Impeaching Trump via a “secret ballot†may be the Democrats’ next plan

Most of us have been operating on one assumption since the entire impeachment hearing circus rolled into town. Sooner or later the Democrats in the House are going to impeach Donald Trump. (They’ve been itching to do it since the inauguration.) And following that, Cocaine Mitch and the Senate Republican Majority will schedule a trial and refuse to remove Trump from office. In fact, it’s not even clear that they’ll be able to convince all the Democrats to vote for removal.
But what if there was a way around the potential backlash Senators from swing states (and some Republicans) would face if they voted in favor of removal? That’s the subject of a think piece at Politico today from Juleanna Glover, a Republican strategist who has worked for Bush 43, Dick Cheney and John McCain, among others. And how does she propose that the Senators manage this seemingly impossible feat? By setting up the rules of impeachment in the upper chamber so that the vote would take place via a secret ballot.
