No, that’s wrong. It takes a 2/3 majority to convict. They need 66 votes to convict. They’d be 22 votes short. To convict, the Rats would have to convince 17 republicans to swap sides. I don’t think that will happen.
Psst—(67)
A super majority in the Senate is 67 votes.
To acquit, 34 votes are needed. That leaves 66 votes, and that is NOT a super majority.
51 Republicans
47 Dems
02 Independents = 100 senators
47 + 2 = 49
67 - 49 = 18
18 GOP senators have to defect and all 47 Dems, plus 2 Independents, have to join forces for a super majority, to convict President DJT.
There - is - no - way - 18 - GOP - senators - are - going - to - vote - for - guilt - / - conviction - !
The wild card is that a few Dems may also not vote for guilt, and possibly an Independent too!
“To convict, the Rats would have to convince 17 republicans to swap sides. I don’t think that will happen.”
That’s good to know. What if they don’t have enough to convict or enough to acquit?
I see you corrected your post, sorry I didn’t continue and see that.
