ZERO chance any of the Bidens will testify. Trump and his team can grumble all they want, but IT WILL NOT HAPPEN!!!
McConnell has no choice if he doesn’t have the votes.
If we didn’t nominate Roy Moore we might have had the votes.
The traitorous wretches in the GOP are going to lose the Senate, too. That’s good.
Can Trump assert executive privilege and make the senate fight him in court? I don’t fully understand executive privilege but assumed it is an extension of the fifth amendment, or whatever equivalent exists between the branches.
I agree and I hope that the margin translates down ticket.
Yes you’re brighter than everyone :)
I wish I was half as sharp as you.
Mitch is the reason so many judges got through.
You pay attention to cartoons maybe but not politics.
His WIFE is how close to Trump?
but you’re not mentioning graham or collins or romney or murkowski..because honest you sound lost.
Either way, the Rs have no spine
Give the 3 or 4 short-sighted idiots the trial (Fight for witness rolls) along with Article III fights all they want and make this trial a bigger farce than it already is as well as making it an election issue because the courts run slllloooowwwwwwwwwwwww...
How is Mitch doing this? Four weak RINOs want witnesses, no matter what. Is he expected beat them with a cat o’ nine tails until they comply?
yet... some may not want to show any decision until after questioning. fingers crossed.
Hey Mitch, you screw President Trump and you won’t have the votes to get elected Dog Catcher. I will never vote Republican again, I will never send in another dime, if they screw him. I don’t think I am alone.
Right. Just like he orchestrated the confirmation of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Merrick Garland. /sarcasm off/
Remember -- the goal for McConnell here isn't just to end this charade, but to end it in a way that makes the DEMOCRATS push for it to end.
For political reasons, McConnell doesn't want anything short of a full trial to end with 0 Democrat votes on their side.
I totally agree! I would like to see the State of the Union at a Trump rally! Whee!!!!
Yup. Let them screw around forever trying to get witnesses while President Trump goes around getting stuff done and holding massive rallies.
So they get Bolton, big deal. A nothing burger.
If he says President Trump wanted investigations before aid then why was the aid given without them?
Catch 22.
Damn — you beat me to it. You’ve got a good understanding of the politics behind this.
I definitely agree with your suggested scenario.
PDJT ought to issue an ultimatum to the Turtle to get the Pubs in line or else!!!
President Trump also should threaten to not campaign for other GOP senators. Let them be hoisted on their own petard!!!
BTW, it would be quite a nightmare, however, to have PDJT be reelected, only to be totally paralyzed and relentlessly harassed by having both houses of Congress in RAT hands.
No more SCOTUS or other judicial confirmations and zero legislation being enacted.
Spinless Pubbie Wuzzies. This is a blatant end run around the Constitution and violation of Civil Rights. Witnesses that DemocRATS didn’t call, because they knew the courts would side with POTUS, will now be called.
Witnesses that no court would have allowed—will now be testifying. The Senate should NOT be doing this. Tell those RATS that if they want witnesses, go back to the house and do it right, if they are so intent on peachmint. spit.
Go to CNn.com, and read there update. It is more acurate the scum Fox.
It looks like we are going to be needed in D.C. for motivational purposes.
With Republicans like Romney, Collins, and Murkawski, who needs Democrats?
