Well then we'll see. I think this matters more for the Senate than for the presidential election. I don't think this changes Trump's election chances at all.

It definitely does, also this isn't really the point of the reaction thread

Don't get carried away by today. Impeachment polling has been going the wrong direction the past week. Today is a reality check that might put it back where it was. Even at its peak impeachment was slightly underwater in Wisconsin, the most likely 2020 tipping point state.

Oh man, you're not allowed to lose a state if only slightly under half of people think you should be removed from office for crimes

it's hard when you have a clear idea of what you're trying to ask, and because you know what you mean you can't see why a question makes no sense to anyone else, and have to try to fix it on the fly when you're suddenly stressed out

and he doesn't have the time to really mull it over cause he only has 5 minutes

I'm not mcmagic, I can see a person fail to do something and do so from a place of understanding.

that was more like what a good cross-examination would look like

Yup - "If you say yes, it means X-Y-Z", and then he basically forced him to say "yes", even though he doesn't agree with that first point.

Blind Rasputin posted:

I don’t think that “yes” was a good outcome for the Dems. I can’t see how that’s not going to be all over the news with “investigation over.”

Like, wtf just happened. Sondland just invalidated his entire testimony?

No, they Republican scored points because they got him to admit that he doesn't have proof, just that it's really obvious.

PlasticAutomaton posted:

So uh what happened during that recess? Sondland went from flipping to hostile again.

No, he's just saying a very narrow thing.

It came out of Cornyn's mouth that they don't have 51 votes to quickie-acquit, whoever those people are probably would also make the procedure fair.

The Senate Republicans are craven maniacs, but not to the degree of their house counterparts.

Collins is sunk. She made the wrong choice with Kavanaugh and is going to pay the price with it. I would not count her as a swing anymore.

Her main mistake was not picking a side early on and drawing so much attention. Being the single person whose opinion mattered was a really stupid place for her to put herself.

ALso: The whole "two-thirds of the Senate" thing with impeachment probably made a lot more sense when there was less than thirty senators

thank u for coming to my ted talk

The whole point is that you need cross party support, which is NORMALLY a good thing, because otherwise Mitch would have removed Obama in 2014 just because he could.

But it's not great when a major political party is compromised along with the President.

PC LOAD LETTER posted:

Democrats would have to maintain a majority in the House + win a simple majority in the Senate (I think they need 52 or 53 seats since some Blue Dog Dem senators already said they'd vote against changing the filibuster) + get the presidency + immediately eliminate or modify the filibuster to what it was decades ago so everything couldn't be stopped up in the Senate by a single Repub and THEN the Dems would have to do stuff (at a minimum) like get the Fairness Doctrine reinstated.

Dems have a pretty good probability of keeping a majority in the House and a decent one at getting the presidency but the Senate will be a long shot at best and the most likely Dem candidate to win the election (Biden) flat out won't change or get rid of the filibuster and really in terms of policy is basically a 90s Repub so yeah that probably isn't happening.

The fairness doctrine would be absolutely horrible and only give credence to insane right wing theories on the regular news

Solvency posted:

I honestly don't think this the party CAN abandon him, he's simply too large of a megaphone. I think if he loses in 2020, he will be stay in the limelight and hint at a 2024 run, after he spends about a year or so on how the elections were wrong and stolen from him. His cultists, which are a significant part of the republican party these days, will go along with it, and he will publicly denounce any active politician who still goes against him. He's going to be the Reagan of the republican party even if they don't want it, and Fox will be hesitant to completely turn on him just because of how much of the base will follow him to the ends of the earth. 2020 will not be the least we hear of Trump, and we will likely have the rest of the Trump clan and allies run in races for many elections to come.

He could die at basically any moment
