Critical swing-vote Sen. Lamar Alexander says he will announce Thursday night whether he’s voting to call witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trial.
The retiring Tennessee Republican’s stance could dictate the outcome of a high-stakes vote on Friday and determine if Trump’s trial ends quickly or is extended weeks with witnesses.
...
“I have spoken to Lamar a number of times,” Cruz told reporters during the dinner break Thursday. “In terms of the votes, all 47 Democrats have been clear that they will vote to call additional witnesses. The big question is will four Republicans join the 47 Democrats? Two Republicans, Sen. Romney and Sen. Collins, have indicated publicly that they tend to vote that way and I think there are several other Republicans who may or may not join them.”

will announce Thursday night...
er, is he gonna do it at 2am? :)
Two Republicans, Sen. Romney and Sen. Collins, have indicated publicly that they tend to vote that way and I think there are SEVERAL other Republicans who may or may not join them.”

I read on twitter that he handed Mitch a paper and Mitch read it and put it in his shirt pocket.
It was hard to read his face but he didn’t look at Lamar.
But that means nothing.
We shall see
They hit Lamar with things he said during the clinton impeachment
He’s an attention whore.
Your either a complete dumbass or a never Trumper to be undecided at this point. I prefer the latter.
Doesn’t much matter, Romney, Collins, Murkowski and Chief Justice DS will vote for witnesses. The only real question is whether they will allow only democrat witnesses. I’m beginning to believe, more than likely, that will be the case. House Impeachment/Kavanaugh 2.0
Typical Lamar. Made it about him...
He’s retiring, what does he have to lose, he’ll vote for witnesses.
Juries hear prosecutors’s cases. Juries done make or salvage them.
No. He is not in it for the attention, only the money.
These people are like children who act up to get attention, even uncomfortable attention, from adults.
Then juvenile offenders and school troublemakers who get attention. Drug trouble, rehab, probation.
Then grow up to be Romney,Collins types who have everyone waiting and wondering and not daring to breathe until they hear what the grownup delinquents decide.
People with character and loyalty to others get no attention.
I’m really praying that Murkowski, Manchin, and Sinema will vote against witnesses. It would be great to see a couple of Dems vote like this, and to see Murkowski fall in line.
But he has to live in this country. Retirement is no safe haven.
If you’re not being sarcastic, you’re an imbecile.
Murkowski has already acknowledged that she will likely NOT vote for witnesses and The Chief Justice under no circumstances EVER would be entitled to a vote.
Now go back to playing with your tinker toys or whatever you do to keep yourself entertained.
That, too. He made an “investment” of $1 back when he was the governor and it turned into a $100,000 windfall. Yea, right.
Just like obamacare repeal. Down to one vote.
Did they hit him will all the things current Dem Senators said during the Clinton impeachment, that they care not a whit about now?
If he votes to extend this BS trial, I hope he is shunned in the state of Tennessee until they bury him.
Mitt can drop for all I care. He’s the sleaziest slick talker in DC now.
