Maybe the only good thing that will come of this is both major parties finally realizing that painting each side as the enemy does nothing to move us forward as a nation.
I'd like to see more bi-partisanship and less politics. Trump has fractured our nation, it's going to take a strong collaborative effort from our elected leaders to heal these wounds.
Moving on...
I truly dont like or buy into Pelosi or Schumur. I think they need to go along with Steny Hoyer, Mitch McConnell and all the other 80 year olds still running the show in DC.
Both parties have a lot to look themselves in the mirror on. The Dems are going to have to manage the AOC vs progressive vs moderate wings on-going. That ain't going to be easy, but imo it's an easier task than what the Republicans have to deal with right now.
I grew-up a card-carrying member of that Party of Lincoln. The Pub's have lost their way over the years with really big issues to reconcile, deeply philosophical ones. The cross-roads they're at is probably the biggest in their history and goes far beyond the impeachment hearings today.
You've got the deep state/Trumper Maga faction. These are the politicians guilty of spreading lies and deceit. The actions and words from the AZ and AR Republicans (among just a few) the last few mos is some pretty crazy s hit. Some of them look to be pretty tied into Q.
There's the more moderate populists and then Romney and a few who mirror him politically and personal values wise.
I think McConnell see's the writing on the wall and wants to minimize or completely rid the Republican party of the family of Trump on-going.
For me, the real question isnt the outcome of the impeachment hearing. It's what (if any) influence will Trump have on the Republicans tomorrow?
I truly don't believe our Republic would survive a 2nd Trump term. Doubly so with people like Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Rudy Giuliani, Kushner and Michael Flynn all being part of that significant 2nd/3rd ring of influence over the Exec Branch.
