Trump is expected to be acquitted in the vote on the second article, obstruction of Congress, in a party-line vote with all Republicans voting to acquit and all Democrats voting to convict

We need the names of the Independents that voted to impeach.

We can’t expect them to ever vote correctly, so they need to be watched closely when they come up for election again so they can have a good conservative opponent.

Like Bernie Sanders? Ok, Bernie Sanders. He is guaranteed to support Democrats in almost any matter like this.

He is at this point.

He would have to leave his cult in the right way to avoid damnation.

I pray he does.

A correct prayerful reading of the Gospel of John works well.

That is a Mormon trait.

They can never stand on principle, because they have to find out from their leadership what “today’s” principles are supposed to be.

Constant equivocation!

Thanks. That’s one...

I wasn’t listening to the names when they voted with the dems.

If it makes you feel any better I do not associate any taint upon the LDS any more than I do the GOP.

Romney is a closet Democrat and always has been.

I would hope that he’d come out of the closet and switch to being the Democrat he is.

Taking a dive in 2012 exposed Romney as a Uniparty dupe.

If it would make a difference, he would switch parties.

The problem is independents like Angus King (Maine) are IINO (Independent In Name Only). They mainly vote with the Dems.

I wished he would, but he won’t do so. He does not want to be in the minority in the Senate.

I would change “now” to “still” but yeah, he is very much part of the problem.

Actually they have a bipartisan vote to acquit.

Declared innocent and not guilty.

Doesn’t matter why it is bipartisan.

Acquitted Not Guilty and Innocent of wrongdoing FOREVER!

You can’t tear that up #DogPooNeedlesNancy!

“I wonder what the dumb bitches on the view will have to say about this tomorrow.”

Chances are I’ll never know. My guess is they will mindlessly parrot the liberal talking points.

We can do better than that. We can invoke the tradition of our illustrious forbears, reach back to a purer, sterner justice, and have him BURNED AT THE STAKE!

You’re exactly right. It’s incremental and gradual acceptance.

Yes he has 4 years but WV loves President Trump. They will remember. He has dreams of being Governor. He’s done.
