Trumps only real hope is Impeachment Proceedings?

Maybe we are being snookered..

Trump may have figured that impeachment proceedings are what he needs to rally his base. If the Lewandowsky fiasco last week was a preview, he may be emboldened on that track. Could this Biden/Ukraine stir up be a placed story to finally force formal impeachment hearings, thereby assuring Trump a rally of the troops and the chance to beat impeachment through his stonewalling and judged by the walking dead republican senators?

We must impeach or we are done as a country without even trying.

a bunch of people refusing to testify. Then, when forced to testify by the courts, they'll just take the 5th on everything.

It's the proven GOP strategy from Iran-Contra - delay, stonewall and take the 5th

impeachment proceedings, in fact, I think he can only lose voters once the truth comes out about his corruption to a wider audience.

And God Damn! I HATE THAT UGLY FUCKING FACE!!

I must say, in spite of my great respect for Pelosi, that she has been the prime snooker-e!
