Stunning? Really? Who expected this to go well?

I am completely surprised that any GOP congress critters broke from the party line and voted against impeachment for reasonable reasons like a lack of any reason to impeach.

The stunning part is that they let it go to a vote without having whipped the necessary numbers.

They could have drawn it out with hearings, but they thought they had it in the bag and that their whole caucus was bought into the BS narrative they're trying to to drive leading into this election year.
