Trump’s Impeachment trial has been going on for a week now. As of today we are on the third day of the hearings and as you may know the democrats are trying to convince some republicans to get their needed two thirds majority vote in the senate. Today trump states that the Democrats have a “completely bogus” Ukraine theory, pushed by attorney Rudy Giuliani, that led to his abuse of presidential power and then impeachment. The democrats have solid information about their reason to impeach trump. They state that instead of Trump gaining votes from Russia, it was in fact Ukraine aiding the president. The Democrats were supporting this theory and have brought up what they thought would be questions asked by the opposition in the latter days of the trial. Currently their case seems to be very compelling. Even the top Senate Democrat, Chuck Schumer states otherwise. He stated that the republicans can help but be “glued” to Democractic Senator Schiff’s testimony. They feel that the Republicans are finally listening to them. There is constantly new information on Trump’s abuse of power with Ukraine and it further supports the Democrats. Although the house was basically divided on partisan lines, the Democrats think they could possibly win this.
Questions:
1. Do you think the Democrats can get that ⅔ majority they need?
2. Do you think the Democrats are able to continue putting up a valid argument?
3. How do you think Republicans can counter these arguments that the Democrats are putting up?
