Well he could ‘say’ he’s going to run in 2024 just to be a thorn in their side.

[kempster]

I think it is too late for that. He forgot who brought him to the dance.

China Mitch is a natural born minority leader. He’s gone home to help a Democrat POTUS achieve their agenda. How soon some of us forget the McConnell-Obama Iran deal. Anyone who thinks McConnell is “one of us” at this point is dangerously naive.

[MercyFlush]

“I’m no longer a republican voter...”

I’m no longer a Republican donor.

[lodi90]

I personally think McConnell should hold a speedy trial in order to force the Dems to start a 3rd Impeachment if he was smart which I’m not so sure about.

Agree. China Mitch is doing POTUS no favors here. He should hold a vote in the Senate immediately and shove this garbage right down Pelosi’s throat.

[ReelectTrump2020]

That or it is all political gamesmanship.

If he says he’s “undecided” he thinks it gives him ground from angering anyone on either side.

Then by not holding the vote to remove, he is never held to task and can still claim both sides if pushed. And if hounded by the Left over why he didn’t call the Senate back in to do it, he can try to claim it was outside his power to do so.

Rather than take a real stand, politicians pull this crap all the time. It will backfire and piss off Trump supporters like us, but he’s gambling on the Dems putting up someone like McGrath in 6 years and people not remembering by then.

Apparently this “moderate “ thinks they can just yank President Trump around for the rest of his life. If I were him I’d buy an island somewhere and retire to it, and tell Congress and politicians to go f*** themselves.

[The Pack Knight]

You can’t remove a president who is not the president. 2 + 2 = 4. They cannot remove Trump and cannot bar him from running for future office under the US Constitution. Game over.

I tend to agree. However, the Senate has consistently, throughout history, asserted that it does have jurisdiction to try the impeachment of a former officer. The Senate has never actually convicted a former officer, though, so no one has ever had standing to challenge that assertion in court.

[The Pack Knight]

Thanks, and sorry for posting the body. I must have checked an out-of-date “Excerpt and Link Only” list.

I don’t expect him or anyone else to reverse 30 years of progressive advancement. It’s just not going to happen. Nancy Pelosi is a threat to us though. She is a William Tecumseh Sherman level threat and my energy would be better served opposing her than Mitch McConnell I think. He has done nothing to convince me otherwise.

[Zhang Fei]

[Turtle putting out the statement that he was undecided on how he would vote if it came before the Senate and would let the law dictate, was his way of signaling he was distanced from Trump, but will not be the Jim Jones of the Republican party, knowing the law is entirely on Trumps side and so would vote no ultimately.]

---

That’s him putting on a show of impartiality to appeal to moderates. It’s a smarter strategy than Pelosi’s, which involves overt partisanship. Don’t look at what Mitch says - look at how he votes. I can’t think of too many occasions on which he said moderate things, while failing to vote for a right-wing bill.

[KeyLargo]

Here are the Republicans who voted to impeach Mr. Trump:

Liz Cheney of Wyoming

Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio

Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington

John Katko of New York

Adam Kinzinger of Illinois

Peter Meijer of Michigan

Dan Newhouse of Washington

Tom Rice of South Carolina

Fred Upton of Michigan

David Valadao of California

Cheney, the third-ranking Republican in the House, said in a statement on Tuesday that she would vote to impeach Mr. Trump

[View from the Cheap Seats]

Sounds like a deal is in the works.

[McGavin999]

I don’t want Trump to run again. I love him and want him to have a long and wonderful life. I want him to lead us against the GOPe and I want him to continue making America great.

I don’t want him to spend precious years exposed to massive hatred by the left. He is the greatest president of my lifetime.

[proust]

It’s cute that you think there will be fair elections in 2024.

[circlecity]

“This is about shutting Trump up because what he is about to expose on these ANTI American POS Demonrats and RINOS”

I think it’s also a threat to anyone else who may be thinking of bucking the system. This is unfolding like every other coup in history. Particularly the French Revolution.
