I, too, interpret the congresswomans comment as positive. ill remind my friend they can take three-fourths of a loaf. failure is not an option here. it will do serious damage to our party, serious damage to the administration if they try to take this bill down. hopefully after this process plays out, the democratic leadership can work on an agreement with senator manchin and senator sinema. but to be perfectly honest, a lot of things theyre looking for will be ducked to the end. nobody will get ...

So hes going to have to make this calculation over the next couple of weeks as to whether or not he wants to greatly disappoint the very senators who are telling him to keep it short, keep it brief. not something he is prone to do. but i will tell you, john, i talked to a trump adviser earlier this evening who said, this is a president who will come out of this impeachment process, quote, unquote, unhinged. that this will be a very different president trump. if you feel like hes, you know, bothe...
