I know that the Democrats want to rush through this impeachment because they are pretty certain they have more than enough evidence to impeach Trump, but of course it doesn't matter how much evidence there is or how many witnesses they call, the Republicans will deny it, or say 'yeah he did something bad, but not impeachable bad'. So we're back to square one. The House will impeach, the Senate will not.

I would have preferred that the Democrats would have just bitten the bullet and went full steam on taking the refusals to obey subpoenas to court. The courts would have expedited those cases and since all subpoenas are legal and empowered by the Constitution to hand out, the courts would have to rule in favor of Congress. Then these people who were either ordered not to appear or refused out of fear of retribution would have to either appear or be jailed. Sure, that would take a couple of extra months and put us into the election cycle. But at this point I think it's the better choice because those testimonies under oath by people like Mick Mulvaney and John Bolton would be absolutely devastating for the Trump presidency.

Yeah, the country would be divided, but at this point how much more could it be divided than it already is? At least justice would be done and Trump would be not only impeached but removed from office. Denny Dimwit could beat Mike Pence if he replaced Trump in the 2020 election.
