I've tried jury trials for nearly forty years. I cannot imagine a case being presented in a more convincing fashion than is being done by the House managers.

It is hard to imagine any witness being nearly as damning that Trump's own words.

I'm hard put to criticize a trial team that is obviously doing an amazing job.

This "trial" will be over by a week from today, if not sooner.

They'll get 57 votes max for conviction.

Expecting otherwise is just getting your hopes up that we still live in a Democracy.
