Paging Captain Obvious: Politico has a Senate trial outcome analysis and it’s ‘SHOCKING!’

With it becoming possible that Nancy Pelosi could send the articles of impeachment over to the Senate, pretty much everybody knows what would happen then. However, Politico presented this “analysis” in case anybody hasn’t yet gotten the memo from Captain Obvious:

The Senate needs 67 votes to remove Trump from office. Our analysis shows that right now it doesn't have enough. https://t.co/ABO6GQI06Y pic.twitter.com/BR8m8y0yIC

All the research for that analysis must have taken several… seconds.

So it's an article stating what everyone on the planet already knows.

There’s “what everybody knows” and what Democrats and the mainstream media are hoping for, and the two don’t always go hand-in-hand.
