CNN: Trump is just 67 votes away from being an ex-President and it's freaking him out
Communist "News" Network ^ | December 15, 2019 | Dean Obeidallah

Posted on 12/16/2019 12:21:31 PM PST by EdnaMode

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. ]

Exactly. If the republicans in the Senate dare to oust him and nullify our votes over these petty charges, there are 63 million voters who will never bother to vote again. Let alone for a republican.

Betting the vote will come on the 19th. I believe that is the anniversary of Bubba’s impeachment.

Removing a duly elected President for bogus charges would be the end of the Republican Party. They will never vote to remove him.

In the full context of the present, it would more than likely presage an almost immediate termination of our accustomed political processes. It would be America's "Rubicon crossing" moment. I will not even hazard a prediction of how the sorting out, that follows, ends.

The lichen brained Leftists are totally clueless as to the complicated, but very negative, factors that will be in play. factors that will be in play.

Removing a elected president for this garbage is an act of war on the citizens by the house and Senate and will be treated as such. Their incompetent propagandistsn in the press too.

Jurors don’t have to run for re-election.

Jurors don’t have to worry that the decision they render will be flipping a big “F.U.!” to 95% of their voters.

What a sensational reach Caca News Network is making. What they don’t even consider is that there are three Democrat Senators who may surprise them and vote “no.” But they are too blinded by their rabid hatred to notice.

LOL. Trump still has his day job being a billionaire real estate tycoon. There is no way he is going to be impeached. CNN is delusional as usual.

The Dems needed to cut Trump off from his base, as they were able to do with Nixon. They never came close here...it’s GAME OVER for them on impeachment.
