41. Well...that would do it.

Because they could not lie - too many people heard the calls, and were told about the calls.

Might be a good thing.

I was just talking to my wife tonight, you know, and I told her that if we went to the way-back-when, when we were both kids in the sixties, Trump would have lasted...well, he wouldn't even have made it past the primaries.

It just blows us away, how these Republicans can just sit there and lie. It drove me nuts when none of them would admit that Obama was born in the USA, and that the birthers were lying. And it drives me nuts now when none of the Republicans admitted he had lost the election.

Well, him getting convicted is a long shot indeed, but at the least the case is being presented. Our guys did a great job with it, too. Two of them are from my state! Neguse and DeGette.
