Why bother? The GOP will exonerate Trump regardless of the evidence against him 'cause they can't afford NOT to.

The Intelligence Committee hearings were, in my opinion, pretty exciting and revelatory.

However, people seem to think that the Senate trial is going to be pretty boring, because of the format.

I'm not sure sure myself. I'm interested in whether or not the Republican defense of Trump changes in the Senate, curious how they'll proceed. I guess they'll mostly say the things they've been saying: Aid did eventually get released, and Zelensky didn't do the investigations (at least as far as we know) so there is no harm and no foul. And they'll probably criticize the fairness of the House proceedings. So, like before, not bothering to argue against the facts of the case, because that doesn't work when the facts are against you.

It is interesting to me that people like Susan collins and Mit Romney are saying they'd be interested in hearing witnesses....but at the same time, I wonder if that is a way of feigning objectivity for people in mixed districts where they are hearing from constituents that they want to see them call witnesses. Or maybe the opposite is the case, maybe they really want to vote against the President and just are trying to get more political oxygen in which they can vote their opinion without suffering extreme political consequences.

The thing is, I know that some republicans want to call people like Hunter Biden and alexandre Chalupa to the stand, which makes me think they aren't really taking the process seriously to begin with since those people cannot possibly shine any light as to what the President was actually doing.

Only a handful of republicans/republican congresspeople have the balls to at least admit that the President did something wrong, even if they think impeachment is too strong a remedy for it. I hope they take that seriously enough to at least advocate for a censure of President Trump so that there is some kind of political slap on the wrist for it besides the impeachment itself, but I don't see that happening...

A big part of me thinks the Republican congresspeople overestimate the power of the Trumps and this is a political error that will give them neither short-term nor long-term political benefits...but that's an optimistic view. Probably at the end of the day the whole thing won't have an effects on anything.
