Smelling defeat, the impeachment Democrats' united front is showing signs of breaking apart

Like week-old meat left in a hot car, the stench of defeat is starting to overpower the swag pens and stifled giggles in the Democrats' impeachment project.

A source close to House Democrats sounded morose after Trump's defense team made its opening arguments yesterday: "I think our team feels like we did everything possible and are going to lose anyway."

The news comes as we were watching closely for signs of peel-off from either Republicans or Democrats on the Senate floor.

Signs of something happening began a couple of days ago when #NeverTrump Republican and jealous former contender Mitt Romney expressed his displeasure with the Democrats' Schiff show, and made a de facto statement of support for Trump, which we know had to be distasteful to him but not as distasteful as hearing from his voters.

Second, there was the insane "Insult the jurors" strategy employed by the likes of impeachment manager Rep. Jerry Nadler who managed to insult at least two of the four potential swing Republican senators who might have voted with the Democrats who sought to call witnesses to the Senate trial, a job they failed to do themselves when they had control in the House.

Sen. Joe Manchin told reporters he takes his oath of impartiality "Very seriously." He noted that while he thought Democrats did a "Good job," he is eager to hear from Trump's' team and will "See where we go from there."

As time goes on and the public rejects the Democratic impeachment obsession to a growing extent, more Democrats will flee like 'rats from the sinking ship, and join the no-impeach side.
