The Senate sent a strong signal Tuesday that there are not nearly enough votes to convict President Trump in an impeachment trial when only five GOP senators rejected an effort by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to declare the looming trial unconstitutional.

The Senate voted 55-45 to set aside Paul's motion, with all but five GOP senators siding with Paul. GOP Sens. Mitt Romney (Utah), Ben Sasse (Neb.), Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Pat Toomey (Pa.) voted with Democrats to table Paul's point of order.

“So . . . I wonder what those five will be doing in private life.”

Making obscene amounts of money as a lobbyist.

Fascinating. Only Murkowski practiced law. Romney got his JD/MBA and did other things.

Well, we’ve got Senator-elect Sarah Palin coming up to replace Murkowski. Now we need replacements for the rest.

Any other suggestions ? ? ?

Those five must be on the primary list next round.

Two years before the primary there needs to be a study of
who is running. Put the word out. If you want to be
considered, get in the pool.

At one year out, after studying the candidates, you select
one using some sort of in-house pre-primary primary.

Then you have one man one year before the primary. Give
that guy all your support and push him over the finish
line.

Our most important job is to primary lackluster back-stabbers.

“GOP Sens. Mitt Romney (Utah), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine), Ben Sasse (Neb.) and Pat Toomey (Pa.) have all released public statements congratulating Biden on his Election win”

The usual suspects. Sasse has been such a disappointment.

Senators voted Tuesday to proceed with an impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump — though more than a third of them dissented, in a vote that Republicans said shows Mr. Trump will ultimately be acquitted.
