Impeachment is a political act. The only questions now are will the House have the votes. After today’s escapades I’d be surprised if they didn’t.
Given Romney, Murkowski & Collins sitting over there in the Senate all spinless and such, this could be very close.
But Democrats say Trump has commmitted crimes.
So they have proof?
Again, didn’t think so...
Doesn’t it take more than 51 votes to impeach?
Ok, so you named 3. 50-50 doesn’t remove. It takes 67. You got 17 more?
“Given Romney, Murkowski & Collins sitting over there in the Senate all spinless and such, this could be very close.”
Still leaves the Dems 17 short in the Senate. As to those three, as far as I know, Collins wants to get re-elected in 2020 and has to know that she cannot win without Trump supporters, so I don’t see voting for removal until some REAL evidence surfaces. The other 2 - who knows and who cares.
Bring it on m’Fer’s! The war creeps closer.
Not with several million Deplorables camped inside the DC city limits...
Where are the High Crimes and Misdemeanors required for impeachment? Or is this a case where the Dems merely define the crime by what they perceive? If the Dems define golfing as a High Misdemeanor, then they have Trump by the short hairs..
It will NOT go to the House floor. Too many that voted for their party in swing districts won’t buy this and they can’t take a chance it will fail. The Mueller report fizzled; the border thing is getting old; they’ve simply run out of issues to distract people on so this is next. Plus, its a hopeful plea for Barr to neuter his investigation since the various allegations against him didn’t work.
You can’t take anything the RAT party does as an end game. Its simply one fist full of mud after the other. Even if it got to the Senate, there’s no constitutional requirement that it get voted on. It just says he’s removed IF there’s a conviction.
