It's incredible to me that the impeachment hearings are still moving forward. We've now seen two weeks worth of this lack of performance art and have yet to hear anything that remotely approaches an impeachable offense. The Dems are still have a trial in search of a charge.
As of now, we know that there have been a bunch of bureaucrats who have been unhappy with the policies that President Trump has followed concerning Ukraine. That's it. Oh wait, we also know that President Trump didn't consider Ukraine all that important. And yes, we also know that the impeachment witnesses are busy telling us what other people said (not the President), what other people did (again not the president or at his direction) The Dems still seem unwilling to recognize that to convict the president, the has to be some evidence of wrong doing by the President (and there isn't any.)
One group of onlookers has decided that Trump has to be impeached. They hate him. Were Trump to help a person with a walker across the street, this group would scream impeachment or "we have him now!"
There's a second group that tries to look insightful but seems incapable of recognizing the actual evidence (or lack of evidence.} These people say things like Trump didn't go too far in his phone call with the Ukrainian leader, but you have to look at the call in the proper context. What Trump did was wrong, but maybe not impeachable. Of course, if you press these folks to tell you how Trump's actual conduct was improper, they try to change the subject. They just don't know. It's sad.
Then there's a third group. This is the bulk of all Americans. They have already concluded that there is nothing to these charges. They stopped watching by the second day of hearings (if they ever watched.) They figure that if there ever is a "smoking gun" or even minor evidence of wrongdoing by Trump, the endless coverage will break it's way into the consciousness of this group. These are the folks who have gotten it correct.
