BREAKING: GOP Senators Now Believe They Have The Votes To Block Witnesses
The Gateway Pundit ^ | January 29, 2020 | Eric A. Blair

Posted on 01/29/2020 1:03:01 PM PST by conservativepoet

There’s a reason Mitch McConnell has been Senate Majority Leader for the past 13 years: He gets the job done.

And the biggest part of that job is keeping the GOP caucus, however necessary. At this point, he appears to have pulled off the feat once again.

Yup -- McConnell takes a lot of cheap shots because he capitulates too early if he thinks he doesn't have the votes.

But when he thinks the votes are in reach, he is generally excellent at gathering and holding those votes. And he's ruthless when he thinks he can win.

“If that’s so, I’ll be waiting for the Democrats to pull another potential star witness out of their ... hats.”

We both understand your misspelling...

I don’t think the democrats want witnesses either even if they don’t admit it.

Agreed. I think if there was the vote to open the floor for witnesses for both sides, half the Democrats would vote against it, and so would Pierre Delecto.

Yes, of course, that’s why I didn’t make a source crack, but I’m not sure how much better the hill actually is.

But don’t mind me, I hope this news is true.

The Democrat game plan since the impeachment vote was to smear the Senate. In a way, the witness story was a win-win for them. If there are no witnesses, they go with the cover-up smear. With witnesses, they would smear them for not hearing enough witnesses.

What they don't realize is that only their hard-core supporters care. And they aren't voting for any GOP Senators anyway.

By Labor Day, no one will care about the nuances of impeachment. Heck, they might not even care by St. Patrick's Day.

Part of me really does want them to call the Rats’ bluff.

But I don’t think in the end, it will change many minds, anyway.

This was never in doubt. You just have to see that everyone is spinning. Heck, this announcement is another spin.

Rush said it best. This is a historic case, and everyone wants their name attached to it in some way to help fuel their future careers.

Now new Bolton video was the reason for the RINO change, or else they would have voted with the Democrats for more witness’s.

Impeached and Re-Elected!

That’s will just make them even more rabid.

He hasn’t been the Senate Majority Leader the last 13 years. The Republicans didn’t have a majority until 2017.

It’s over.


It’s not over. The witness count is currently Democrats 17 - GOP 0. The Dems will continue calling witnesses in the House and the GOP Senate will continue doing nothing to engage the hoaxblower coupist op.
