A group of moderates, including Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), met with McConnell Friday afternoon to hash out strategy to end the trial.
In response to the concerns of moderates who want to follow the model of the 1999 Clinton impeachment trial, which set up 25 hours of closed-door deliberations, Senate GOP leaders floated the idea of having time for deliberations starting Monday. But under one proposal senators would have gotten 10 minutes each to speak on the articles of impeachment against Trump.

Moderates?..More like traitors !!
Because he won't be able to turn around and look Pelosi right in nasty nasty face and say. "NOT GUILTY, NOW AND FOREVER".
Some not showing up is a possibility.
I would not be surprised if some of the Dems walked out on the President. And there will be attempts to embarrass the President in the gallery, I am guessing.
Dxxx the Dems and the “moderate” Pubs for postponing this vote.
They’d be just as nasty then. They’re going to get nastier and nastier.
Well, I wonder what B.S. bombshells the Democrat media will float between now and Wednesday. These would be better prop bets than in the Super Bowl. The wilder and stupider, the more likely.
They only think they have screwed up the SOTU address. President Trump will make mincemeat out of them Tuesday evening. It will be awesome to watch. I may have to break Keto and eat popcorn. It will be hilarious to see Pelosi sit behind him looking like she sucked a lemon and the dems all sit in the crowd looking like the idiots that they are. Hopefully Nancy seems her polygraph so she doesnt have to keep sucking her teeth
‘The Dems are going to be very nasty during the SOTU. Their true, ugly colors will shine.’
Postpone it till after!
I agree, I would not give the address until the cloud of
the trial was behind me. How bad it looks for an impeached
President with the best record of any President having his
record denigrated by letting him swing in the wind.
There isn’t even a crime here to deliberate. What a f—ing farce.
Oh my that would be pretty dang awesome
They don’t want him to be able to give the SOTU with this off his back. The GOPe is a disaster. They want more “news” to come out before Wednesday
I agree. We can put nothing past them.
They’re showing their true, ugly colors and good, decent and normal people don’t like what they’re seeing.
“Mitch the Turtle sucks. Human scum. I thought he was the Senate genius.”
This is about a few Senate Republicans who demand their time in the spotlight.
Cocaine Mitch brought it to the finish line and shut the Dems down.
Some people refuse to get it, addicted to clutching pearls.
Dammit McConnell, grow some balls. Tell them all to go take a leap into lake Gofnckyourself. Even if you loose them, it’s over. Piss on those rats!
And it will! There is no end to the Obama holdovers still in the Executive Branch. Don't ask me why; I'll never understand why Trump did not clean house from Day 1!
Maybe but it still ticks me off
Nancy just wouldn’t invite him
He didn’t know from day 1 AND these people are damn hard to get rid of!!! He can however start putting them in positions they don’t like!!!
This gives the Democrats and Never Trumpers one more Hail Mary that Trump May say something Tuesday night at the State of the Union to sway votes. It also allows the media to discuss non-stop the impeachment vote and how horrible the Republicans are before and after the State of the Union. Bet Schiff is given the role of responding to the SOTU address.
Thats just a formality. Pelosi is a nobody. The President has total control over the SOTU address. I hope he delays the address and I think there is a very good chance he will.
