New prediction:
Senate sees this as their golden opportunity to get rid of Trump. They convict him in the senate and remove him, with hopes that the D candidate is toothless like Biden, and they can run a better candidate in 2024.
That would be a huge mistake on their part, IMO. More people like, or if not like, sympathize with Trump for being railroaded than ever before.
I can say that for myself, if they convict in the senate, it means that enough Rs either folded or became traitors, and I won't even bother with whatever RINO puppet they run in Trump's place in November. I'll either do a write-in or stay home altogether, because this impeachment has been a sham by people who couldn't suck it up when they lost in 2016, and if elections don't matter anymore, then I'll stay at home with my guns and ammo and wait for the inevitable.
