Assuming Pelosi doesn't have 19 or more Democrats unwilling to commit political seppuku for the coup, we're going to have an impeachment trial in the senate. Let's hear your predictions!
Mine: 45 yea 55 nay
Every Republican including Mitt Romney and Ben Sasse vote no plus Manchin and Jones. All the purple state Democrats on the ballot this year vote yea out of greater fear of the communist rank and file than deplorables out for revenge.
The public didn’t revolt when Congress sent the good jobs to Chyna.
And it won’t revolt, not even civil disobedience, if Trump is not removed, no matter how unfair the process.
And any revolution if Trump is removed will be met with swift and overwhelming force of violence by the government.
The revolution following the DoI in 1776 was hard fought against an enemy with a long supply chain. The enemy now is pretty much the whole government. There will not be a revolution.
they should just table it and then ask the House where the budget, MexCanAm treaty, rx legislation and half a dozen other items are?
The US military is a monster when sent against foreign targets. It is spectacularly weak and inadequate for direct operations against the American people. They would be in -way- over their heads.
Iraq is about 2/3 the size of Texas. Just saying...
Jones is a lunatic leftist. He knows he’s done next year. I doubt he would vote against the party line. He’s angling for a future Dem job somewhere.
Manchin still wants to be Governor of West Virginia. He is politically done in West Virginia if he votes for removal.
The only other Democrat that I think might vote against the party line is Kyrsten Sinema. She’s a lunatic leftist, but she also knows that she’s representing Arizona and has to walk a very fine line politically.
If Lindsey Graham had any balls he would acquit Trump right on the spot, no trial no nothing..just end the BS and move on
And deny the Dems a trip through Cocaine Mitchs little house of horrors? I think not :D
“If Republicans abandon President Trump I will never, ever vote again...period!”
If President Trump is tossed from office, I don’t think you will have to worry about voting again. At least in this iteration of the nation...
Just more proof that Senators shouldn’t be voted in by the people. In the past there is simply no way senator from WV or Al would be voting to impeach Trump. As it stands it’s almost a sure thing they do.
The senate, democrats and the state media will now begin talking secret ballots - mark my words. If they get secret ballots, I expect Trump to be found guilty
If not stopped in Senate it’s going to be stopped in the streets
If that happens, I predict the fuse will be lit. A short fuse.
I’m not concerned about the Senate.
My prediction,,, At lest two witnesses will hang themselves,,,, or maybe more,,,,,,,
Mitt will do the Arlen Specter Scottish law gimmick...”not proven”.
I would not be my life on that if I were you.
The likelihood of an overwhelming defeat in the Senate can’t be a surprise to Pelosi. She must have an agenda that accepts that as probable. Is it just to be able to use “impeached” President in the campaign or is there something she knows that we haven’t thought of?
I do believe she will retire after her term is up. Given the probability that the Senate will deep six the impeachment bid, I don’t think that an old woman would accept just being a Rep. again.
I agree that there will not be a Senate trial, for whatever technical reason. When does the House vote on this?
Mitt will not vote to acquit if he abstains well be lucky. The rats desperately Want a bipartisan vote to convict.
********************************
I doubt that it will even make its way to the Senate. But, if it does, there will be a bipartisan vote TO ACQUIT!
Kyrsten Sinema will vote no as well.
****************************
I agree. Shes turning out to be quite the politician. Shell be easily re-elected in 2024.
If only McSally had half the charm that Sinema has.
Schiff, Biden, Hunter, Obama, they will all refuse to testify
**********************************
Biden would challenge Mitch to a push-up contest...,and then cheat. ;-)
