One other thing that is interesting to note is that all of the Republican whinings about lack of process and not being able to call witnesses in the House investigations is translating into significant public support for witnesses in the Senate trial. If the GOP wanted to exonerate Trump, they would put Bolton, Eisenberg, Mulvaney, and others under oath. But they won't, because the truth is they have no exculpatory defense and their only choice is to deflect, and obfuscate and whine.
Few people are wrapped up in the differences over witnesses. A person that isn't involved in politics everyday needs to know in a sentence or two why he should be impeached. The Dems can't do it.
