      My latest Democrats could have created space for Republicans to convict Trump. So why didn’t they? https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/impeachment-trial-democrats-republicans-convict-b1800545.html …

      Every time a House Democrat speaks in this trial, the smarm & rhetorical overreaching just drip off the screen. It's very hard for Republicans to watch the videos & want to acquit, but it's hard to listen to these guys for hours on end & consider voting with them.

      Senators should, and likely will, mostly make up their own minds - and nearly all 100 of them already had before the trial started. That said, it is natural & human to react to how the two sides make their case.https://twitter.com/adamwinkler/status/1359581548660465667 …

      Is this right? The legal questions should be decided on the merits, regardless of the quality of the lawyers presenting the arguments. A bad advocate with a meritorious case should win. It’s not a sporting competition where whoever scored the most points wins. https://twitter.com/johnastoehr/status/1359579803582484480 …

          There are a few republican pundits who have finally taken stock of where apologizing for the state of the GOP 24/7 has gotten them and their party. But not Dan. In Dan's world, everything is the Democrats' fault and Republicans have no agency.

          I’d like to think on Earth-2 they dumped Swalwell for a moderate Republican, and Trump gets convicted.

          This is an awful take, giving cover to complicit cowards. If Trump was right about anything, it’s that he could do literally anything and his supporters would stand by him. Writers like you make that possible. Also, pretty smarmy in its own right!

          Caruso’s article is textbook motivated reasoning. I’d respect it more had he just came out and said that only Democrats should be held accountable for their actions.

          How many Republican Senators twice voted that the entire process was unconstitutional to begin with, Dan? Do they sound like people open to being persuaded?

          “Natural” /= good. In this case, ‘natural’ goes against rational and responsible and is just unintelligent and unthinking

          Right, it’s the opposite of “rational” and “statesmanlike”. You’re right, but I hate that you’re rubbing my nose in the fact my party kowtowed to a mobster!

          The party of personal responsibility sure has a knack for holding other people personally responsible for forcing them to behave irresponsibly.

          Giving Trump a "Mulligan" is rhetorical overreach.
