Cassidy calls Trump attorneys 'disorganized' after surprise vote to proceed with trial
THEHILL.COM ^ | 09 FEBRUARY 2021 | JORDAIN CARNEY

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) on Tuesday panned the arguments made by former President Trump's legal team, saying that House Democrats made a more compelling case that the impeachment proceeding is constitutional.

"I said I'd be an impartial juror. Anyone listening to those arguments — the House managers were focused. They were organized. They relied upon both precedent, the constitution and legal scholars. They made a compelling reason. President Trump's team were disorganized," he said.

Even if that means we have to work for Chuck and Nancy.

On my death bed, suffering great anguish and pain, I would still spit on their faces and die rather than work with the likes of those two criminal seditious treasonous bastards.

So, there is that small problem.

you’re doomed. people like you will never get their political act together. irrational hatred isn’t an organizing concept. it isn’t a goal, and it isn’t a manageable objective.

it’s a temper tantrum.

niki haley is running for the nomination in 2024. she could well win it.

here’s a big bucket of ice cold reality for you; if trump had dumped pence and put haley on the ticket, he would have probably won — despite the unverified mail ballots.

think that snit through.

I agree that we have to fight in the primaries, but let’s face it. Senator Cornyn will win his next primary. Just like he did the last one.

He won re-ection last fall with a 58-42 margin.

I can’t kick him out by voting against him in the primary and sitting out the general.

I can, however, vote against him BOTH times and try to get others to do the same. Once Cornyn is gone, we will have hope of putting in another like Cruz (hopefully better).

Liz Cheney is not worried because she won her primary by massive margins. People of WY need to vote against her BOTH times, too.

No it’s not, see cantor. And if you think it’s impossible to primary them, how does voting for their much, much more liberal D opponent going to change things for the better? More people voting D = more politicians believing you need to vote more left

So, if the 6 Republicans voted no, it would have been a 50 - 50 tie. Then Harris would have walked in and made it 51 - 50 in favor of the process to continue. When the Dems rigged the Georgia election, the impeachment was part of the plan. Lucky it takes a 2/3rds majority to convict. I hope the GOP sticks together for Trump.

Next, a ruling by the Supreme Court to make it impossible to impeach a citizen who once held office.

look, I’m just telling you that screaming into the night on an internet message forum isn’t going to get it done for you.

it obviously hasn’t so far.

you can’t change the world by hating it. you have to manage to a positive, achievable goal. “I HATE THE DAMN REPUBLICANS” is not an identifiable, achievable goal.

change your game, or you will still be doing this 10 years from now, just like you were 10 years ago.

I disagree with you. Remember the AL Senate special election to replace Sessions?

Good solid conservative on the ticket, and the establishment works with the Dems so the Dem could win.

that’s a really good point, and a good example. the people in cantor’s district made an informed primary decision, and made a positive change in their district and in the composition of the house.

that didn’t throw a temper tantrum and swear to vote for nancy pelosi next cycle.
