Hello Aaron,

>Do our liberal friends find Nancy's behavior amusing?

She is competent, unlike the clown who currently resides
in the White House.  There is nothing most folks find funny
about having a clown in the White House.  That is something
liberals and conservatives agree on.

>Let's suppose Trump gets removed from office, and they're already attacking
> Pence too, suppose they remove him too. What's that gonna do for Democrats
> in the long run?

We all know what happened after Spiro Agnew and Richard Nixon resigned
from office in disgrace.  Democrats swept the elections, retaining
majorities in both houses, and won the presidency.  Only, after Pence
and Trump resign from office in disgrace, Nancy Pelosi will become
president without having been appointed or elected.

>Most conservatives are saying "it won't happen."

Trump has serious health issues.  Even if he is not convicted
and removed from office, it is questionable if he will remain president
for much longer.  Pence does not have the kind of persona to win a
presidential election, so the Republicans would have to find somebody
else in order to have a chance of winning.

>But I predict that it can happen.

The first rule of politics is to get elected.  The second rule of
politics is to get re-elected.  A politician has only his own selfish
interest in mind.  That is how the world works, and always has.

>Senate Republicans aren't going to take the trial lightly.

Moscow Mitch may talk big, as if he has the power to move heaven
and earth.  But like all politicians, he has only his own selfish
interest in mind and will do what is best for Moscow Mitch.

Yes, politicians talk the talk.  But rarely do they walk the walk.

>They don't phone in their work.

The chief justice has been sworn in to preside over the trial.
Every Senator is obligated to take the same oath as jurors in order
to conduct the trial.  Does that mean Justice Roberts will be fair?
Does that mean no Senators will be biased or prejudiced in regards
to their own personal views?  Not at all.  Each of them will do
whatever is in their own best interest, selfish as that may be.

>If they find the president guilty, he's going to be removed whether we like
> it or not.

After being convicted and removed from office, he can win the
election in November to get his old job back.  And then win a second
term in 2024.  This would make him the second president to win three
terms in office.

>What will that do to conservatives?

Leaving office at age 86 would make every conservative proud.

>For me, I'll be dragging my friends and family to the polls by their ears.
> But why? Because I'm out for revenge like the libs? Nope - because I care
> about the health and safety of my family, and the Democrats are a threat to
> our well-being.

The main role of conservatives is to hold society together.
This has nothing to do with "Democrats" or "Republicans" or
any other political party.  When the "glue" of conservatism
has become so weak or watered down as to become meaningless,
society will fall apart for having no cohesion.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was perhaps the last conservative
who held the office of the presidency.  He saved society from
falling apart, as it had already begun to unravel due to the
policies of his predecessors.

What we need today is another FDR to save us.

But nobody seems willing to step up to the plate.

Well, almost nobody.

There is Amy.  At 5'4", the cameras sometimes roll over her
head and people forget she is there.

So. Unless Amy Klobuchar is able to connect on a Hail Mary pass,
it looks like it will be all over for the US of A.  May it RIP.
