BRACK: Impeachment trial may be Democrats’ last hope to oust Trump

By Elliott Brack | If the Democrats do not want to have to go up against President Trump in the 2020 elections, their best hope is to get the Senate to convict him of wrongdoing in the impeachment trial. Right now, that does not seem likely, as Republican senators appear to have their ears and minds closed and may vote as a bloc to allow him to remain in office. Thank you, Mitch McConnell.
