Trump Is Just Six Senate Votes Away From Impeachment
newsweek ^ | Aug 17, 2017 | Elaine C. Kamarck

Posted on 08/17/2017 7:08:02 PM PDT by blueyon

At some point in 2019 (if not sooner) a Republican Senator may walk into the Oval Office and say to President Trump: “Mr. President, we don’t have the votes,” at which point the Trump presidency will end in a resignation or a conviction in the Senate.

This scenario actually occurred forty-three years ago this summer when Republican Senator Barry Goldwater walked into the Oval Office and told Republican President Richard Nixon that they didn’t have the votes in the Senate to save his presidency.

"On what grounds are Senators voting for Impeachment?"

Defeating Hillary in November. An unpardonable offense to the media and Deep State.

“Going to assume you meant it as a joke...but it is not funny nor appropriate.”

What in heaven’s name are you going on about? Have you not been hearing the constant assasination threats and rumors of “sudden removal”? My point is that anyone who tries to illegally remove Trump from office may very well end up swinging from a rope.

I think that is quite appropriate and I stand by it.

Newsweak = Fake News

Newsweek said Hillary would win in a landslide. They ran FAKE POLLS all the election cycle.

Let’s not forget their fake Newsweek issue they printed out saying Madam President for Hillary winning the election. They thought the steal would happen.

Remember too Newsweek sold for $1.00 to the Washington Post I think?

Newsweak is a joke. Don’t pay attention to these liars.

I agree with you. We Deplorable Bitter Clingers would declare war. Even old ladies like me.

I doubt it.

Especially if Trump resigns.

Yup. Conservatives won’t fight back.

I use to think we would. I was wrong.

They would most likely think that there would be no danger because it appears that they cannot get voted out of office, they have secret service protection, and how many people in Congress have actually been assassinated?
