To the contrary, it's the Republicans who should be gloating
/Pelosi orders her munchkins not to gloat during impeachment vote: “try to look serious”.
Pelosi’s evidently believes that by leaving the pussy hat brigade outside the chamber and dressing her acolytes and lickspittles in black, the Democrats can fool a gullible public into buying the pretense that there’s something other than a partisan circus going on here.
That would be the same public that saw, at the very minute he was being sworn into office, the Washington Post proclaim, “The campaign to impeach President Trump has begun”. The politicians and their operatives in the press may put on solemn faces, but none of them can manage a straight face during this farce. Voters know that this has f*** all to do with the constitution and everything to do with the continuing campaign to overturn the 2016 election. Some voters are perfectly happy with that, others, not. We’ll find out how many there are of each next November.
Until then, stiff upper lip!
