Much will depend on the preparation of the House Managers.

They need to huddle and make sure everyone is on the same songsheet.

Adam Schiff said this morning on one of the morning news shows that he was willing to help in whatever way she thought appropriate.

I suppose they might need two or three more?

I think Jamie Raskin might be another?

And perhaps a couple more?

They could name several Assistant House Managers to help with the preparation?

It will be interesting to see what they come up with on Tuesday at their caucus meeting?

There is always the possibility that the entire caucus might vote not to send them over? I suppose the full House will vote?

Will Senate Republicans even try to listen to facts and evidence? No.

House Republican's managers will be psycho.

The House repugs already voted against approving the articles In December.

To be consistent, wouldn't they also have to vote against sending them to the Senate? Except that the Senate repugs say they should have already been sent.

They would not need many Democratic votes to stop the Articles from going to the Senate.

Maybe in my previous post I should have also pointed out that consistency in their positions never matters to Repugs. All of them will vote the way trump wants them to vote.

But this could mean that if the democrats split their votes, the Repugs could determine the outcome.

So Nancy and the democrats need to be very careful in what they do regarding this vote.
