Add this to their “faithless elector” demands to a long list of hysterical and desperate attempt to stop Trump.
Unless these Senators are set to retire they wouldn’t dare do this....................................
Can you say “political suicide?”
It would be the end of the Republican Party.
The Democrats are playing a very, very dangerous game with the American people. They need to be aware of the law of unintended consequences.

What the hell does a Republican senator gain if he refuses to show up for an impeachment vote? He's going to pay the same political price as he would if he simply voted to remove the President from office.
Reminds me of that dope on NBC during the 2000 election recount process who suggested that George W. Bush should concede to Al Gore "for the good of the country," regardless of how the recount turned out. It took about two seconds for the guy next to him to laugh in his face and point out (in so many words): "If he does that then Dick Cheney becomes the President of the United States, you jackass."
This is about as likely as removing Pence at the same time as Trump to install Pelosi as President. Ridiculous. But I agree that the Dem media is fantasizing about it for sure.
If the campaigning Dems MUST stop campaigning and be present in the Senate during the trial, how then can any Republicans be absent?
Ask the Dems how they plan to take Pence out.
They’ve already said they are gunning for him one way or another.
This is simply yet another FANTASY in a long line of unrealistic DemocRAT and Never-Trump waking wet dreams.
If republicans dont back trump. They are toast. The party will not vote for RINOs if Trump were to lose. There would not be another republican President for decades.
Republicans need to push for dismissal based on the sham process used in the House, the lack of direct witness testimony, and the lack of a high crime.

People are confident that Trump will never be removed, but it would be incredibly damaging if he were simply impeached. (Imagine news articles, headlines, and liberal talking-heads all beginning with the words, “Impeached President Trump...”.)
Based on the information that the House has now, an impeachment wouldn’t simply be spiteful and unwarranted, it would definitively mark a descent in our body politic; our Republic would take generations to recover from it (assuming we even could).
Doesn’t work
if all vote, it would take 20 Repubs to vote yes to remove, a 67 to 33 vote
if those 20 sit out instead, then the vote is 47 to 33, which is only 58.75%.
It would take 30 repubs sitting out, to get a 47 to 23 vote enough for a two thirds removal vote
I think the population would still burn DC to the ground. If we cannot vote in a president without an opposing political party using parliamentary procedure to remove our votes, then we no longer have a country and that party should not benefit from their actions.
I don’t. It’s dumb.
Personally I am uneasy about the constant refrain that the Senate wont remove. Too much invested behind the scenes by Trump haters.
