mcconnel and the gopE are doing to Trump exactly what they did to the Tea Party.
Surely Dersh and Sekulow will advise McConnel?
We are tired of people like Romney, Collins, etc, virtue signaling how things need to be done cordially and in accordance with Queensbury rules when Democrats ala Tong Po are dipping their gloves in broken glass per the movie “Kickboxer” with Van Damme.
Appeal to the Supreme Court, or just rule that the 4 presidential candidates are disqualified from voting.
Just because they have more members does not make them the majority. They would prefer to be the minority.
If they want to play witnesses, let's go to the mat.
Do you for one minute thing that the same RINOs that vote for witnesses are going to vote to hear from Joe or Hunter Biden?
Hell no. They'll vote to hear from Bolton, and block any attempts to hear from exculpatory witnesses.
The only thing protecting Trump now is- 95% Republican Party rank-and-file support, 35% Democrat rank-and-file support, 30-35% African-American support, and 45-50% Hispanic support.
Repubs are such limp dic*s.
” so they too will deny Senate Democrats calling witnesses “
Exactly right.
Doing anything less in this case is nothing but surrender to the mob.
Not complicated. They don't have the votes.
Because Mitt Romney.
Because there are the usual suspects in the Republican Senate, who are more concerned about themselves then their country. They might as well be Democrats.
Because they don't want to.
More than half of them would vote to convict if it was a secret vote and they wouldn't have to pay a price at election day
There’s another perspective to impeachment you might want to think about. President Trump, previous to the impeachment proceedings beginning, taunted Pelosi and the D’s to impeach him. It’s possible that part of Trump’s reelection strategy was to get impeached, knowing, because of his natural political instincts and his Reality TV Star experience, that impeachment would hurt the D’s and help him.
And the fact is, Impeachment is helping President Trump’s poll numbers and popularity. Also, while the D’s and the progressive left in general are focused on the bright shiney object called impeachment, they’re not able to effectively answer President Trumps successes in Foreign Policy, Mexico is paying for the wall because Mexico is now the wall; Trump and Netenyahu announced a peace plan today; The President signed the USCANMEX trade agreement that replaced NAFTA. Also, any party criticizing any President for killing three of the worlds top terrorists in rapid succession, are not doing themselves any favors. And I think the D’s are so off their game because they’re focused 100% on impeachment only. Just where President Trump wants their attention focused. In fact, President Trump is using the age old strategy of feeding his political enemies the rope with which he will hang them.
Think about it; President Trump and a few very loyal and trusted advisers are waging a political war, they’re fighting off a constan ongoing coup attempt being waged by very powerful people, organizations and thousands of people in the federal bureaucracy; somehow President Trump and his people are always a few steps ahead of them. Why? Because President Trump’s strategy has been to manipulate his enemies into positions that are not good for them, and by driving wedges between the D constituencies (the radical progressive socialists vs the moderate D’s). President Trump uses deception to manipulate the D’s and they fall for it everytime.
“McConnell says he doesn’t have the votes to block witnesses”
that’s nothing but fake news that’s been echoed repeatedly by the fake stream media, but all based on a single anonymously sourced NYT fake news “article” ...
multiple GOP Senators stated tonight on TV that they believe the impeachment trial will be over on or before this Saturday ...
Because of 4 traitorous RINOs.
Because they think this approach makes the optics better for them and they can continue to pound away at the “transparency” angle theyve been promoting. They cant very well spend weeks mocking the process the House used then imitate them out of spite. Its all going to end up the same way.
