Savage is still around? Wow, havent heard from him in years.
Mister Wiener, go away please, just go away.
As l’ve said the only thing the could save Trump is the fact that Mitch and Linda are both up in 20.
Savage Weiner WARNS?
Did someone knock him & his poodle over again?
Apparently he doesn’t know how to read. The Republicans are with the President and hardly in favor of impeachment.
It’s not a real impeachment because the President did nothing wrong or illegal.
It’s a political persecution, and enough Senators that want to save their careers can see that ... sure, you might get the Usual Unreliables (Collins, Murkowski, and Romney) and a few other panicky wimps, but there’s won’t be 67, no freaking way
Nancy doesn’t have the guts to bring it to a vote in the House for fear of vindication in the Senate before the election.
Who has been kissing Mike Pence’s backside trying to become his VP nominee when Trump is removed from office?
True, BUT, the Senators will do what is best for the SENATORS!
I don’t think voting to convict a president of their own party (over NOTHING) is in their best interest.
Boy howdy, ain't that the truth but again it was not obvious in any way.
Savage is so right on some things, many things perhaps.
But he gets some stuff wrong too....
yes, a few RINOs will vote against PDJT (Romney, Collins probably, Murkowski... the usual bad actors)
but.. it will be the end of their political careers.
and,
meanwhile the DNC will have committed absolute suicide ... and our attention will be focused on what new political party will blossom, replace them
There is nothing to gain for the Senate Republicans by voting to remove President Trump from office. They would destroy themselves. So their own self-interest points to voting to acquit.
Likely many R senators have been leveraged by videos and stills.
To convict in the senate you need 2/3s but only of those present: "no person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present" (Article I, section 3)"
Do you see how the vote can be gamed? Senators like Cornyn, Sasse, Rubio, etc won't be present. They will be mysteriously absent from the proceedings.
Their absence will be effectively a vote to convict. This is how these backstabbers roll.
A question for all Freepers (and for all conservatives):
Do you think than at least some GOP senators are Deep State establishment types? If you answered “yes” to that question, then think about it. Savage might be right.
I don’t believe that the GOP Deep Staters would betray Trump today. It’s too risky for them politically. But if the House could come up more serious accusations, things would quickly change. The knives would come out.
The senate republicans can swing just as well from the gallows, trees, and street lights as the house democrats, ciaramella, vindman, paige, strzok, brennan, etc, etc would.
Any Republican senator who would vote to convict the president had better stay off the streets.
I think he already knows that.. Do they know they are signing their political suicide order if they ditch him?
He might have a point on this.
