WASHINGTON—When revelations about President Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine first started dribbling into the public in late September and early October, Republicans were caught off guard.
Some members of the GOP criticized Mr. Trump’s request for Ukraine to open investigations that benefited him politically, while others sought to avoid the topic altogether. As many as 20 House Republicans initially were open to supporting Mr. Trump’s impeachment, according to Rep. Pete King (R., N.Y.), a retiring member from a competitive district who quickly made up his mind that Mr. Trump’s conduct wasn’t impeachable.

Some solace, if it wasn’t for us he would be gone. Mitch and Linda are both up in 20 despite that we have Mitch using stealth to give the rats what they want and Linda is using a BS head fake to invite the rats to call their assassin witnesses.
RE: How Trump Has Kept Solid GOP Support Through Impeachment
How solid are these characters?
Mitt Romney
Susan Collins
Barbara Murkowsky
Rob Porter
( I’m glad Jeff Flake is no longer around ).

Unfair punishment to the obviously innocent only increases their popularity.
Clinton was found guilty of some 11 serious crimes. Trump, none.
What “stealth” weirdness are you talking about?
They dont have 51 votes to control the rules.
Who sent the senators that wont stay firm?
It wasn’t those two.
Have a chat with the “conservatives” in Utah, Alaska, and Maine.
No matter how they slice it, what they are saying is, if you or any member of your family is running for office, you cannot be investigated. Yet, you know they wouldn’t hesitate to investigate any of Donald Trump’s children.
Mitch is the Senate majority leader. Do you think for a moment if you reversed this Schmukie would allow 4 rats to hand the control of the rules to the Republicans?
A: Because Trump did nothing wrong.
Jeez.

Absolutely no recasting required.
Youse guys may be partisan, leftist Hacks if you really think so.

Absolutley correct. This isn’t a farm bill being debated. It is the removal of a GOP POTUS based on a CIA backed hoaxblower op rammed through the Dem House in a disgraceful manner.
It is utterly outrageous that the GOP controlled Senate is not unified in dismissing this garbage. It is a complete failure of GOP senate leadership to whip votes in support of POTUS on this.
I can only conclude that the GOP Senate could not care less that POTUS and his supporters are assaulted by the House Dems and their coupist allies in the executive branch.
The article begins with a faulty premise.
Re: How Trump Has Kept Solid GOP Support Through Impeachment
It was easy.
Trump is the only Republican in America who can win a national election.
Who else would I vote for? Not that it matters, since I live in solid blue Washington state.
Enjoy 2020.
Win or lose, I think Trump will be the last Republican president in American history.
This is an extremely biased article - against the President! Consider just the opening sentence: “When revelations about President Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine first started dribbling into the public..... They WEREN’T “revelations”, they were charges. There has never been any evidence at all that the President “pressured” anyone at all in the Ukraine. This is a baseless charge, leveled by politically motivated Democrats to create a reason for impeachment out of thin air.
The remainder of the article (at least until a quit reading in disgust) continues with equal, but quite subtle, biased, opinionated digs.
somewhat lengthy article, but bottom line: GOP Reps & Senators are terrified of we, Trump’s proletariat supporters, which is as it should be ...
Yup.
