Regardless of the fact that his fellow Republicans overwhelmingly support the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, Trump has made noises of threatening to veto the bill when it reaches his desk. His rationale is less than compelling.

If House Democrats can hold up, and find even a few more compelling witnesses to put in front of the American people to move public opinion further in their direction (and therefore pressure Republicans to move off their absolutist, "defend-Trump-at-all-costs" position and consider joining the rational process), the better off we all could be.

It's impossible to know now. But Trump may just tweet himself into a corner where even a Republican Senate has no choice but to remove him from office.

The surfacing of Stephen Miller's emails now offers Trump a chance to put up or shut up.

Would it be really beyond the imagination that Haley is perhaps leaving a little bug in Trump's ear that he would be better served with her at his side as his 2020 running mate?
