I think the Republican Senate is licking its chops and preparing to counter the liberal trial with liberal rules in the House with a good old fashioned American court trial with American rules and an American judge. Nope, the anti Trump, anti conservative, anti Republican, anti American, anti social conservative, anti law enforcement energy in the Democratic party isn't going to be vanquished by a trivial internal dispute alone as you say, it's going to be shutdown by those who have seen enough of the liberal bullshit and the liberal games and vote to have the Republican party shut them down and essentially place them on ignore so that some more important American related stuff can be accomplished and properly funded.

Look at the facts of the case and tell me how anyone can give this guy a pass without looking like a sock puppet?  He did a lot of this in public, right in front of the national press -- video cameras rolling.  What went on behind the scenes has either emerged through the valor of military and civil servants testifying at their own risk, or is part of the stonewalling that will eventually be addressed by the SCOTUS.  This already looks really bad.  It's going to look a lot worse before it's through.

But for sake of argument, let's say that the Trumpists manage to get their boy reelected.  I seriously doubt that this will be with an all GOP Congress, and the knives will then be out in earnest.   The vitriol will be at an all time high.  If the Senate falls to the Dems, no one appointment will be approved.  If the House remains with the Dems, assume the funding for anything Trump will be zero.  I'm certain that Trump will be Trump, and may get impeached a second time … and a third, if necessary.  If short, no one gets out of that scenario intact.
