It’s a RINO Stampede in the U.S. Senate Now
DB Daily update ^ | January 27, 2020 | by David Blackmon

Posted on 01/27/2020 3:27:44 PM PST by Hojczyk

Equally predictable have been the reactions by the three most likely RINO Usual Suspects, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.

Romney, who has been actively looking for any pretense to side with his Democrat pals, jumped almost immediately, telling a CNN reporter early Monday morning this:

“I can’t begin to tell you how John Bolton’s testimony would ultimately play on a final decision but it’s relevant and therefore I’d like to hear it.”

Ok, yeah, sure, uh-huh. Romney, by the way, refused to say whether or not he would also support calling witnesses the Trump defense would like to see, like Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and Pencil Neck. Mitt gonna Mitt. Which is kind of like saying a dog is going to lick its own nether regions.

Next up was Susan Collins, the terminally annoying Senator from Maine. As is her habit, Collins issued a statement that had been carefully crafted by her staff talking points monkeys, which revealed her own weak-kneed posture and smeared her GOP colleagues by claiming “a number” of them were having second thoughts as well:

“The reports about John Bolton’s book strengthen the case for witnesses and have prompted a number of conversations among my colleagues,” Collins said in a statement.

Collins, who unlike Romney is up for re-election this year, apparently believes she finds strength by pretending to hide among “numbers.” She’s wrong.

Murkowski did what Murkowski pretty much always does, and vainly attempted to find a way to triangulate her way through it with this mushy non-answer:

“I stated before that I was curious as to what John Bolton might have to say … I’ve also said there is an appropriate time for us to evaluate whether we need additional information —that time is almost here,” Murkowski said in a statement.

These assholes are going to extend the impeachment by 2 or 3 months. Bolton is subpoenaed, there is a week or two of court fights. Then he testifies for two days, and cross examined for a day or two. Then there won’t just be Bolton, then you need the whistleblower CIAmello, and also Hunter Biden. God only knows who else. This crap drags on for a month or two and we will lose the Senate.

Mitch better jerk some chains HARD. Also Cornyn and his Senate Reelection campaign committee.

Well, we’ll see what happens. Boy I hate these cheap folding suits of the GOP.

It’s not all of them, but certainly enough.

We are so blessed to have avoided that awful person as President.

Despite everything, we are so blessed.

May the Lord God frighten the RINOs beyond belief in their dreams so they will for once, be honest.

May the Lord God frighten the DEMs with walking, talking nightmares until they leave politics.

Republicans in Utah and Alaska can surely do better than Murkowski and Mitt Rino.

Republicans in most states can do better that what they have. I am appalled at the ignorant, pompous A holes serving in the Senate who are telling us how to live. Most of them I would not leave alone with a minor member of my family.

They don’t care. All they wanted was another opportunity to slime the President.

An Utah Democrat could be better than Mitt Romney. If a Dem won, at least we knew he would hate President Trump. Utah should know better...

Call witness and the trail will last the rest of the year - they will have to call witnesses to verify the witnesses testimony
