There is a break in the impeachment drama.
While we wait for it to resume, I thought I would comment a bit on the defense.
So far they are rebutting the House point-by-point. It is a safe strategy. Unfortunately, it may not be the strategy needed.
Why not be more aggressive? It seems to me that the GOP wants to play by all the rules, but the Democrats do not play that way. It seems that the GOP is content to complain about how the Democrats don't play by the rules while continuing to play by the rules themselves. Again, this is pretty safe, but it may prove to be ineffectual.
We have some news about Bolton. This wasn't in the House's case but we now going to hear about it? Not by the rules, kids.
This is a dangerous game they are playing. If you continue to play by the rules and look like a chump when you do, you lose the confidence of your supporters. It's like Mike Tyson biting Evander Hollyfield in the ring, but being allowed to continue with the fight. If you don't stop the fight right there, then what prevents the whole thing from devolving into an all-out street fight?
Are there to be rules or not?
