I can't get my head around how quickly the Dems are running toward ruin. They must think there's at least some chance at winning in the Senate, or they have a Plan C. Or just TDS meltdown. (QRV)

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.

The point of impeachment is to save the House Democrat leadership. And that's it. There's no plan after that.

If Pelosi had not allowed the impeachment to proceed, she was going to be unseated as Speaker. Once she was unseated as Speaker, all committee chair assignments are up for grabs. Pelosi did this to save herself, and the Democrat committee chairmen.

They don't care about the potential impact on the Presidential election because they already had written that off.

Makes sense.
