I don’t know if she is the best we can do up there.

There’s always the possibility of that.

We’re in agreement on her problematic nature.

PS

I tried to call the Leader McConnell’s office; his mailbox was full! Hope EVERY message was “End it, and end it now!”

HST, I was able to send an email to that effect to him.

Hope he has a Staffer who is paying attention tonight!

Romney the steaming pile of dung. I get Collins, no hard feelings with her. And not a single Democrat had the balls to stand up to Schiff? So pathetic.

Sorry for Collins everyone. I haven’t been to the Maine GOP convention in a couple of years but I’m tempted to go to hear the conservative activists boo her off the stage. I think she’s lost this election, Only thing that may save her is she’s running against Gideon.

I feel the same way. We knew about Collins but for Romney it’s all petty jealousy. Dick head.

Any new charges would have to presented to the House, and be acted upon there.

If they are not in the articles before the Senate, they’re dead in this proceeding.

If anyone disagrees with that, speak up. That’s how I understand it, but I could be wrong.

Did my personal prayers an hour ago and prayed that God would bless America and finish this nonsense.

The Democrat Senators on the ballot Tuesday, heartily agree with you. For different reasons of course.

I know where you are coming from.

I think we’re okay. I trust Mitch in this. He wouldn’t have worked so hard to get the vote today, if he was willing to let Trump hang out to dry.
