President Donald Trump has stepped up his attacks on Republican senators, an approach he may regret if he is someday impeached and the Senate has to weigh charges against him stemming from an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.

More than half of the 11 Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which would be central to any proceeding to remove Trump from office, have tangled with the Republican president, including on Thursday when he fired off early-morning tweets.

There is little serious talk being heard in Congress about removing Trump from office.

If these GOP senators imagine they could do this with no consequences, they are delusional.

That’s right! Those fighting Trump are fighting the will of the American people.

It’s sad that we have to wait until November 2018 to show what we think of the idea.

Reminds me of what John Adams to his fellow delegates: during the Reformation, the Catholics had the Pope as well as the Kings and Emperors on their side, and those poor devils the Protestants, they had nothing on their side but God Almighty.

Trump has the people behind him, and God help those that go against him!

They are counting on your waiting.

Elections aren’t going to solve this problem.

The author of this article is kidding right???

(President Donald Trump has stepped up his attacks on Republican senators, an approach he may regret if he is someday impeached and the Senate has to weigh charges against him stemming from an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.)

First of all there will be NO IMPEACHMENT, second of all, what Republicans Senators is the author talking about? There isn’t any one that is supporting Our President except the 65 + millions of American Voters that is STILL SUPPORTING HIM!!!

AND I might add: THE LIST IS GROWING!!!

I think we can safely say that ‘snowflakes’ and ‘brains’ do not blend well these days!!!

Friendless? President Trump has at least 62 million who are loyal to him. Congress can go to hades.

Who do the GOP senators think are going to vote for them? It sure isn’t going to be a democrat. They keep forgetting that Trump has a heck of a lot more support in this country than they do. They need to stop listening to the lying Fake News polls.

There is a great PRO-Trump march scheduled for Washington, I believe on 16 September.

Yes! Other than all of us who voted for him, he doesn't have any friends.

Furthermore, with those swamp creatures you wouldn't want as friends anyway.
