You are just now realizing that?
No problem... the Repubs own the agenda in the Senate.. bring on the witnesses who will benefit Trump’s cause.
McConnell may have his faults, but he’s not going to screw Trump.
The 100,000,000 that don’t vote aren’t stupid. It just that the Republicans as constituted are not a good alternative to the Democrats so they sit it out. The Globalist Cheap Labor Express Party ( i.e. the GOP ) is not appealing to the working class of this country. That’s the problem.
A trial in the Senate is not a trial of President Trump. No, it is WE who will be on trial.
I understand where you are coming from but I don’t see how you include Paul on that list. He’s been supporting the President fervently since POTUS has been declining to take the war bait in North Korea and Iran.
Romney, yes I see it as his people are implicated in the Ukraine corruption.
Collins may vote for an impeachment trial or maybe not. It depends on how well she would defend the Articles of Impeachment. She is straight enough to summarize whether such merits exist or not.
Murkowski may abstain as she did on Kavanaugh. She is a weak member.
Isackson I don’t know about.
Lee in Utah might be added as he recently appears to be compromised.
We can expect the cable and legacy broadcast media to block all the President’s defenses even as they are played out on CSPAN or in parts of social media that are not suppressed. They will follow with suspicious polls saying the public wants an impeachment trial.
“I doubt they would have the guts to even vote against him in secret, but it would be useful to know that if not.”
If the vote was secret, many of those worms would vote against Trump.
Are you new? Nothing that negatively impatcts the Dems will even make it to the airwaves

Which is exactly why we need Senate hearing now. The media can’t ignore that. Start with Biden Jr. Show President Trump had good reason to ask Ukraine for help and it becomes impossible to impeach him over this.
Really, this isn’t complicated. I can only believe at this point the GOP Senate wants Trump impeached by the House.
Let me tell you folks something....POTUS, Donald J. Trump will never be fully impeached, even if the House of Representatives impeaches him by vote. In fact: the Democrat Party is destroying itself politically with every passing day. They have not one viable 2020 POTUS, Candidate. If the American voters are smart, they stopp watching all the Democrat POTUS debate...they are worthless and useless combined!!! Shucks they are dragging out Hillary Clinton from her political grave to try for the POTUS ring once more!!! Pelosi is riding the wrong horse and she is going down. Trump will be re-elected by a landslide victory never seen before!!! Joe Biden...WHO DAT? And “EVERY” Moderate & Blue Dog Democrat that casts their vote to impeach DJT will be easily defeated in November, 2020!!!
The Democrats have no real money...Trump is sucking all of the cash up in lightening fashion....$20-25,000,000 bucks this last weekend from small donors!!! Only God knows how much cash Trump has on hand!!!
And...AG, Barr & company is about to really sink in, the Democrat low life, scum, vermin and traitor/turncoats over the month of October, STAY TUNED...FOLKS!!!
I heard you the first time...LOL
If you get a chance to listen to the Mark Levin interview, most of the facts incriminating Biden, including his sons acting as a Chinese and Ukrainian agent, purchasing companies with duel use technology for China, and purchasing a company that was indicted for stealing U.S.Nuclear Secrets, has been out there in the public domain for years.
You are correct, it never hit the news, I can’t wait to read Stephen Schweitzer’s book on this.
Your post is spot on. Do it!
>Not sure what you mean. The only vote in the House that matters to the Senate is if they vote to impeach. That would come after any impeachment inquiry.
The House doesn’t have “inquiries” or “legal investigations”. The House impeaches, and the Senate does the investigations and decides whether to remove or not.
Nobody gives a fig what any of those idiots think. Do the trial, hold the vote. There won't be two thirds to convict.
Is there any thing from the Senate from letting a coup take place.

Interesting. So why then did House Dems rain subpoenas on the Trump admin last week?
You seem to be ignoring the political reality here. It’s the Dems doing all the investigation. The GOP, to quote another FReeper, is in a coma right now.
Channeling your inner Arlen Specter?
It means he's the judge. The Senate is the jury.
Absolute truth, c_va.
How dare we elect someone THEY don’t want.
