Chris Coons: How Will History Remember GOP If They Shrug Off What Trump Did? | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

House prosecutors did what they could in an unjust universe. I appreciate their effort. Now it's up to us to eradicate this cancer from the white house.

The GOP doesn't care about their reputations. Money, that's all they care about.

The Senators might think we were not watching them taking the oath —but we were !

Trump: "I am tremendously opposed to Bolton testifying, because he knows my thoughts. He knows the inner workings of my depraved and diseased riddled mind. He's had a front row seat to my abominable and sociopathic behavior. More importantly, he knows about many of the unspeakable things that I've done. And that poses a threat to my personal freedom. If Bolton ever tells what he knows, I could literally end up in prison, like many of my former associates, who made the mistake of falling for my cult of personality, and pledging allegiance to me."

The people of the United States need witnesses and documents!

[markvines]

Americans hate hearing it, but the world is shaking it's head and asking, " How is this able to continue?" It's hard to admit but your political system is deeply flawed.

[dutchpy]

As a Conservative, at this moment, don't want to be called "Republican".

[MR-intel]

Trump and his enablers will be remembered like Hitler and Stalin and their enablers.

[Toocoolforunclesam]

There wont be any history after the fascist take over.

[Matthew_Murray]

Order for a mind to be change first you would need to find a function mind in the GOP

Adam Schiff would be a great president.

[bipolarbear]

Brian Williams great question about 'secret ballot'. I've always thought it was more honest and accurate. Why don't they have a 'secret ballot'. That way, no one needs to worry about recriminations. It's very simple. The ballot box stays in view the entire time, and the counting is scrutinized by independent parties, so that no interference can occur. Why don't they put this forward as an option. Show of hands always promotes following the herd, not necessarily the truth.

I’m an Aussie and I have watched this trial and the preceding time since it’s election.
How anyone can say it is not guilty is preposterous.
Only in Shithole land.

[DavidJ]

How much damage can Trump do? Well I don't know. Let's ask Atlantic City. 😲

[jayneberkley]

Mr Schiff, is a National Treasure, well done Sir👏.

[cidercik]

Be happy you can vote your mistake out. In the UK, we are stuck with brexit.
Go Bernie!

[ClubMillennium]

The LEGENDARY JOHN MCCAIN moment is what this is all about now!

Anyone republican courageous enough to step in his legendary shoes will get a spot to be in the revered place for real American HEROES!

[corinnewinterrousset]

I wish the GOP members of the Senate, many of whom I do respect, would cut this President loose and recoup their losses with Pence as President for one year. They can run another respectable Republican in 2020, who will repair the damages done to their party or continue on with this loser. Tough choice,

[paintinganimalsonrocks]

But then Flake flaked and vote FOR Kavenaugh and now he's gone.

[pearlbarkley]

The truth has been presented even if no more witnesses are called.... they can decide RIGHT NOW!!!
