Totally agree and I have been calling for a vote for a while.  Still not sure Nancy has the votes in her caucus but the whip is most likely cajoling, threatening and bribing away to get the stragglers in line.  Let's get on with this in public where Republicans can make their case and let the American people decide.  Unless we learn something substantially different from what we already know I am guessing the numbers supporting impeachment will begin to drop as the so-called patriots whither under cross examination.  And let us not forget this fact, Bill Clinton was impeached from having pled to an actual crime but was not convicted in the Senate.  If I were a GOP Senator that is all I would say.  I am following the precedence set by Democrats telling us an actual crime is not a high enough bar for conviction and this doesn't even remotely rise to that level.  Trump is going to take this into 2020 and the Republican base will be fired up like never before.

And right on time there is a new poll by USA Today about the Zelenksy call.  Here are the results:  So Suffolk/USAT asked: In your view, is call a) impeachable offense; b) wrong, but not impeachable; or c) nothing wrong? Results: Impeachable 38%; wrong, not impeachable 21%; nothing wrong 31%.  So a full 52% think it is not an impeachable offense and only 38% do, which is amazing given that all they know is what has been selectively leaked by Schiff and the relentlessly negative media coverage.  Imagine if they saw the actual transcripts of the testimony and the media were even slightly less biased.  It would be even worse for Democrats.  So far the American people are far more reasonable than Democrats and the looney left.
