Is she at risk of having this somehow nullified if the dems don't maintain a majority?

Running out the clock. I like it. Only 319 days left on the HELD HOSTAGE countdown.

Then he can hold her in contempt of the Senate.

If the impeachment is passed, then no matter what papers have been transmitted or not, Mc Connell can sya we’re doing a trial based on what we’ve heard and we’re acquitting. The thing is passed or not passed, never mind when the paper work gets there.

She also appears to have no leverage in seating her dentures in the morning either

The Mexican shootings have affected him more than we know...is my guess.

No need to hand them a potential issue when they’ve screwed the pooch so badly on their own.

America should fire such an incompetent employee.

McConnell should just go forward on the Process (already is probably in very many ways) and if demanded to stop simply use the excuse that he saw the Vote Pass on TV.

STICK THAT IN YOUR BONG AND SMOKE IT PELOSI !!!!

That will leave the ball in Pelosi's court for the next 12 months.

That’s exactly what the Democrats want.

Not a problem. I suspect another addition will be on the way. Look out for Day 2!

That puts absolutely no pressure at all on McConnell, which was the goal. And if they're goal for 2020 is to show that the Dems are about more than impeachment...that will undermine that message as well.

Look, to the extent anyone wants to see Trump impeached and removed from office, and so enjoys dragging this out as long as possible, Trump has already lost their vote anyway. It's preaching to the converted.

But for anyone who thinks this is a waste of time and energy, and would rather see everyone focused on different things even if they're not a Trump fan, dragging it out backfires. They're making their base happy while annoying swing voters.

So if that's Nancy's play, I say let her have it.
