Trump’s defense team expects cliffhanger in Senate witness vote
NY Post ^ | Jan. 30, 2020

President Trump’s impeachment defense team expects a Friday cliffhanger when senators vote on whether to call witnesses in Trump’s trial.

If Democrats find four Republicans to vote for witnesses, the trial could stretch until March. If they fail, Trump likely would be quickly acquitted.

Trump confidant Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) told the New York Post he doesn’t believe there will be clarity on the outcome until “Friday of this week.”

Meanwhile, nothing else can be done in the senate.
The senators running for president can’t be out campaigning.
Dems will continue to shoot themselves in the foot.
And Trumps support will grow.

Dems never had anything, will never get anything.
They’ve had to lie and conceal like hell just to get this point.

Possible 2020 election slogans are being considered before the vote.

In the end, no matter what happens to Trump, Romney needs to be primaried out of the Senate.

Play the “Game Over” tape and interview over and over until it penetrates the thick sculls of those 4 RINOs.

And if they want to drag this out, it could tie up the Senate for months. That will not be allowed to happen because even the Dems would be afraid of getting kicked out of their phoney baloney jobs.

That was always going to be the case.

The division is 53-47 and no one will be shocked if Romney and Collins vote for witnesses.

I’d like to see him primaried out of the country.

SICK of phonies, fake and traitors.

As for the witnesses, that’ll ruin the old communist and the indian.

The fact that DiFi is talking about voting to acquit tells me that their internal polls on this have completely, utterly tanked.

I was asking last week why everyone was talking about Republicans voting with the democrats but why was nobody talking about democrats voting with the republicans.

And now they are talking about it. I think trump may prevail via bipartisan support.

They sure are. I thought McConnell met with Murkowski yesterday and secured her vote? And that Toomey and Alexander both already tweeted that they have no interest in additional witnesses?

The only possible votes I see for witnesses would be Romney (Traitor-UT) and Collins.

Talk is cheap in Washington - until they vote.

But I’m sure there’s more than one D with 10 wet fingers in the air trying to feel the slightest breeze on which way to go.

I believe this Q&A is going a long way toward ensuring a “no witnesses” vote on Friday .

The thing of it is the dims face practically no consequences for anything they do so why not just make up Russians and dossiers and impeach the President for nothing...make up the news..fake news ...
They probably don’t care if they lose seats.....Pelosi ..Schumer ..Schiff are not going to lose their seats...

Interesting.

Why do you say that?

I had been strongly of the view that this need to end before it even started, but I find this argment for continuing the charade indefinitely to be persuasive /s/.

It’s certainly worked well to keep the number of leftist bills coming out of the House down to a minimum.

Agreed. But we’re stuck with the guy for at least four more years. It’s gonna be a miserable time.
