If they are intent on acquitting as it appears,make them choke on it

Witnesses, subpoenas, the whole 9 yards. Drag it all out in the open.

The House Managers more than made their case if Senate Rs were operating in good faith. Since they aren't, hang it all on them.

No, they didn't. They understood from the beginning that the GOP was not going to operate in good faith. The entire world knew.

Their target audience was never people like Cruz. It was the few R Senators who might have open minds and the American public, with the emphasis on the latter.

Is a bipartisan verdict - with more than one R Senator voting guilty.

And then we start writing the reelection ads against them.
