mcconnell never actually defended the president's behavior. he made it seem like that this impeachment was the result of unbridled partisan passions from democrats who just don't like the president's behavior, that they think he's too mean, that he's mean to reporters, mean to nfl players, and that is what has brought this about. of course that is not what actually happened. the president brought this on himself by pressuring a foreign leader to interfere in an election. so that i thought was interesting. at some point these two men will hash out what they think the rules will be. i think mitch mcconnell obviously is in the majority and has most of the power here in terms of determining what this senate trial will look like, and you have the democrats now in some ways sounding like the republicans were sounding on the house side and saying this is going to be an unfair process and prevailing on the president to have those four people testify in this trial.
