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.

Where are the Bushes and the McCains today? Not in Congress.

You know, you could make the same argument about Joe Scarborough.

In the Nineties, he must have been exactly where the Republican Party was in DC in terms of his attitudes and positions, but what's he saying now?

Too many cocktail parties with Democrats can make a GOP stalwart lose touch with what Republicans - even elected DC Republicans - are thinking.

They don't love Trump in DC, but half of them aren't going to vote to impeach him.

Even Nixon had supporters until the tapes came out, and Trump is doing a lot better in the polls than Nixon was at that point.

Murphy spent $100 million dollars to get Jeb Bush elected president (no, it wasn't his own money), and Bush won all of 3 delegates.

And the idiot doesn't even know that Senators vote to convict or acquit, not to impeach.

How in touch with anything could the guy possibly be?

I'm not saying Trump is loved by Senate Republicans. I'm just saying this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. His estimate is way too high.

I disagree. I don’t consider this article fake news. I believe most GOP senators are Bushies who despise Trump and would love to oust him if they could

And then get president Pence.....think about it!!!

[terycarl]

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.....

Without him, many of them would be looking for a job!!

[Bulwyf]

heh ya.

I may not live through anything like that, but at this point, it’s not for me, it’s for my kids.

In some states, they are leftist infiltrators. In others, they are the henpecked traitors of public corruption. Both kinds work against American freedom. They struggle against the Constitution.

[rockrr]

Good. More names for my list...

[4integrity]

Exactly. Long time ago, I stopped donating to RNC, Senatorial & Congressional Committees. Told them I’d reconsider when they find courage to stand up to devious Dems....I’m still waiting and they still get no money.

[Bommer]

If he’s so prominant, why has no one heard of this asshat?

said, "..you were one of the high intellectuals.."

They're cultist

[dirtboy]

Murphy, who previously advised Republican politicians including Mitt Romney, John McCain and Jeb Bush, said in an interview with MSNBC.

Three complete losers.

[DannyTN]

Fighting to reclaim the Republican party from the RINO’s and uniparty candidates is likely to be more successful than trying to go third party or not voting at all.

I have voted third party when the Republicans offered up an unacceptable candidate like Romney.
But primaries are important.

[yoe]

This POTUS deserves far better than he is getting from his own party and in my book, that is a disgrace! However, this article "'30 REPUBLICAN SENATORS WOULD VOTE TO IMPEACH TRUMP' IF VOTE WAS SECRET, GOP CONSULTANT CLAIMS" is hypothetical and will be used by the left to confuse and hammer. Mr. Lemon could have written something less obtuse.

If you want a gullible chump believing certified and well known liars in the Fake Stream News , then that is your decision.
