I have to say, it's quite possible that if the House investigation had been fair, not rushed, not so one sided, they might have been able to get GOP to vote for witnesses. In fact, they almost certainly would have.
I think the decorum of shutting out Trumps lawyers and witness list, ensured a much stronger GOP stance. There are already going to be lost jobs on the GOP side come next election, but far more on the Dems side, especially the House. Then, not making your case but making it the senates job to do their work, after shutting out Trump in the House? This has Kavanaugh 2.0 written all over it. No way, Conservatives or libertarians would support these politicians who deny basic process.
The facts are simple. I've been paying attention as much as anyone: Americans want change. Trump is the agent of this change. It's not even a matter of people holding their nose and voting. Now it's, "I can't wait to vote for this guy again and keep this train moving."
There is a bit of anger now also. With MSM, with global socalists and their tactics. People feel abused by so many pushing racial division for their political gains. I see and hear more black Americans than before at his rallies and openly on twitter supporting him. Even a K.C Chiefs player had a shirt with Kayne and Trump on during the interviews. It's a new world for the GOP and America, as long as they can get rid of those who yearn for the Bush years.
