Changed My Mind!

A few days ago I wrote that the impeachment trial was a waste of time - because the Senators had already made up their minds.  Trump will be acquitted, I said, so what's the point.

Today he was acquitted, so on that I was right.  However, for at least the part of the American public that was paying any attention to this trial as it unfolded, the powerful weight of the evidence put forth by the House Managers was a worthwhile exercise.  So in that sense the trial was not a waste of time.

It is nice to see the Republicans go to war with themselves.  Will a viable center-right party survive or will the extreme right take over?  I'll watch with amusement as this next chapter unfolds.
