'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.

“Prominent GOP consultant Mike Murphy...”

Another “gift” from Ireland (along with the Murphy of CT and the Murphy of NJ). What did we ever do wrong to Ireland?

Complete BS. Murphy is a NeverTrumper who cannot tell the truth, ever. Don’t believe a word of that report. Total Fake News.

I never said there aren’t Senate Republicans that hate Trump, but look at it as a relationship of convenience. Who (R) in the Senate wants to go against Trump, publicly? Maybe Romney, nominally, maybe, Collins....other than that zero. I’m not convinced the Romney/Trump hatefest isn’t somewhat contrived. Besides, Murphy was a big Jeb! guy...didn’t work out to well for him so he became a bitter never Trumper...therefore, zero credibility. What evidence do have otherwise?

Is this f-ing BS the way the country is going to go down? This President is basically all alone in Washington. All of this is so unsettling.

Ya know, I just don’t see Lee and Collins going for this. Romney is likely to be out there by himself. Such a punk. Shame on the people of Utah for electing this bum.

There’s no limit to the evil votes Senators would make if votes were secret...

Very true. Usually doing things that require secrecy is a bad idea. In fact, if you can't admit that you did something publicly then you probably shouldn't do it.

Evil lurks in secrecy.

More Fake News from filthy treasonous lies from the DNC cockroaches.


True enough. I have no doubt all 53 GOP Senators would vote to impeach POTUS if the vote was secret.

This is just one guy's claim.

The guy lives in Los Angeles. He did know and work for a few big wigs in his Washington days, but he certainly doesn't have his fingers on the pulse of DC Republicans nowadays.

But I get it. Fake news junk journalism like this fills websites and gives people an opportunity to vent in the comments.

There will be another civil war in our nation ,it’s just a matter of time. We will one day take our nation back and get to elect representatives that truly care about our Constitution and countrymen.

“he certainly doesn’t have his fingers on the pulse of DC Republicans nowadays.”

Really? I’m not going to say that about the consultant who has been hired by all the party’s top leaders except Trump. It’s like saying the handpicked spokesman for a series of GE ceos has no idea about the culture and inner workings of GE. Bush family, McCain and Romney ARE the GOP - they were it’s standard bearers for 20 years before Trump, and most GOP elected in DC, esp in the Senate, are still Bushites. Even in the House - notice how they gave Liz Cheney the no 2 job in her first term. And they made Paul Ryan their leader

Mike Murphy is more representative of the GOP establishment, including its Senators and many in the House, than Trump is

My LAST vote will likely be for Trump in 2020.

I have ZERO reason to vote Republican.

My entire family 20+ feel the same way. If Trump loses the country will be lead by Lunatic Democrats forever. They will rule ruthlessly with help from a few Eunuch Republicans.

It will be like one of those Afghan celebrations where everyone shoots into the air, only we will forget to shoot into the air.

I agree, but I don’t think Hannity, and especially Rush adhere to the Rs.

I wasn't sure who this loser was until I looked up his name, this stooge is a total sycophant to whatever MSM show he is on for the sole purpose of slamming conservatives and Republicans - kinda like his own Stockholm Syndrome when on the nets.
