“...How many Senate votes required to Impeach, simple majority or 2/3?...”

It’s not going to happen.

NONE of those folks are willing to be the group that impeaches “the First African-American President”.

Pipe dream.

The only one that might even remotely bring it up would be Senator Cruz; the guy has balls of brass.

I’d love to see it as much as you would, but it’s not going to happen.

And for the record - let’s wait until we HAVE the Senate before celebrating.

“...will give Ted Cruz a national platform to attack the fascist Obuma administration and assorted turncoats in the GOP....”

Sarge, THAT would be wonderful to see. I’ll tip a cold one your way for that imagery, brother.

Team Senator Cruz up with Trey Gowdy over in the House and turn them both loose.

Then step back, pass the popcorn, and watch the lib heads explode.

Cautious optimism. Let’s win it first...

Then Obama brought us ebola to America

The communists Democrats have already blamed the Republicans for their cuts that has allowed this Ebola that will kill millions. None of this is true but the vast majority of ignorant Americans will believe it. It will be all over ads and the MSM will kill us.

I’m not holding my breath. The Republicans are just too good at snatching Defeat from the jaws of Victory.

“I didn’t think Republicans could win on just not being Democrats.”

Well stated!

Technicality here, but the Senate doesn’t impeach. The House impeaches (think of it like an indictment in the usual court system) and the Senate holds a trial.

For all you folks talking impeachment:

The House impeaches, the Senate convicts.

Read your Constitution.

“Then Obama brought us ebola to America.”

Yeah, I agree, that’s not helping them. I too hope they get slaughtered. Not that I even think it will make that big of a difference, but they just deserve it.

The race is ALL about the “margin of fraud”.

Fraud will be out of control in the no id needed zones.

also the “holdback” counties will create the fake votes.

This is a thread to pile on the support.

WE can win if we go PERSON TO PERSON, FRIEND TO FRIEND and show that Obamacrats are the minority in the world.

“Sarge, THAT would be wonderful to see.”

The problem we have as patriots/conservatives is the bloody hand-wringing wimps who believe the country is lost. God knows how many of these losers infest these threads. I’m more hostile toward and despise them more than I do liberals because they’re supposed to be on our side.

Good post, NFHale. Best wishes to you and your family.

This will not just be a defeat for Reid, though that will be cause for celebration, but 21 standing committees, 4 special committees, and 4 joint committees will be chaired by Republicans, many as solidly conservative as you could want. These Senators will control much of the tempo, the debate, and the details of legislation. It will be significant

Will it really matter when:

(1) The POTUS will push enevelope of EO's not seen in history and

(2) A feckless Boehner and McConnell and who won't do a damn thing about it.

The DSCC just pulled out of buying anymore Grimes ads. She’s viewed as a lost cause.

Same to you Sarge. And a prayer for our Country and our People as well, brother...

November is one battle in a larger war.
