The path in the Senate to convict Donald Trump is extremely slim, with a growing number of Republicans expressing confidence that the party will acquit the former President on a charge that he incited the deadly insurrection aimed at stopping President Joe Biden's electoral win.After Democratic leaders announced they would kick off the process to begin the impeachment trial on Monday, Republicans grew sharply critical about the proceedings -- and made clear that they saw virtually no chance that at least 17 Republicans would join with 50 Democrats to convict Trump and also bar him from ever running from office again.

The only words the Democrats and lying media know are insurrection and racism.

So we're supposed to be grateful to these republican traitorous scum who betrayed President Trump and We the People during and after the election coup and willingly handed over our government to radical, bloodthirsty communist death democrats just because they are willing to acquit our legal and lawful President at an illegal, unconstitutional impeachment trial? Oh, thank you wonderful republicans for standing up for what is right. Makes me wish the next rigged election is tomorrow so I can rush out and re-elect you traitors.
Go to Hell.
Free America.

The RINOs exposed their hand. Now they will be handed their discharge papers.

Woke up with their Sunday morning hangovers, looked in the mirrors and realize how confoundingly STUPID they look. Primary the LOT of them. If they are this dumb they should go party at Schumer's house and take selfies.

Keep sending messages to your R congress critter and Senator. They might really get the drift. McConnell works for the Chinese, so that's a waste of time, since his pay is better from the Commies than his Senate pay!

After the people witnessing what Biden has done in less than a week it would be very hard to convict Trump of anything.

They're just trying to save their sixes, but we must hold the line. We are done. They don't get to use US anymore.

Maybe those RINO weenies are finally getting the message from us deplorables to LEAVE TRUMP ALONE!...I don't see how they could impeach him anyway since he is no longer President..Websters: to accuse (a public official) before an appropriate tribunal of misconduct in office....he is no longer a public official, and he didn't engage in any misconduct...

Republicans have the mistaken idea that a few useless crumbs thrown to Trump supporters may keep some of us from abandoning the GOP. Joke's on you folks, the party is already over.

Maybe they're realizing that purging Trump from the Republican party isn't a winning strategy. Trump was the only thing keeping me in. With him gone, there's no reason to stay.

Only the wimpy Republican Senators who crave committing political suicide would vote to convict Trump on a sham charge in an unconstitutional impeachment trial that amounts to a bill of attainder by a Democrat Congress against a Republican private citizen. We are told that Trump has over 75 million Americans who make up 90% of all reliable Republican voters who support him. So that any Republican Senator who passed fourth grade arithmetic should know that even if only half of the Trump supporters in State level Republican primary election voted against him or her, that it would be impossible for him or her to win a Republican nomination for re-election in the future.

Murkwoski is finished if she votes to convict. Romney probably isn't running again. Toomey definitely isn't. Sasse and Collins were just reelected and figure the voters will forget what they do here. They won't.

The Republi-Can't Party is dead to me. I am officially a "conservative independent" now after being a Republican for over 50 years. I will still vote for good conservatives that run as Republicans, but I will donate directly to their campaigns. Never another penny to the GOP!!!
However, if enough Republi-Can'ts actually join the Demon-Rats to convict President Trump on these illegal and unconstitutional charges, the Republi-Can't Party will officially be my enemies (just like the pure evil of the Demon-Rat Party)!!!!!

If they can do this President Trump,why can't they impeach any former President?
How about helping American citizens?
