All the splenetic, galaxy brains yammering about why Pelosi wouldn't embrace impeachment on their timetable can STFU. In a move that should shock exactly no one with half a brain, Senate Republicans will not remove Donald Trump from office. Does this represent a dereliction of their constitutional duties? Sure. Do they care? No. Will it make a difference in 2020? Probably not.
Impeaching the most corrupt president in our history was necessary, but ultimately, Republicans are going to turn any examination of the factual record into a partisan mudfight and the larger public, made up mostly of morons if the "man on the street" interviews are to be believed, will write the whole thing off.
This was inevitable and sad. And deeply dangerous for constitutional government.
