Hillary Clinton's nearly 66 million votes in the 2016 election weren't enough to defeat Donald Trump. But just over 0.0001% of that could end Trump's presidency. That's the reality of what Trump faces if he is formally impeached by the House of Representatives later this week, as is expected, prompting a removal trial in the Senate.
In such a trial, the Constitution simply requires two-thirds of the Senate, in this case 67 senators, to vote to convict and remove -- then it's goodbye Trump.
Trump's fate lies in the hands of 20 GOP senators -- the number needed to join the 45 Democratic senators and two independent senators, who normally side with Democrats, to vote to convict him and end his presidency, assuming they all vote to remove Trump.
Yes, it's a huge long shot that 20 Republican senators will vote to send Trump packing, especially given Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's statement last week saying there's "no chance" that Trump will be removed. But as a former trial lawyer, I can tell you that jurors don't always do as expected. And there's always the possibility that more incriminating evidence is revealed about Trump between now and the start of the trial. Even the most secure of US presidents would be unnerved at the prospect that their political demise is only 67 votes away. ]

George Soros and his backers (nations and groups hostile to The United States) must be astonished at how cheap they can buy the whores at CNN.
Dear CNN:
President Trump sleeps well at night.
Ask Zucker how he sleeps.

Throw out the 10M illegal alien votes and count again
Agreed.
Every gift has a price. Good you developed a method to differentiate between external/internal vibrations.
LSD. They are on a bad trip.
I hear you.
I look at that list of Senate Republicans and it is far less than inspiring.
“just”
They kept it together for Kavenaugh. Frankly that was much harder.
Thanks a little elbow grease.
Impeachable crimes?
There isn’t evidence of any crimes, or even offenses. They have to change what he said, then impute the rest of it despite specific evidence to the contrary.
Trump gets audited every year. His tax returns aren’t going to show anything more than interpretation disputes.
The reason they want his tax filings is because they are complex, and they can represent them anyway they feel like with no danger of rebuke - because the vast majority of the population will have no way of validating the claims.
exactly. the entire impeachment turns out to be a complete farce
Exactly so.
CNN has been lying to us about PT for the last three or four years, but I'm sure we can believe them now.
POTUS is not a freak out kind of guy. He’s a gird his loins kind of guy.
Appreciate and understand your reply, however— did not say anything in my comment on this thread about his taxes. I did comment on the potential for the idiot 60’s libs and their ancien regime of Leftist pursuing of impeachment in the Senate-— and the completely empty “Articles” the idiot lefties in the House are to vote on.
The comment centered on these individuals being personally pursued by those they will never see coming— nonviolent of course— but having a fisted glove inside the suede “protests” which will be covered by the press because they will not be able to avoid it. Mass volume multi location verbal and personal protests. Not even youtub can censor them. But they are currently doing this (based, btw, on the “lack of monetization” of the posters. So— we monetize them enough, and make them viral. We only need 17 gone in the House. Let’s go get them- and make sure they aren’t “Ryans”.
