“If the House votes to Impeach, the Senate will vote to Acquit.”


No, the Senate merely does nothing. This is exactly what happened when Clinton was impeached. The Rat who controlled the Senate then very publicly indicated throughout the entire process that they were not even going to be taking the matter up, and the whole thing died there. My concern is that it will impact Trump in a similar manner as it did Clinton, which is to say that it will render him a lot less effective. Now, on the other hand, there may not even be an impeachment. This would give Trump something to run on, as it is quite obvious to any thinking individual that there is not one thing that Trump did since he took the oath of office that would give rise to an impeachment, and also that the whole thing with the Russians was just a hoax at best. Many of those Dems who won in the house last night one by razor-thin margins, and they will be running for reelection starting sometime this morning. Voting for something like this will put them in very grave Danger, and I am not sure that even the Rat leadership wants to deal with the backlash.

What? That is not what happened. The Republicans controlled the Senate when Clinton was impeached. They held a trial. They voted. 50 voted to remove Clinton. They needed 67.
