Here is Romney's (or any Republican's) dilemma if they vote FOR hearing witnesses.

If Trump's team says these are not impeachable offenses, and yet the Republicans vote for witnesses, that is really a de facto rejection of the President's argument.

Why waste the Senate's time with witnesses when the charges aren't impeachable in the first place?

A vote for witnesses is a rejection of the Trump team's core argument. Why would Republicans want to do that?

A vote FOR witnesses will just give the Democrats the talking point that Republicans don't believe the argument that their own President's actions don't rise to the level of an impeachable offense.

Right, and the "charges" are an attempt to cover-up the scam that is foreign aid and the corruption based on nepotism. Both sides do it and both should be brought down.
