On Politics POLITICS 2020   Thursday, January 30 OnPolitics: Put your politics aside, we have dogs The impeachment trial is wrapping up the questions phase as Iowans prepare to caucus. I'm not going to lie to you. The impeachment trial is still going and we could get several more days of televised history if Senators decide more witnesses are needed.  So it's important that we stick together during this time and click on every link in this finely crafted newsletter.  When you're not allowed to ask a question  Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., submitted a question during the Thursday session of the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts refused to read. Why? The question revived allegations from some Trump allies that the whistleblower "conspired" with a House committee staff member to reveal information that would lead to the president's impeachment. Paul did not offer evidence for the claim. Paul walked out of the chamber and trended on twitter for his efforts.  Are we ready for a female president? Though a majority of Americans say the USA is ready to elect a female president, that number has dropped over the past six months, a national USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll shows - a sobering finding for Democratic presidential hopefuls Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar as the nominating season officially kicks off Monday in Iowa. Seventy-one percent say they personally would be comfortable with a female president, but just 33% say their neighbors would be - a telling and perhaps more candid measure, and one that had dipped by 4 points since the poll in August. No, we seriously have dog pics We can't tell you where they land on the sanctions or trade wars or even if they think the impeachment trial needs new witnesses.  But, people of the OnPolitics newsletter, we can tell you these dogs are best boys and girls you'll see today.  Without further delay, and because I've managed to write enough words to justify this subhead, I present you: The dogs of the 2020 presidential election Now that we used dogs to get your attention, here are some items from the Iowa Caucus.  • Trump officials and backers to flood Iowa on Caucus Day • Six candidates,10 hours on the Iowa campaign trail • Could multiple candidates 'win' the Democratic caucuses?
