1. Sounds great, but they might be setting expectations

So that when it turns out to be 15 or 20, they can claim victory.

3. Ten to fifteen percent of Repukes are going to do the right thing?

Be still my beating heart.

4. IF this was the number for the senate it would be good but I think people aren't looking at how MUCH

... they kGOP worships Trump like he's their lord an savior.

They're not going to give it up because 50 house people are voting for his removal.

There needs to be 2 dozen kGOP senators or this is more of what we saw early last year were the kGOP didn't have to pay for their votes for Trump cheating.

The kGOP base is NOT giving up on their lord, savior and whore for Putin "Benedict" Donald J Trump

5. I disagree with Liz Cheney about a whole pile of things.

But she's a big enough deal in their caucus that her statement for impeachment likely gave cover to a bunch of these folks. It's historically rare to get impeachment votes from the president's party, IIRC, so this up to 25 feels significant. Cheney and kinziger, while not absolved of their terrible politics, do deserve credit here.

7. In some ways, Republicans have been unchained to impeach

Trump has had his most threatening (to Republicans) tools taken away... mostly his ability to mass communicate, blackmail, disparage and smear.

Second, Republican funding is under serious stress. Dollars vaporize right out of their hands

Republicans are coin-operated. And they'll go wherever (their) public opinion and funding goes. The primal forces of nature shall not be messed with and they are compelled to atone.
