I think that Collins was committed to having her questions answered in the next session. Only Pierre has insisted on new witnesses. After the 16 hours of Q&A, then they will take a vote (I hope). Listening to Manchin, I think that is a plan he wants to send back home..
With every passing day Trump’s popularity grows. Even some FReepers who are pathological malcontents whining for three years that Trump would be thrown out of office by Democrats and RINOs are starting to change their tune.
These dopes in Washington have completely misread the political landscape. Trump supporters are outraged that foreign countries like Ukraine get even one penny from U.S. taxpayers ... and these @ssholes in Congress and the media are trying to throw Trump out of office for trying to WITHHOLD money from Ukraine?
This must be some kind of joke. Donald Trump and Vince McMahon couldn’t have scripted a WWE spectacle any better than this.
Loser. Wanto be a winner all by yourself, take up singles tennis. Otherwise work with the team.
I’m sure there will be enough democrat votes to oppose them. Wise democrats in the Senate know they do not want more witnesses because nothing has gone right for them yet.
How much nastier this would be with no-name still around. Glad he is gone.
Romney and his rebels,
Sleep with dogs, wake with fleas
Romney is a bottom feeder. Mitch needs to expel him from the party caucus, this is too important to not punish him severely.
Further and more importantly, it was the House’s responsibility to build its case by compiling evidence and presenting it to the Senate for a trial; it is not the Senate’s responsibility to gather evidence.

The author doesn’t get it. In DC there are NO RULES. Its all made up as they go along.
John McCain voted against ObamaDoesntCare repeal and look what happened to him. Dead 13 months later.
If more witnesses are called, Republicans must take the offensive big-time and make the Democrats pay. We have already seen some signs of this. They need more than angry tweets from the President.
For the life of me I cannot understand what the "Three Sisters" (Collins; Murkowski; Romney) expect to gain with this. GOP voters will hate them; Democrat/Leftist voters still won't trust them; and voters throughout America will continue to suffer under this debacle especially that the outcome is set in stone.
The Sisters have sat through the presentations, they've been taught about the terrible impacts to the Constitution of all of this; and they have been given a crystal clear determination that no crime has been committed -- even if the President did everything the Democrat/Left has alleged he has done (and for which there is not a shred of evidence).
I just don't get it. I just don't understand the thinking of the Three Sisters.
According to another report (from Politico? I forgot where), two other senators may go along with these known three;
1) outgoing TN senator Lamar Alexander, rumored to be the more moderate Republicans ===> One last time to screw the base and Americans;
and 2) CO senator Cory Gardner, by Subotai’s account, no longer pretends to be a Republican.
Anything to draw it out closer to the election. Every week or so some lying POS will release “new facts”, none of which will be and they will not be proveable.
Anything to get set up to steal the next election, or even better from their point of view to push some half-wit into violence. Of course it will be the Orange Man’s fault.
I’ve been trolling all 3 on Twitter....giving credence to an unconstitutional, rabid, partisan coup attempt is worse than an outrage.
Democrats have always been better at being Democrats than Republicans are at being Republicans.
“Maverick”
My take on this? Follow the $$$$$$$$$. It stinks of dirty $$$$$$.
They know they would be committing what amounts to treason toward their constituents and party and they don’t care. Out with them first chance.
This is about shutting down the Senate to stop them from filling the judicatory with conservative judges...it’s their plan! Getting a brokered convention is icing on the cake...
