thepoliticalinsider--2020-01-21--President Trump Wins His First Impeachment Trial Victory as Senate Votes 53 to 47

President Trump won a Senate vote on the procedures to follow for the rest of the trial .
This was a test vote on other issues and the president won on what seems to be a party line vote .
This bodes well for him for other issues in the trial and for an eventual acquittal .
This vote was after hours of advocacy from both sides .
Dems ironically stressed a “ fair trial ” even they denied that kind of due process to the president in the House .
The president ’ s lawyers stressed that the Dems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is no case but rather a desire for revenge because they lost the 2016 race and are likely to lose the 2020 race .

The defense- The president ’ s defense team is aggressive and their team personifies it .
They have already come out swinging in their contention that no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thing is a charade much like past democrat distractions and time-wasters the country has endured since 2017 .
They will run into several Dem members of the Senate that want a full blown trial to cover their tails in case they decide to vote for acquittal .
Given today ’ s vote , they won ’ t get it .
But the Dems know calling witnesses is a two way street and one they could get run over on very quickly if the defense calls the original whistleblower , CIA leaker Eric Ciaramella @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attorney like Alan Dershowitz would do to that guy on the stand ?
Little Eric would be left whimpering into his fave blankie , later cozying up in his onesie and lamenting to his stuffed animals what the mean lawyer man did to him in public .

Another presidential hopeful, Andrew Yang, and a host of other Democrat supporters also took a few swipes at Hillary.
“For her to come back and, you know, say that nobody likes Bernie does not seem like a very helpful message, Yang told CBS News.
Peter Daou, a past adviser to Clinton, chimed in with a column denouncing her comments about Bernie’s supporters.
The two-time presidential loser had railed against the “Bernie Bros,” noting their online attacks directed at his competitors were particularly venomous towards women.
Daou called Clinton’s comments “profoundly wrong” adding they “reflect(s) placed priorities on the part of the Clinton camp and an unfortunate willingness to amplify destructive myths about Sanders and his supporters.”
Gabbard’s assessment that she is simply a petulant child is spot on. Clinton is still bitter at Bernie for not withdrawing from the 2016 primary early on and, in her mind, costing her the general election.

Bad Blood
Gabbard and Clinton have had some particularly bad blood between them, initiated by the former’s suggestion that the latter may run third-party, helping President Trump win re-election by siding with the Russians.
“She is a favorite of the Russians,” Clinton said of Gabbard. “They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far. That’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she is also a Russian asset.”

Gabbard would later respond suggesting Clinton’s accusations were not made by “a normal person.”
We’re not dealing with a normal person here. We’re dealing with somebody so psychologically scarred from losing to Donald Trump that she lashes out at everyone she feels is responsible, or who might be responsible for his second term.
We’re dealing with a petulant child.

” Variety reported that Swift ’ s new song is played during the ending credits of the Netflix documentary .
