by casting their ballots in an election that Trump has already tried to cheat in and, if acquitted, will be free to continue doing without any restraints.
In other words, let the voters decide after the IMPOTUS and his GOP enablers make sure their votes wont count, because the fix will already be in by November.
The Republican party is corrupt to the bone.

(15,115 posts)When the Rs in the Senate let him skate on this one, he won't hold back for November. He will go 100% vindictive on anyone perceived to be an enemy and he will court foreign interference. I am working hard in my little corner of Oregon to get our neighbors to vote, but I'm also very worried.
Your voice is a valuable one here on DU, Nance.

(58,662 posts)and they wanted the trial over quick so they could get back to their spin mode. By drawing it out through her hold, Madame Speaker allowed more info to leak out.
If they go to witnesses, it will last at least another full week, which could take it past the SOTU, and deprive POTUS of his chance to gloat about being "exonerated" in the well of Congress.

(63,868 posts)reason we need to keep the pressure on our Reps and Senators to allow witnesses. I keep on hearing the American people don't care about Ukraine and statements like that. We got to keep the heat on them. We got to show them we know what's going on. They have such deep disrespect to the American people.

What else do we have? 4 more years of a sexual predator who abuses children by kidnapping them from their parents?

(63,868 posts)that's what they want us to do, never give up and never
They want to psychologically wear us down. That is in the playbook. Wear down the masses. Never.

I think the House Managers are the ones who notice this the most; there is no 2020 election with Red Don at the helm

(6,188 posts)Just how f**king stupid does the GOP think the majority of the American voters are.
We are not part of your Kool aid drinking cult.
We see the grifter in the White House for exactly what he is a bully who has never been held responsible for any of his law breaking activies.
75% of the American voters are going to see that witness and documents are seen and heard so you are finally held RESPONSIBLE.

(27,815 posts)They think we're as stupid as their "base" - you know, the people who will swallow anything, no matter how ridiculous, or how many times it's been debunked.
That's a big part of the GOP's problem right now. They're so used to dealing with their gullible brain-dead constituents, they don't know how to deal with intelligent people who ask questions and demand answers.

(63,868 posts)They are thinking we are all ignorant, let's show them we are not. We showed them when we flipped the House. We can't give up our votes, that is our right.

(73,558 posts)Every poll I see shows that the American voters want two things now: Bolton to testify, and the Senate to convict and remove Trump. I'd say that means we have decided.
