A former adviser to President George W. Bush has proposed a way for Senate Republicans to remove President Trump from office while avoiding accountability from angry Republican voters.
Juleanna Glover is a veteran Washington hostess, lobbyist, and strategist who has worked on the staffs of Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Glover also advised Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain during his 2008 presidential run.
Glover, 50, a longtime Trump critic who supported independent candidate Evan McMullin in 2016, proposed a strategy for Senate Republicans to oust Trump should the House follow through with impeaching the president. In an article for Politico, Glover wrote that a handful of outgoing Republicans could take all the political heat and force the Senate to adopt a secret vote on the articles of impeachment passed in the House.

It’s called unanimous consent, look it up.
I hope she does know that all would be blamed. Secret will not work.
I go back to school house justice. Whoever done it better own it because all will be punished and the perp/perps will face the wrath of all due to their cowardice. Could be very ugly.
But no doubt your reps and mine are buddies with her.
The only way to fix DC is to shun these rebels.
These visceral feelings, fed 24/7 by fake news and accepted as truth by low intellect allowing the enemies of this nation to ruin America without a shot being fired...this sort of propaganda sent Europe into a six year war, led by the lies fed to the people by propaganda. Could Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi with the help of enemies like Soros be leading many Americans in that direction?
The big difference between communism and fascism is that fascism was popular.
Hyperbole my friend. The iconic Capital building is a source of pride with plenty of room for gallows at the front of it, if you take my meaning.
It isn’t usually done in secret, an impeachment trial is different, and one person can block unanimous consent. Look it up. Do you think they’ll convict by unanimous consent?
They would try it.
Not a single senator vote to acquit? Highly unlikely. In any event, unanimous consent isn’t secret because it’s unanimous.
Dubya. Kristol. McCain. Weekly Standard. Lobbies for Silicon Valley. Signed amicus curiae supporting same-sex marriage.
This is the Republican Party Establishment.
First, while the process may have similarity to a trial, the 'jury' doesn't. The fact she has to go back 200 years to find an example provides no weight to her argument.
Second, she assumes political fallout to be contained to a few Senators. I would assume they are all guilty as charged.
Third, she proposes a 'principled Republican' to take PT's place. Should that occur, I predict you would see a popular and EC landslide...for the Rodent party, with the pubs delegated to a weak second or third place behind a new party. There's an excellent chance this would be the last Repub candidate for president.
I predict as things stand the Rodent party will not survive the 2020 election intact. Should this genius get her way, it will be the Repubs who will not survive intact, if at all.
No, honey, you can't go back to Kansas. We've seen the alternative, and we're not going back to the way things were before.
Never Trumpers should just be called “globalist swamp creatures”, which they are.
“Third, she proposes a ‘principled Republican’ to take PT’s place. Should that occur, I predict you would see a popular and EC landslide...for the Rodent party, “
I don’t think she’d have a problem with that. By definition, NeverTrumpers were OK with Hillary becoming president. So they aren’t opposed to the Democrats getting into power.
In some quarters.
My mother well remembered the wartime power struggle in Italy among the Nazis, the Communistas, and the Fascistas, and eventually the allies
Of course the Communistas won.
Rather, EVERYONE associated with the dead Senator McCain campaign, his Senate staff, his Arizona staff(s), and his lobbyist-lawyer group(s) needs to be exposed and FIRED!
Let them apply as democrat-GROPelites that they are.
