Wir erwartet hat sich das Impeachment erledigt, spannend an der Sache fand ich allerdings das Verhalten Romneys. Trumps Umfrageergebnisse sind indessen nach dem Fehlschlag des Impeachment nach oben gegangen...

Zitat:Trump's impeachment trial is over but the politics are nothttps://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/06/polit...index.html
Washington (CNN)A hundred senators have cast judgment on President Donald Trump, but the saga of his impeachment will only be put to rest when the ultimate jury -- 150 million American voters -- delivers a final verdict in November.
Trump claimed complete absolution and took veiled shots at his political opponents while speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington Thursday morning, saying Americans "have been put through a terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people." He's scheduled to make additional comments about his acquittal of high crimes and misdemeanors by the Senate at the White House later in the day. Given the scandal and controversy constantly whirling around the President, the details of his pressure campaign on Ukraine -- never really refuted by his impeachment trial defense team -- may be long forgotten by November.

Trump emerges from impeachment politically strengthened -- in the short term. He has proven once and for all his extraordinary hold on his own party. Only Utah Sen. Mitt Romney -- who has an independent power base and may be looking to his own place in history -- defected and voted to convict the President of impeachable crimes. Ten months from the election, Trump has unified his party around him in Washington and in the heartland at a time when questions are mounting about the Democrats' willingness to unite after what could become a bruising primary race.
Trump is enjoying the best polling of his presidency -- he hit 49% in a Gallup presidential approval poll this week. His State of the Union address on Tuesday night was a ringing statement of intent that he will use every device of his office to ensure he wins a second term.
