Raising the curtain

I could read about Bill's impeachment on wiki but I want something more.  I don't know about this Bleyer guy, I think I want something more objective with a lot of background on the guys who wrote it and what they thought and what they thought that.

So I guess all this preceding chatter has been kind of like the murmuring and the passing of boxes of popcorn before the curtain rises, and now we can sit back and watch the show.  I see where they have improved the hearings, it's not going to be five minutes dem, five minutes reps, repeat until the flying chairs make you dizzy,  I think both sides will have their own questioner and that guy will spend like 45 minutes interrogating the witnesses,  This may tend to be a little boring but I do expect the republicans to disrupt the hearings from time to time, because they are like the guy who never puts his jacket on, they just can't sit still.

I don't know what legal loopholes Old Dog is referring to.  And the reason the senate will not vote to indict the president is not because of some legal niceties, it is because Trump has 90 percent approval among republican voters.  If it was a dem charged with the same things their thumbs would be down in a heart beat.

Here's one way to look at it.  the dems want the public to think that this is a simple matter, and the reps want the public to think that it is a complicated matter.

It occurs to me that while the senate is the jury that will be handing down the verdict, the real jury will be the voters, or more specifically the independents, the undecided, the great wishy washy.  Lately I have noticed that they are calling them the suburban vote which seems fair enough, the cities are bright blue and the rural areas are bright red, and the purple is in the edges between them, the burbs.

Almost surely the prez will not be tossed from office, but if there is a significant blueward tilt in the purple areas it will be a victory for the dems, if it weakens a few rep sens so that they fall and the dems take the senate there will be dancing in the street in the bluetown.  Also they are hoping to blue the purple states that will give them the presidency.

The reps will appeal to the tribe, look they are trying to get rid of our president, they are a bunch of shits and traitors.  They will be hoping to redden the purple areas so that maybe they can take the house and also assure a second term for Trump. 

So gentlemen the true jury will be the purples and the true verdict will be the 2020's election.  Let the games begin.
