To sum up Day Two:
Baseball legend Yogi Berra once quipped, "It's deja vu all over again."
Everything the House managers said yesterday, was exactly the same as Day One with the exception that it was in a narrative form.
They presented a well-reasoned argument with mounds of evidence to prove Trump abused his office and obstructed Congress.
But their performance didn't really matter.
Trump's team could have consisted of chimps with MAGA hats to guarantee a good show and be just as effective. Republican senators have already sold their souls. They're just waiting for Moscow Mitch to bring the sham trial to an end.
To further illustrate the point Trump bragged yesterday, "We honestly have all of the material. They don't have material."
He was so confident of the outcome that he didn't realize he was admitting he was obstructing evidence again... as in Article II of his impeachment papers.
But that doesn't matter. Trump is unchecked in his power thus far, and if the impeachment process doesn't stop him our 2020 elections are in jeopardy.
Allowing Trump to stay in office will be a nod to Putin, who has played Trump like a chump, and who brazenly interfered in our 2016 election and intends to do the same in this upcoming one.
Time for me to walk on down the road...
