Another one who would vote to convict President Trump. Assume the Democrats win the House (impeachment guaranteed) and the Senate (where 67 votes are needed to convict).

Senate makeup would most likely be 53 Democrat-47 Republican. Add Collins, Murkowski, Romney, Graham, McCain gets you to 58. Cruz and Rubio certainly have scores to settle; up to 60.

Not sure I like the odds against conviction.

Not gonna happen.

There are eight Republicans up for re=election this year, and 23 democrats. A number of those democrats up for re-election are located in states carried by Donald Trump. Then, there are the two so-called “independents,” Angus King of Maine and Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

Because of that math, I could not envision a Senate 53 - 47 in favor of the RATS.

The narrative is blunted with a GOP win. It is ground to a halt with a big GOP win. However, it gains unlimited momentum with a GOP loss. And some GOP would vote for removal with a big GOP loss saying “the people” have spoken and want the President gone...with many so-called Trump supporters helping this right along by sitting on their hands and allowing the Left to crawl back into power, piece by piece. It doesn’t have to be that way, but people are asleep at the switch...otherwise, it is not outside the realm of possibility to make substantial gains in the Senate and hold the House at current numbers.
