Alexander was one of a handful of Republicans that Democrats had hoped would side with them to reach a 51-vote majority necessary to call witnesses and subpoena other evidence.

None of them will... That we already knew... And given the degree of imbecility the country is in.. It will end up voting to get him back on the saddle even if he is the absolute idiot we have come to know... Sad case the US

America rejects you.

So disturbing.

Need to poll every Senator. I want to see them say it. No hiding. All of them.

He simply hasn't got the guts & is afraid to be persecuted by Trump's buddies once in retirement.

SenAlexander you are changing your legacy. Please ask for witnesses.
