All I can think is that the Dems know it's nearly certain they can't win in 2020 and they think even a 1% chance of some big surprise in the impeachment/removal trial is better than that.
But I don't see them resting on a 1% chance to win, either in 2020 or in a Senate trial. I keep thinking they must have another card to play and this is just biding time until they spring it on us in September or something.
And I am reminded they still have the MSM to help whatever narrative they choose. But that MSM hasn't stopped Trump's numbers from climbing every day of this impeachment circus. Why risk that with more of the circus, particularly on the unfriendly turf of the Senate?
None of this is making sense, which makes me feel like there has to be another shoe to fall. That's logical, but perhaps TDS has made even simple logic go out the window.

I still say they will not impeach they will stall and then claim Trump interfered in the impeachment trial by prosecuting them for Treason, Sedition, Child Trafficking, etc.
As far as Hillary I think she's looking to win the DNC primary by way of a write-in candidate this way if t doesn't work she will just say she wasn't running in the first place.

What does it matter what they claim? They've been claiming the whole time that Trump interferes and POTUS has never cared about optics before?
If he has the goods why would he suddenly be afraid they'll say it's unfair?

It doesn't matter except in democratic circles. I believe they are looking for a future sympathetic jury and if that fails a democrat winning in 2024 to issue pardons.

So why would POTUS help them with that? I also doubt they really need much more to convince other democrats, they all consider Trump hopelessly corrupt already.

...convince other democrats..
But they are losing dems; 34% blacks and the dems showing up at trump rallies.

Other democrats don't need convincing. Also some minor upticks in POTUS approval among blacks doesn't change much, they still have a stranglehold on their vote and did well the last few elections.
the dems also have generally higher approval, if everyone in the country voted tomorrow they would win hands down....the only reason conservatives manage to stay in the game is they actually show up.
