Smoke some more crack. The only lesson Trump learned is he can do whatever he wants and you won’t hold him accountable! You are a disgrace to this country, and I am confident the voters, will hold you accountable!
Maybe. But I can’t understand how Manchin can possibly vote to convict. He would be signing his own political death certificate. Trump won West Virginia with 69% of the vote in 2016.
A bi-partisan acquittal would be sweet ... that’s for sure. It would very likely send the Democrat/Left Party leadership right over the cliff they are teetering on, and would be an absolute pleasure to behold.
