McConnell has been thrown for a loop.

He’s lashing out now, and is weak — hitting on process, just as the House GOP did.

He’s angry — thought he had all this sewn up. Pelosi and Schumer threw him off.

And McConnell is lying, saying that Clinton’s impeachment was longer while this was 12 weeks.

This was longer than Clinton impeachment process, from day inquiry announced to the vote.
Now McConnell is basically arguing Trump’s innocence — essentially decided the case even though he’s got to be jury foreman — and only further showing that he can’t be trusted.

Walked right into Pelosi/Schumer trap.
McConnell really is shameless — arguing there was years of investigation of Clinton (compared to Trump).

Yes, years of bogus investigations that had nothing to do with what he was eventually impeached for — which they stumbled on and then opened an impeachment inquiry.
But from the time of the Clinton impeachment inquiry to the vote — was shorter than the process for Trump.

For McConnell. this is a meltdown.

He’s melting down.
McConnell really hasn’t said much yet, though he’s speaking for a while.

Just more process attacks. Lots of anger.

But hasn’t really discussed what he’s going to do.

in the end, he needs 51 votes.

McConnell attacks Dems for promoting the “arms race of polarization”

Now McConnell is defending Trumpism itself — and distorting what it is.

He’s not the first “populist” president, taking on “elites.”

Man, Trump has completely got all the guys at his feet.

McConnell: “A political faction in the lower chamber has succumbed to a partisan rage.”

Haha. Yes, the entire GOP.

McConnell, In the end was all anger and bluster, process attacks, with nothing proposed.

A complete meltdown.

He seemed to suggest he might move to a dismissal.

BUT HE NEEDS 51 VOTES to do anything.

He’s been put in a box by Pelosi/Schumer

#Impeached45
Schumer is now slamming McConnell hard.

Going line by line through his lies and hypocrisy.

Ripping him to shreds.

Dems, this is the fight we need to see!

McConnell doesn’t know what hit him.

#Impeached45
Schumer just keeps hammering.

Some pundits are thinking in the old way — thinking Pelosi and Schumer taking a risk or whatever.

Sorry — that’s old thinking.

Schumer throwing it all at McConnell, eviscerating him.

McConnell needs 51 votes, likely doesn’t have.
