Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Sunday that the Senate’s impeachment trial could last as long as eight weeks if the chamber elects to hear from witnesses.
“I think it’s certainly possible that this trial could last one to two weeks, on the other hand if the Senate makes the decision to go down the road of additional witnesses that could extend it to six to eight weeks or even longer,” Cruz told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Warren and Bernie are going to love hearing that. Iowa caucuses on 3 February.
Dismissing it as meritless takes no time at all.
I don’t believe there will be witnesses.
The Rat’s faces will be rubbed raw with their own crap and it will be over with pretty quickly.
Democrats look at it as 8 weeks more robbed from the Trump administration.
Especially on Judges.
The longer the merrier. And I think the MSM would love it for ad revenue. :)
What a waste of time for the Senate not only on America’s dime but displacing America”s priorities.
Why stop The Greatest Show on Earth? Bring in the clowns.
Yep. No judges while the Senate trial occurs. Swell.
How much fundraising can be done from the Senate floor?
“Yep. No judges while the Senate trial occurs. Swell.”
Is there some clause in the constitution pertaining to this?
When this nonsense is all over, I think this can create major campaign issues for Trump and Republicans.
A key thing could be how the Democrats accomplish nothing in power. They won the 2018 midterms, wanting to work on education and healthcare and infrastructure , but when we give Democrats power, all they did was impeach the president.
What the heck do Democrats stand for, anyway? Open borders , global warming, shoving LGBT transgendered bathrooms down our throats?
Super Tuesday is March 3. This Senate trial could screw up the entire democratic nomination process.
Which is just what Hillary wants. Click my screen name for an analysis of how she wins next November.
Well then don’t give them their F’n witnesses. Shut down the sh*t circus and go home. You are the Senate Majority Leader Mitch act like it. I really wish someone credible would stand up and Primary Mitch I am sick of his timid excruciatingly slow limp wristed routine.
The only way that happens is if she has Trump Arkancided.
Which is not out of the realm of possibility.
Waste of time? That’s all the house has done since the dems got power back!
They have made the single greatest case as to shy it should be a part time job for 50k instead of a full time job with millions in illegal perks
And because all the other candidates are tied up with a trial it would be so heroic for Michelle Obama to come in and out of desperation and out of altruism to take the nomination. You could say the same thing about Hillary Clinton. Oh no I must be crazy thinking such bastards thoughts.
N more judges confirmed in that time period.
