'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.

Congress has become a den of thieves. The code says that one lawmaker does not interfere with another’s graft and corruption, and no one gets prosecuted.

“The Republican senators you seem to be defending.”

I think you got me confused with someone else.

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.

It is no secret the GOP Never Trumpers and RINOs want Trump gone as bad as the commie Rats do. I would put the number closer to 60 than to 30.

Now THERE’S a track record one can be proud of. 3 for 3 losers, then goes on MSNBC. There’s no “hall of fame” for pieces of crap.

Well, that’s why it’s n0t a secret vote. The people in DC should be accountable to the people who sent them there.

Why? Those are the leaders of the Republican Party up until Trump. The GOP chose McCain and Romney as its presidential standard bearers — the faces of the party to the nation. The fix was in to follow that up with Jeb, till Trump screwed things up for the party. Mike Murphy isn’t some outsider, he’s one of the main voices of the party’s leaders, the people who ARE the party.

To say Romney McCain or Jeb aren’t real Republicans is like saying the CEO of Wells Fargo isn’t part of Wells Fargo. It’s conservative rank and file folks who are “Republicans in name only,” because the Republican party is not that conservative, it’s the party that chooses to be led by Romney, McCain and JEb.

Mike Murphy is telling the truth, from what I can see. If the GOP Senators really support Trump, where are the Senate hearings into the attempted coups? Where are the hearings into Joe Biden , Hunter, China and Ukraine? Lindsee flaps his gums, but holds no hearings. That’s called a passive aggressive response to Trump.

Mike Murphy has worked for all the top GOP politicians. To say he’s not part of the Republican Party is what’s ridiculous. He’s more a part of it than most members of the base, who are looked down and secretly ridiculed upon by the party’s top guns and probably most of the GOP senators who hire people like him.

Evidence? You mean like no Republicans voting for impeachment? Like all voting for funding the wall while all the Democrats voting against it?

Seems to me this is not a Republican problem, and clearly is a Democrap one.

And? The last decades have shown that “military” does not necessarily mean MAGA. Smart? She said that PDJT was Saudi’s b*tch.

“If it was secret” ...in other words if their voters could be kept in the dark. Think about that...

Just WOW. I doubt it would be as high as they say but I bet the number would stun us.

All about agenda with the Socialists and RINOs and not at all about what is best for our country or our citizens. Not at all.
