'30 REPUBLICAN SENATORS WOULD VOTE TO IMPEACH TRUMP' IF VOTE WAS SECRET, GOP CONSULTANT CLAIMS
Newsweek ^ | Sept 25 2019 | Jason Lemon

Posted on 09/25/2019 2:03:23 PM PDT by rintintin

Prominent GOP consultant Mike Murphy claimed on Wednesday that he was told by a Republican senator that the majority of Republican senators "would vote to impeach" President Donald Trump if they could do so anonymously.

"These Senate Republicans, should the Democrats vote impeachment, which is far more likely than not, are going to be pinned down to a yes/no answer," Murphy, who previously advised Republican politicians including Mitt Romney, John McCain and Jeb Bush, said in an interview with MSNBC.

"The politics of it will get worse and worse for Trump," the Republican political consultant, who has long been critical of Trump, said.

Just like the liars who claimed that 20 GOP electors would defect from Trump, this is a lie too.

The “anonymous” Senator here is puke magic underpants.

He might get MooCowSki too, but I can’t see anyone else defecting.

I don’t think so. I think that the number 30 is low. I have no doubt that if push came to shove that there would be enough votes to convict him. I know how the Republicans operate. Standing up to the Democrats is not their forte. Wanting to please the Democrats, coupled with their hatred of President Trump.....

“Who’s Mike Murphy?”

He’s a veteran GOP Establishment campaign advisor and favorite of the likes of Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney. A Trump hater.

Rick Wilson is another one.

-

That’s what I figured.

He doesn’t even realize his comment makes out the Senators he’s talking about to be unethical and two-faced. That they keep their true convictions secret from their constituents.

We don’t have an impeachment and we won’t likely get one either. Impeachment requires a vote in the full house. They had one and they lost. What they have now is an impeachment investigation. Which is nothing more than renaming other investigations. So its impeachment in name only. They will label everything the congress does as impeachment investigation. But they will never vote in the full house.

Why do stupid people think they’re intelligent? ................................... Because a few who have smarts tell them they are, to get their vote. Remember the I’m with Hillary pins? If you wore one, your IQ was guaranteed to go up 50 points. Most who wore them knew they were smart by wearing them. The pin told the other pin wearers you were one of the high intellectuals they could communicate with. Its amazing were all their votes come from, areas where the left side of the bell curve dwells.

And by the way, Trump should come up with a name for Traitor Romney, He is the worst of RINOs. He’s not a republican and he will never vote for any republican cause in a close vote. Romney is the new McCain.

“Sorry but her calling the POTUS “Saudi Arabia’s bitch” didn’t make her look sane, it makes her look like an idiot on that too.”

MAJ Gabbard ARNG, should be court-martialed for that remark under Article 88 UCMJ, “contempt toward elected officials by officers”. Article 88 specifically means the commander in chief.

I heart you. Right on. Parties suck. Look to the constitution and try and find the few who give a hoot about it. Party be damned.

Well, it’s ain’t ‘gonna be secret.

It’s similar to Senator Specter weaseling out of voting Guilty / Not Guilty for Impeachment by voting “Not Proven”. What a coward. And then was so hungry for power and attention, switched parties.

What makes you believe that most Republican senators don’t privately agree with Romney, and hate Trump?

It’s not as if Romney is an outsider from the GOP. He was their presidential nominee for goodness sake! And that was after they nominated McCain!!! Yet you somehow think the GOP is a Conservative party when they turn to Romney McCain and Bush family for leadership?

Don’t be a sheeple!

The Republican party is very corrupt. We have 2 corrupt un American parties. They both serve special interest and use the American taxpayers to do it.
