Here's her list of demands for testifying. She'll testify, but no senators can ask her questions, but she'll only take questions from senators." Ask yourself why that is? Expand To give Trump more time to say or tweet something stupid. That's usually the primary goal of the opposition party over the years through all these Senate hearings and investigations filled with fake outrage by the opposing party. Try to find a way to make the president (or the next likely candidate in Hillary's case) less popular. 1

Expand Which in their mind is why Trump saying something stupid will help their chances with election season coming up. Riling up women voters is the goal here and there's nobody like Trump to get a rise out of people and get them to the polls. I think Senate Democrats know the seat will probably filled before January, but they have their eye on the next Supreme Court seat if something happens to Ginsburg. Controlling the Senate ensures they'll have another Merrick Garland type situation come the 2020 election if something happens to one of the four left leaning Supreme Court justices.

Expand One of the remarkable things about our mainly two-party system is that each side thinks it wears the "white hat". It has been a saving grace as one party takes power and then cedes it to the other, but it is sadly turning into the beginning of our demise. The 2016 post-election temper tantrum has just about morphed us into a country where we don't have a peaceful transition of power. The midterms will be the next push toward the cliff edge, and 2020 will take us to the bottom if Trump wins re-election. 1
