Just wondering - I've seen all of the headlines filled with wishful thinking -

Mitt Romney pledges to have ‘open mind’ during Trump impeachment trial

Collins and Romney hold the keys in the impeachment trial. Here’s what they signaled on Day One.

Keith Watts: Time for Utah’s senators to make us proud

Republican senators consider turning on Trump as impeachment trial set to start

Handful of key Senate Republicans will determine whether to call witnesses at President Trump's trial

When will a few 'principled' RATS stand up and call the removal attempt the partisan scam that everyone knows that it is? When will one or two question the methods being used? Has any RAT been questioned about their 'open mind'? Will there ever be a RAT that leaves the reservation and sides with the President? Those headlines don't seem to be out there...

Modern ‘Rats do not possess principles and are required to toe the party line or else. LOL

Really! Surely they can see this is a no win situation and why turn off voters for it.

They won’t. They’re owned by their donors, special interests, pelosi, schumer, and soros.

Unless they are up for election this year I would say none. Two years from now Trump will be a lame duck and they will figure their vote won’t hurt them.

Manchin will probably toe the party line and vote with the rest of the Rats. He wants to run for Prez in 2024. He needs to polish up his left wing bona fides.

Likely most DIM/LIB senators have “crossed over”. However, I feel it doesn’t have anything to do with voting.

If any of them do, Schumer will make sure they get no DNC money or other party level contribution. The retaliation against an aisle crosser will not be tolerated.

“Mitt Romney pledges to have ‘open mind’ during Trump impeachment trial”

His brains have fallen out of his open mind long ago.

The Rats know that they're gonna lose here as a result Rat party Headquarters just might give one or two of the Senators "permission" to vote not guilty for reasons of electability.

Jones and Manchin are two that come to mind.

Of course Mittens will vote guilty despite the wishes of his constituents...but then he probably doesn't care what happens in 2024.

NEVER. CRIMINAL STATE players only do what is good for themselves and//or their families. Who can touch them?

Example 1: 23 Trillion in debt.

Romney has never been stupid.

He’s just a run of the mill Fabian Socialist and once you study up on what they believe and who they are you can pretty much accurately predict that Mitt will do in any situation.
