“- - -which is a pile of special interest crap anyway.”

Our whole system of government has devolved to special interest crap. Get term limits, eliminate lobbying and go back to the states electing the senate again.

Imagine, our federal government representing the people and recognizing states rights again.

Seems to me Flake is Flake, which means he’s the same as lying Schiff. NOT to be take seriously period.

There are not 20 from your list who would
Vote to convict for this Ukraine nonsense. Many of these are already on record against it. Repeating your own nonsense over and over isn’t going to make it true.

I would seriously consider that a few Democrats would cross over, especially if they live in RED States and are up for election. Just saying.

If the anti-Trump Republicans in the Senate were numerous enough to have Trump convicted in a trial in the Senate, that would mean Pence as President. 21 Republican-held seats are up in 2020--apart from those who plan to retire anyway (like Lamar!), anyone who voted to convict would most likely be defeated for re-election.

I don't know if under those circumstances Pence could win the election, but the Democrats would very likely gain control of the Senate.

Maybe that's what some of them want anyway--retire on their comfortable pensions or (if not up for re-election in 2020) enjoy being a powerless minority in the Senate. They've had practice with that and may find it more congenial than being in the majority.

Even with the constant barrage of lies from the mainstream media, it's hard to see the majority of the American people believing that Trump deserves to be removed from office.

Any Senate Republican who votes to remove Trump will be primaried and probably lose...so they’re not going to vote that way, regardless of how much they may hate Trump.

Trump is an outsider who threatens the norm. Politicians on the national level are heavily invested in keeping the status quo. They can only be trusted as much as reelection figures into their votes.

The ones up for re-election won’t, that’s for sure.
Would not bet on any of the others.

Exactly. There is no telling how many of them are up to their ears in corruption here and overseas that they don’t want the public to see.

I also think he’s right. They don’t even need anything approaching a valid reason. President Trump isn’t one of the ruling class, so does not belong in the White House, in their idiotic opinions.

These statements from lowlife such as Flake and Romney are a good thing. They force all the traitors in the Republican Party to deny that they’d vote to impeach Trump.

Well said. Plus, it would be a public vote.

But this Ukrainian nonsense is just an excuse to open an impeachment inquiry. Now they’ll hunt and hunt for something they might try to actually impeach him on. It’s the Russian fishing expedition all over again. This nonsense has Hillary Clinton’s fingerprints all over it, in my opinion.

Flake can’t count. I doubt there are any.

Everyone please calm down. This is from Newsweek. Yes, that Newsweek. A magazine so fraudulent that it would consider itself to be taking a step UP to be called Fake News.

This is straight Democrat Party propaganda meant to cause dissension.
