!

Holding out forever would be better than allowing a sham trial that would exonerate Trump. That would be the worst possible outcome, given where things stand today. We must not let that happen!

This is not a hard one....our side is already in the lead on this issue that has just come into prominence , and time will only increase the pressure on McConnell. It's pretty basic...the vast majority of Americans believe in fair trials, not kangaroo court cover-ups!
