“he denied this story tonight”

Sure. He’ll deny in public until he has enough republican senators on board to convict.

No evidence has been presented in the Senate.

A vote for conviction before the presentation of evidence disqualifies a juror. This goes back centuries.

McConnell and all these other Republicans will one day stand for reelection. If they shit on Trump, they’ll lose and they know it.

I think this is it for Mitch, he won’t run again.

In fact, I think the only thing that gives me hope is that most of the old farts will get fed up and retire just as in 2018.

I believe absolutely NOTHING being reported right now...

Not a word of any of it... particularly hearsay reports about any republicans...

So many lies, distortions and bullspit being reported right now...

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t trust the GOPe... but floating balloons to see who reacts is not news

GOP - RIP

After they kneecapped themselves, they are taking aim at their chest.

The Republican Party will basically come to an end if the Republicans in the Senate join with the Democrats against Trump. McConnell and the other idiots in the GOP need to look long and hard at whether they want to go the way of the Whigs in 2021.

I bet this is pure falsehood. After all the press lies, outright and often, these days.

However, if it IS true, then the Republicans would suffer the same fate as Fox News.

Their ratings would drop by half.

Better think this one over carefully Mitch.

He’s 78 years old. He was just elected for 6 more years. He’s no longer majority leader. IMHO, He’s a political hack and he knows what’s happening in DC. He just wants to keep his money and not get harassed by Democrats in his final years, so he’s bending the knee. He doesn’t give a shyte what happens to the GOP in the future.

He had transgressed The Unwritten Law.

This demonstrates how insanely out of touch this old closed homo grifter is. McConnell actually believes this is the road back to power for the GOPe. The arrogance and disconnect from regular America is breathtaking.

McConnell's vote would open the door to the possibility that Trump could be convicted and prohibited from running for president again.

This futile, vindictive endeavor will only alienate Trump voters further from Republicans. Mitch HAS to know this! If it is all to prevent Trump from running again in 2024, they should know that he will still be a major influence on the elections of 2022 and beyond. There's nothing they can do about that. Behind the scenes Trump will remain a force. Seventy-five million plus voters will not soon forget this battle and the huge disappointment so many Republicans have been.

And then I will never vote for another Republican ever again.

Better think this one over carefully Mitch.

>><<

At 87, odds are against my voting in another
presidential election. Should I have the opportunity,
I can’t see voting Republican because they do not
stand behind one another.

Had they done so this election, voter fraud most
certainly would have been proved and the
greatest president in my lifetime would have
been reelected. It they don’t care, there is
no reason for me to.
