Republican senators: Sure, Trump’s behavior was inappropriate, but it doesn’t rise to removal from office.
Sen. Manchin: OK then, how about a resolution censuring President Trump for inappropriate behavior?

A censure vote would presumably happen after the votes on conviction/acquittal, and after the court of impeachment has adjourned. It would be a resolution passed by the Senate sitting as a legislative body. Would McConnell permit such a resolution a vote? cnn.com/2020/02/03/opi…

The weirdness of Iowa, explained by @amandacarpenter: “Then, there are parents...Someone needs to watch the kids if a parent is going to stand around a caucus room running from corner to corner to support their candidate...” thebulwark.com/is-the-iowa-de…

A fine piece by @Peter_Wehner. Because he's a nicer person than I, Pete finds the spectacle of Republican politicians "beaten down and broken by Trump" "a poignant thing." I too once found it somewhat poignant. I now find it simply contemptible. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

If it's clear Walsh and Weld will fail, "those Republicans and independents who believe in 'equal justice under the law' should...vote in Democratic primaries for the most acceptable candidate, and then support that candidate in the general election."

What election is most conducive to this "overall ideological result: less power to the illiberal nationalist conservatives and less power to the illiberal radicals on the left?" A compelling argument for what we should wish for by @Tracinski.

No way Mike Bloomberg would demand a BOX for the debate.
Trump might want a BOX.
Bloomberg would insist on something MUCH classier. Perhaps a mechanized mini-platform from the Met Opera? Or a proscenium (whatever that is)?
Campaign slogan: Mike: Make Billionaires Classy Again

An epitaph for the Republican Party in the time of Trump.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

If Trump “wins reelection in 2020, [it] will inspire authoritarians and dishearten their subjects. It will set a negative example for both US political parties that there are no consequences for cheating and lying. The downward spiral will accelerate.” nybooks.com/daily/2020/01/…

“That someone of the high crimes and low character of Trump now commands complete Republican fealty says [much] about the state of the GOP....Worse, the GOP sees Trump not as an embarrassment to endure but as a working model to perpetuate.” nybooks.com/daily/2020/01/…

“When history gets around to rendering the ultimate verdict on the Trump impeachment, Trump’s defense will be remembered as...a curiosity, entirely lacking in any precedential value. Or perhaps even as a negative precedent. Otherwise we’re in big trouble.” thebulwark.com/the-gops-sham-…

The reaction of the media tonight at the 801 Chophouse in Des Moines, when they learn the DMR/Selzer poll won’t be released, and that they therefore can’t use it to guide their punditry for the next 48 hours: pic.twitter.com/0glucScgEG
