While several Republican senators are in agreement that former President Trump's legal team didn't hit their opening arguments out of the park on the first day of his second impeachment trial on Tuesday, those same Republicans don't appear to be convinced enough to have changed their minds. Forty-four Republicans still voted that the trial was unconstitutional, suggesting that the Democrats will not have the votes to convict Trump, now a private citizen.
Even Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND), who called this "the stupidest week in the Senate," admitted the Democratic impeachment managers gave the superior presentation. But that won't change his vote because Trump's team, he says, is on the side of the Constitution.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was so sure of that outcome that he says he personally told Trump that this trial is still going nowhere.
"I reinforced to the president, the case is over," Graham said he told Trump, per the Hill pool. "It’s just a matter of getting the final verdict now."
Sen. Graham added that he believes Trump's lawyers, Bruce Castor and David Schoen, can and will do better as the trial proceeds.
He's not the only one hoping they see a real improvement. As you can see, several Senate Republicans were unimpressed with the defense's meandering arguments.

At the end of the day, the Democrats' argument, no matter how eloquent, is "not going to succeed," Sen. Ted Cruz concurred on Fox News.
You people are really retarded
That would make me nervous.
All part of the effort to keep Trump from bringing-up the election fraud. Apparently it is working.
If you mean the senate? You owe us retarded people everywhere a devote, sincere apology. Retards are so far ahead of senators, it’s a crying freaking shame.
The repubs will stab Trump in the back like they always do.
Hey Grey-ham, go f*ck yourself
I want CHARGES and ARRESTS for those shredding ballots before the 22 month requirement, thereby making the ability to PROVE the vote impossible
I also want CHARGES and ARRESTS for those taking money from CHINA to use their voting machines
These dems have done nothing more than to waste time and money as well as unveil what a bunch of feckless reprobates they are.
NEVER TRUST A GRAHAM CRACKER!!!
Yeah... that's about right.
But at least any time they're wasting on this farce isn't being spent spending our great grandchildren's future or taking away more rights.
56 US Senators voted that this kangaroo court is Constitutional.
spit
They’ll convict him. They’re thug crooks. They wouldn’t waste their time not knowing the outcome. It’s a done deal.
Kangaroo court. If Democrats can unilaterally choose the “judge” from one of their own, and can initiate a bill of attainder against a private citizen charging the designated defendant for the “crime” of exercising enumerated rights, they can decide by simple majority vote to change the rules to a simple majority sufficient for conviction.
Fascists.
So by holding the trial now they are blowing their shot to keep Trump from running again in 2024. He will return stronger than ever.
Feckless reprobates, excellent.
The Republicans who support the Democrats MUST BE HELD TO ACCOUNT!!!!
And he will be “dragging mines.”

With Demonicrat majorities, every week is TREASON WEEK in the U.S. Senate and in the U.S. House.
