Former Ohio governor John Kasich used a drawing of a triangle with three words — party, public, conscience — to demonstrate what he believes vulnerable senators facing tight reelection bids are having to consider as they prepare for an impeachment trial

Republicans push back against Democratic Senate leader's proposal for impeachment trial witnessesagainst Senator Chuck Schumer's proposal

for four witnesses is starting to take shape, with senior GOP aides making the case that it's not the job of the Senate to do the fact-finding that the House was supposed to do. The argument is expected to go like this: If House Democrats really wanted to speak with Mick Mulvaney, John Bolton and others, then they should have gone to court to secure their testimony.

On Twitter this morning, Sen. John Cornyn made a similar argument, saying that Schumer"should have talked" to Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi about his request for witnesses. "They dropped their demands for this testimony when it became apparent that witnesses were going to seek court guidance on competing demands. Schiff dropped the ball," he said.Ultimately, it will be up to a majority of senators to decide which witnesses they want to hear from. So four GOP senators could break ranks and demand testimony from any number of witnesses during the proceedings.

Idiot.

How has this not been photoshopped yet?

I get a newspaper every day, i watch different news progs (even Fox in small amounts) so when i say how i feel about the state of politics these days, it's pretty messed up and it all falls on one person and his clan.

What is this financial trilemma vibes content?

More evidence these clowns think the people are stupid. Who would have figured?

The only one that matters is Public. We pay them to represent the Public. They are accountable to the people. Make your voices heard! Call your reps! ☎️

Ur such a PROPAGANDA network AND FakeNews

Damn, never thought about it from the perspective of geometrical shapes. Makes ya think 🤔

Forget all that nonsense . Integrity is more important .

Wow! Kasich passed drawing basic shapes in art. His mommy will be so proud.

He held up a sign because he was busy chewing a face full of pancakes.

The party angle can be eliminated if the final vote to remove Trump is a closed ballot. But we know this would not sit well with Trump, plus he enjoy politically torturing those who cross him.

He has become a bigger joke than FAKENEWSCNN

His dad was a postman you know

Triangle? Where has any Republican shown conscience. Other than Romney

That looks like a hat of some kind. No? 🤷🏾‍♀️

~ party has gotten them so much they dream of, no matter the moral cost… why would they stop now?

A triangle diagram is too complicated for Trump supporters to process. Let's make it a bit easier and stick to building blocks and pop-up books. They're not operating on an adult level.

Kasich signals fellow members of the Illuminati.

MaryAliceBisho2 He’s a member of the Koch RW network referred to as “The Family” in Sharlet’s book of same name. Not one GOP member, WH staff, Cabinet is working alone today. This is a highly coordinated internal attack led by the Kochs. The GOP is NOT a political party, but Koch RW Fascists

The sick thing is public reps are thinking their job is bigger than the Country or Constitution. They need to be tared & feathered & run out of town on a rail.

FakeNewsCNN and JohnKasich are feckless idiots The 3 sides of his triangle should say 'Legislative Branch', 'Executive Branch', and 'Judicial Branch', and should be titled 'Constitution'. Then reference Article II, Section 4 and Article VI, Section 2.

Why are republicans trying to overturn the 2018 election? Obviously the American people expelled republicans from the House to move forward with Impeachment

RockingMotown Why does the party matter? Principles matter, national security matters, honesty matters, laws matter, oaths matter, public safety matters, functioning institutions matter, separation of power matters, I like JohnKasich but party does not matter at all right now.

Kasich is irrelevant. There is something untrustworthy about a Republican always on CNN.

Conscience? Dignity? Pride? Honor? Duty? These things mean absolutely nothing to anyone that is still supporting trump at this point. They are bad people. We need to accept that and stop tiptoeing around the issue. They are attacking our country and our values.

THE 3 SIDES ARE WHAT JOHN IS ON.. P C P

BOMBSHELL: REPUBLICANS don't have a conscience starting with Kasich!!

Hi 'CNN!' Don't Do Politic's But Do Like This Guy! He Make's 'Common Sense!' 'AmigoDon!'
