Trump Is Just Six Senate Votes Away From Impeachment
newsweek ^ | Aug 17, 2017 | Elaine C. Kamarck

At some point in 2019 (if not sooner) a Republican Senator may walk into the Oval Office and say to President Trump: “Mr. President, we don’t have the votes,” at which point the Trump presidency will end in a resignation or a conviction in the Senate.

This scenario actually occurred forty-three years ago this summer when Republican Senator Barry Goldwater walked into the Oval Office and told Republican President Richard Nixon that they didn’t have the votes in the Senate to save his presidency.

The problem as I see it, is that in 2020 the Republican party would get about ten votes nationally.

The problem that presents is that the Democrats would regain control of everything.

While that would be a catastrophe, what’s the difference?

The Republicans in Congress won’t stand up to them anyway.

The Republican party leaders have no idea how close they are to the end of the party.

They either wake up and support Trump, or I swear to God I’ll simply stay home in 2020. It’s Trump or I’m done.

It would have to be done without a real crime because there’s no crime.

This is a coup straight up. It has to stop, the sedition, the outright attempt to remove a sitting President, it has to stop.

Pretty sure sedition is a crime for journalism as well, this needs to stop.

"Trump Is Just Six Senate Votes Away From Impeachment..."

Or, put another way,

"The Senate is just six votes away from burning itself to the ground..."

Just try it, and see if I'm right.

How would it happen? How would the right go offensive with actual gunpowder?

Not defensive, like the Bundy ranch, but offense.

I.e. he’s impeached without cause. Now what?

I think it is reasonable to say the pubs do not care either, chance of a lifetime squandered by liars misrepresenting their intentions to stay in power

I was just in NV; Heller’s done. And that’s from Republicans. I heard his radio ads playing already. An incumbent, running ads 15+ months before the election? Bye bye.

If he can be primaried, maybe the seat can be saved.

If they impeach Trump, it’s going to be bad for the country, but good for corrupt politicians, bureaucrats, and big corporate. Can only hope that the mainstream isn’t buying it. You can bet the house that democrats are polling this right now to see if the propaganda is working.
