GOP senator hopes impeachment will be 'instructive' for Trump
Fox News ^ | JANUARY 26, 2020 | Andrew O'Reilly

Posted on 01/26/2020 1:15:31 PM PST by Hojczyk

Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., said on Sunday that he hopes undergoing impeachment and the trial in the Senate will “be instructive” for President Trump.

Braun’s comments came during a contentious back-and-forth with moderator Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” where Todd told the Indiana lawmaker that Trump "is going to take acquittal and think, 'I can keep doing this,'"

"No, I don't think that," Braun replied. "Hopefully, it'll be instructive."

"I think he'll put two and two together," the Indiana Republican added. "In this case, he was taken to the carpet."

I hope President Trump learns a lesson from this also. The lesson to never underestimate how low the lefty wackos will stoop and that every word they speak is a lie.

“...Show us some contrary info on him elsewhere....”

I don’t have it. This is the first I’ve heard of the guy.

And if those ARE in fact HIS words, that’s all one needs to know.

And there is the possibility that this could be pure bullsh*t too.

What’s the matter with Indiana? The Hoosier State votes perennially red in presidential elections, but that particular Senate seat has been held by douche bags ever since the great statesman William E. Jenner retired in 1959.

Doesn’t seem as if Braun has learned anything.

One wonders if these people ever pay attention to what We The People are actually saying outside the Washington Bubble.

This idiot just got elected (and is probably elated someone, anyone wanted to ask him any questions on camera folks!) and was sworn in 2019, so he's not up for reelection until 2014!

Another former dimocRAT posing as a conservative and since he hopes "Donald Trump learned his lesson" ("learned to embrace the swamp," huh Mikeee), so he's happy to share his thoughts on lessons he "hopes the President learns" (maybe like quitting tweeting, etc.).

A further lesson in exactly why party names need to be change to reflect what is reality, "conservative pro-life party" and "progressive/socialist pro-abortion party!"

I, for one, hopes that he “keeps doing this!”

He has done nothing wrong, and should keep on doing what he is doing!

POTUS is WINNING!

We are WINNING!

The USA is WINNING!

What is not to like?

“Piece of crap will probably switch back.”

Not likely in Indiana, too easy to call yourself a Republican and legislate like a Dim.

The GOP is a seemingly endless supply of douche.

It’s basically a douche geyser.


Yep. You would think the GOP being reduced to ashes without Trump would be instructive to former Democrat RINOs like Braun but I doubt it.

Hope it’s instructive for the GOP!
You really CAN fight, even if the media spends 99% of their air time trying to destroy you.

The GOP can still be fixed....I think.
IF they really became the party of the Constitution and rule of law, it would really help them.

Don’t be a bunch of McCain’s, don’t endorse Obama again.

Trump did nothing wrong, but he is the one that should learn a lesson?

What goes on in the head of people, to come up with such lame logic as this?

I think we’re winning too.
The enemy cannot withstand another 4 years of Trump especially IF WE really had a party helping Trump in DC.

He is threatening the racketeering that is DC.

The people have consented way too much for way too long!

Trump is US!

It’s not about Trump, that is why he IS the best President of my life time.

I am painting all these sentences on my car.

Well me too.... he’s from just about 39 miles north of me. He never made any indication that he was/is a RINO. He’s always been pro-Trump from what I could tell. Not very political savvy I dont think. Will have to see what shakes out.

He is justifying his elitist brain.
Sheer arrogance.

Upchuck baited him into saying this. He was arguing Trump has to be impeached or he will do this again. Braun was pushing back against that.
