This is just more delusional wishful thinking by people who can’t forgive Trump for allowing Hillary to be such a terrible candidate. It always starts with some presumption that their mindset is the overwhelming popular opinion “surely we all agree that...” to make it seem like Trump is illegitimately ruling solely through trickery, and if only the silent majority of anti-trump senators would be brave, they could take the country back.
I assume that the Senate will vote to convict.
The GOP is a bunch of loser master craftsmen.
No senator can vote to impeach. The only thing they can vote to do is acquit or convict i.e. continue or remove.
It says right here that every Republican senator would rather keep doing what he is doing rather than have to hunt up a real job. About the time the trial started, the deluge of contact they would experience would make them want this trail to last about long enough for a voice vote.
I think the best thing now to keep the republicans in line would be a credible belief that if impeached and removed, president Trump would form a MAGA party. Normally I would be against a third party, but if the republicans stab us in the back one more time, I think Trump could accomplish it.
the Senate doesn’t get to vote whether he is impeached.
I assume nothing in this mess. I despise liars and cheats.
Seriously, I assume no such thing.
One:Politicians exist in a bubble that is of their own making. Two: I believe most Republicans hate Trump and would like him gone: Three: WE have given them no reason to believe that we’ll get off our collective ass no matter WHAT they do.
We have swamp creatures, too. I’m lookin’ at YOU Willard.
Right. Take your political advice from the Schlizz.
No. They will never remove Trump.
The Senate MAY vote to dismiss impeachment altogether. Only takes 50, Pence breaks a tie. Almost Minion-proof.
And do not assume, CNN minions, that we will never imprison or hang the likes of Hillary, Comey, Lynch, Brennan, Abadeen, Biden, Awan, Kerry, Lerner, Holder...
There are only 3 WAYS that Trump can be removed by the Senate:
1) Trump buckles on immigration
2) Trump buckles on gun control
3) Trump actually did something worthy of removal
All three have ONE THING in common, which is that Trump would no longer have his loyal base of 90% Republican support. If that day comes, then yes, Trump would be in trouble.
Other than that, it’s just PARANOIA to think that 20 Republican Senators will give up their entire political careers simply to remove Trump...because that is EXACTLY what they would be doing if they vote that way - and they know it, full well.
there is ZERO chance of Trump being removed from office, especially with an election about to happen where the PEOPLE get to decide.
That’s not math and it comes from cnn. Wishful thinking.
The GOP is Trump’s now. Any GOPer that thinks otherwise is a fool. Any GOP’er who crossed over will find in his next re-election trying to stay in office with a very depressed GOP & independent vote very very difficult, in short he wouldn’t make it! The Rats aren’t going to reward the turncoat by giving him/her no opposition and past service won’t mean squat to Rat constituents! They’ll not be happy until a fellow Rat occupies the seat. Rats are much more monolithic then GOP’ers when it comes to voting. The turncoat think he’ll get that cushy high-perk, high pay, low work Beltway job, maybe at least until the next well Rat-connected Hunter Biden comes along and needs work. Nothing beats the prestige & perks of being Senator. Nothing! You give that up at your future peril!
The GOP would cease to exist as a Party.
The consequences of nullifying the votes of 63 million people far outweigh the political benefits, and they know it.
It will be time to storm the castle.
“The Senate better stay sane and NOT vote to impeach. “
They won’t vote to impeach because the Senate doesn’t impeach. The House impeaches.
That would be one way to end the Republican party.
Fortunately, McConnell and Graham are on the ballot in 2020. No way the GOP Senate club would throw them under the bus and vote to remove POTUS.
The Senate GOP game plan is to wound POTUS so badly he loses in 2020. But they need Trump voters to get reelected.
There is no way that the Senate will vote to remove Donald Trump. The house may well vote to impeach him but the Senate has more conservative people. Democrats in the house are easily swayed but not conservative, thinking adults. It will never happen.
