Senator Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) on Tuesday said he doesn’t have the votes to block a resolution to allow witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial, according to multiple reports.

McConnell made the admission in talks with Senate Republicans after President Trump’s defense team concluded its arguments.

Let the games begin.

From The Hill:

“Senate Republicans emerged from a closed-door caucus meeting on Tuesday voicing renewed confidence that they will bypass a nasty witness fight in the impeachment trial.”

“The consensus is that we’ve heard enough and it’s time to go to a final judgement,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) told reporters.

So which is it, witnesses or a straight vote for acquittal?

Good bye Joe Biden—it wasn’t good knowing you.

[cowboyusa]

The nr fox axis is pure scum. We have now come to the point where cnn, now reports more accurately.

[elpadre]

To call for witnesses in the Senate is to say the House failed to prove their case.

[devane617]

This makes way more sense and is more believable.

[Jeff Chandler]

The Republican Senators will NEVER have enough votes to require Biden to testify.

[Texas Eagle]

Fine. Start with the Mittens’ campaign aide who worked for Burisma. Maybe he can explain the nature of the corruption Burisma was engaged in and why Gropin’ Joe Biden wanted the investigation into said corruption stopped.

WHY can’t he HAVE a bote, and LET US SEE WHO is voting for and against. This would be GOOD information in an election.

John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) told reporters.

This is probably close to the truth. Any Republican Senator that votes for witnesses after this fiasco is a traitor to America.

No, it means the fix is in.

Turtle goes back into his shell.
If he worked for a private company, he would have been fired 20 years ago.

GONZO

[Parley Baer]

Will any dimoKKKRATS vote for no witnesses?

[Jeff Chandler]

This is probably close to the truth.

I pray you are right.

[Zathras]

Exactly!
Romney is gathering support to take McConnell’s spot as Senate Majority and they are stupid enough to give it to him

[DoughtyOne]

Yep, call the vote for acquittal.
