The impeachment trial of Donald J. Trump is coming down to one big question: Will Democrats, by crying wolf, drown out the more legitimate Republican cry of foul?
The legitimacy of the first portion of the House inquiry-including numerous subpoenas-is in doubt, since it was conducted before the House voted to open it.
Now come Democrats and the press insisting it is Senate Republicans' job to call yet more witnesses on their behalf, namely former national security adviser John Bolton.
How many senators have the stomach for the months this duty to fairness would require? How many Republicans think weeks and weeks more of this torturous process is beneficial to their re-election? And who thinks that this is the Senate's job anyway?
Republicans who hope a vote for witnesses will protect them from Democratic assault are in denial.
Far better for Republicans to shut down the whole circus.
Go about reminding voters of the merits of Republican governance versus the theatrics of the partisan "Resistance." Move on to the true way Americans are meant to settle political differences in this country-the November elections.
