82. That's interesting. Most people react to the truth

Once it's shown to be truth.

The totality of both Mueller hearings today, plus the report, is devastating for Dear Leader. The only way for the D's to be vindicated is to impeach, and to the wind with the Senate composition on the vote to convict.

When the reality of how much Trump sold out the US to get where he is today is known, all D's, all independents, all "normal" R's (however few there are, but I think there are more than a few), and a few deplorables to boot will not support Dear Leader. That alone makes it worth it to me to pursue impeachment.

Truth has a way of winning folks over. Nixon was stupid enough to tape. Trump is far more stupid than Nixon, who was an extremely smart person, so I'm sure that there is something out there that will bring a day of reckoning for the allegations against him.

Regardless of the Senate vote, the WORST thing the D's can do is to not start formal impeachment inquiries after the summer recess is over.
