Forceful_Dragon 11/21/19 4:30:56 PM #247:	KamikazePotato posted... So here's a pessimistic take on things: What do any of these proceedings actually change? As fun as it is watching corruption be called out, Trump isn't being impeached either way and no one in the Fox News camp is going to believe anything that comes out of it. It's still a necessary step. It is imperative to preempt the cries of "If what trump did was so wrong why didn't you impeach him?". They need to be able to point back to these hearings and say "we did everything we were required to do by the constitution to remove trump from office. We held hearings and we discussed events at great length and we reached sound conclusions." And then they can point to the specific senators who vote to acquit as to the reason why Trump was not removed. It might not move the needle on removal for office, but it can sure as heck move the needle on specific Senate races next November. --- ~C~ FD https://imgur.com/dGDfxaw <cite>Forceful_Dragon posted [p:930490072] in Politics C...
