This isn’t gonna work against House Democrats…
It’s more an excuse for Senate Republicans to cover their not convecting Trump no matter what…
Confronted with a mountain of damaging facts heading into tomorrow’s opening of the public phase of impeachment, House Republicans plan to argue that “the President’s state of mind” was exculpatory.

How does one discern the “ state of mind” of a stark raving lunatic?
