f the goal was to damage President Trump by formalizing the impeachment inquiry, it’s Mission Unaccomplished for House Democrats.

If anything, the vote solidified Trump’s hold on power. There were zero GOP defections, meaning we have zero drama heading into the public phase of impeachment. Everyone is pretty much in the same lanes they’ve been in since the Russian-collusion investigation, the obstruction of justice investigation and every other investigation.

Unfortunately for the Democrats, that gives people little reason to be glued to their screens when House committees take public testimony. The basic story — Trump pressured Ukraine to announce investigations into Democrats that would help Trump — is out there already. People know how they feel about it, and if you believe the polls, they’re pretty evenly split on whether the president deserves to be thrown out of office.

Hit my limit at this source. They want me to pay to read the rest of the article.

Impeachment will be boring because people won't see confrontations in the meetings as the meetings will not be televised. They have zero evidence of wrong doing. And the Donkey politicians are doing nothing to solve the problems people care about.

All the Donkeys have going for them is that the Bankers will pull the plug on the economy before the elections.
