There are enough Rinos in both houses to side with the democrats to achieve a 2/3 majority in both houses. Likewise, there are enough Rino senators to side with the Democrats for impeachment. Trump will be out before summer, followed shortly by Pence.

You do know that it would take 60 votes in the senate to pass such a thing and they only had 51 R senators, so your claim is completely wrong. Don’t you?

“Trump will be out before summer, followed shortly by Pence.”

Utter nonsense.

Your wish does not make it true.

Too late, Mr. President. They’ve already declared that they’ll drop the vote, because there’s no wall. They want Hillary!

And they deserve Hillary.

The nation would completely melt down and the rule of law would be ignored by everyone.

I once thought that that would be the result once it was known that obumber used the doj/fbi/nsa/cia to spy on a presidential campaign. Didn't happen and I doubt it would if Trump were impeached. Sure we would all be pissed, but that would be the extent of it.

McConnell has to suspend the filibuster. Otherwise won’t pass.

Dear outgoing Speak Ryan: not “border security” - you’re funding the wall!

Trump’s calling their bluff and they are folding.


Good for the Donald. So much for Ann Coulters ranting, Druge celebratory Pelosi dance picture. MSM duplicity.

I think the Donald said. Oh by the way paul. Stay behind I want you to see that I know you were involved in the Dossier and I will expose your scrawny, spineless character if need be.

Caphice......

Go Donald. We have your back....

We are close that, already.

D and rinos have proven they only give lip service to rule of law and due process. They rule by force and that never ends well.

I thought conviction in the senate was 3/5 or 60 votes (?)

The Republicans control both houses - a border security bill should have been ready to drop in the hopper on the first day of this session, and passed by both houses within the month!

It is INEXCUSABLE that we don’t already have this - and it is Ryan’s and McConnell’s fault. These 2 need to get off of their asses and actual do something...because Nancy will never do squat.

Right on target!

But the problem is - as has been the case for at least a decade - that too many in the GOP in both the House and the Senate are puppets of big business lobbying groups who finance them. And they've been told by their handlers to support amnesty for illegals and no border walls. Then, too, to get a border wall passed in the Senate, you need some 'Rat votes because of the filibuster rule, one might think.

You need 60 votes in the Senate...and the Dems aren’t going to give them to you.

Kudos to our president. we have a resistance by the political elites of the Dem and GOP parties. This resistance is surreptitious and vile against the populist voters who elected President Trump.

The electorate is not about change , and the message will be sent again by voters. Its coming.

And then what? More deep state machinations? People in the Deep State, many who support the expansionist policies of China are about to be indicted.

Enough is enough.

If he caves on this, Lynch pin issue of his campaign he's through, the country as it has existed since its founding is over, and President Trump knows it.

This is the hill, THE ONE ISSUE you stand on and fight for no matter what the cost, or it's over.
