Democrat claims Republican senators are ready to ditch Trump if he used aid as 'leverage'
The Washington Examiner ^ | September 25, 2019 | Mike Brest

Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell claimed that she is aware of Senate Republicans who are willing to back impeachment of President Trump if it becomes clear that he tried to use foreign aid as "leverage."

In a July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump discussed both the aid the United States provides to Ukraine, while also requesting he look into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. The transcript of the phone call in question was released by the White House on Wednesday.

In an interview on CNN shortly after, Mucarsel-Powell stated, "I do think, and I have heard from some of my colleagues, that they have been speaking with their senators who are Republican senators, that this definitely changes the calculus for them."

pfft, I'm sure that there are several/many members of the Republican wing of the Uni-Party who are willing (and happy) to stab an American President who supports the Constitution and who opposes the One World Government Global takeover.
The Electorate/Public will need to hold these Swamp creatures to the fire.

The Dimms need 19 GOP Senators to flip for a conviction. I am more likely to be the Super Bowl MVP than that happening. But keep dreaming, Dimms.

Well, Trump’s base doesn’t shive a get if he uses leverage to get his way. He’s trying to make up for decades of US Presidents rolling over in international negotiations. We want him to improve things for the USA.

Because the Democrat Senators would drop Joe Biden like a bad habit due to his $1 billion extortion of Ukraine

So she heard from some people that they had spoken to some other people who said if what they are hearing from yet other people is true, they will definitely change their minds.

Yeah.

If Mitt runs for re-election in 2024, Trump needs to endorse his primary opponent.

“Debby” is a good name for a line of pastries, cupcakes maybe some ice cream sandwiches; some crullers, maybe some bear claws. It’s remarkably unconvincing as the name of a senator or a congressperson.

“”I do think, and I have heard from some of my colleagues, that they have been speaking with their senators who are Republican senators, that this definitely changes the calculus for them.””


this is like the whistleblower... “i didn’t exactly hear it first hand but heard it from someone how heard it who it was told to”...nothing more than an attempt to divide- as the criminal liberal media does daily..

Every Repukes Senator who is up for election in 2020 needs to have a primary challenger pushing them to the right...if we can’t see that we will lose a great President. The Repukes will turn If the people don’t hold them accountable

Democrats have been telling these big lies for the last two years.

We need a new law that says when they lie they have to put a thousand dollars in the liars jar.

We could pay off the national debt with their lies.

They’re running out of Republican traitors. Arlen Specter is dead. John McCain is dead. Jeff Flake is gone. Bob Corker is gone. Johnny Isaacson will be gone. Ben Sasse wants to get reelected. Mitch McConnell wants to get reelected. John Cornyn wants to get reelected. Joni Ernst wants to get reelected.

They’ll have Mitt Romney, Mike Lee, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins (but she wants to get reelected), and Lamar Alexander (retiring). Maybe add Mike Enzi (retiring) and possibly Tim Scott (who likes to virtue signal). I don’t think Rubio would vote to remove.

Not enough. And they know it.

There’s always another election coming.
