Senate Majority Leader McConnell says there is “no chance” that President Trump would be removed from office in any impeachment trial.

“My hope is that there won't be a single Republican who votes for either of these articles of impeachment, and Sean, it wouldn't surprise me if we got one or two Democrats,” McConnell continued.

The House is expected to hold the full impeachment vote next week, just days before Congress members plan to head back to their districts for the holiday recess. TheWhile the Democratic-controlled House is likely to vote to impeach the president, it is up to the Senate to conduct a trial and vote to actually remove Trump from office.

The Senate requires a two-thirds majority to convict, or 67 votes. The GOP holds a 53-47 advantage, but that would still require 20 Republicans to break from the president, assuming that every Democrat votes to convict Trump — though, as McConnell suggested, that assumption is not a given.

Failed democracy. A predetermined outcome despite validated wrongdoing and a unapologetic President unlikely to change his behavior.

😂 impossible for human it’s possible for God!!! Your minds and souls are monitored by Higher Intelligence that your minds comprehension... watch how stories unfold 😂

If he isn't then there a fairly good chance that some of you that are up for re-election will not be reelected.

That's the truth from an IMPARTIAL JUROR. The Senate trial is the real Kangaroo Court. Sham trial.

Coward

Because the GOP doesn't care about the constitution.

Not with you guys.

If Trump wanted Putin to take his place the GOP wouldn't go against Trump. Their traitors to the people of this country for their own personal benefit. The evidence is over whelming against Trump for corruption. The senate must be changed to patriots not Benedict Arnold's.

I hope president Trump is re-elected for another four years, gets off scott free on the Senate impeachment. It serves Americans right. - No term limits - Only 1/4 of eligible population votes - Laws passed to favor the weathly Suffer poor people. Keep working.

For a 75-pound talking prune, Mitch got hisself some brass balls, don’t he?

Democrats don't support it either

Now trump and his ilk only need to put cases before the court to find out if he has corrupted all three branches of goverment.

There’s a huge chance that soon MoscowMitch will be only a bad dream. VoteHimOut

SCOTUSblog Scotus

We can only pray he does get removed.

Is this an example of how the republicans will govern going forward - their will be done no matter how or what it takes? And their will includes the assault and pillaging of America and the constitution that it’s based on.

He’s correct. You need 2 thirds. But there’s a good chance McConnell can lose reelection. Kentucky voters change is in your hands. Time to move out this old man whose time has passed him by

People put him there, and the people is gonna suffer with him there. When recession hits, the ones pushing against the law, are going to cry hard. All you have to do is vote blue no matter who, that’s how you r going to evict them all with class. And 2020 is going to be our last

Uh...duh. The game is rigged. But if Agent Orange takes a couple of bruises here and there, I’m good with it.

He needs to recuse along with Graham. Both have broken the rules and are unable to be impartial jurors

Just like Putin, Moscow Mitch McConnell senatemajldr delivered the verdict before the start of the trial

I thought it was their job to listen to the evidence and make an educated ruling in the matter. I didn’t realize they are actually supposed to make up their minds before the evidence is heard. Man, what an easy job. People can do that job without any semblance of credibility!

Well i am calling the 2020 election an impeachment trial and i bet he will be out of office when thats over. Also we need to check all those electronic voting machines just to be safe.

Please remove McCoward and his buttlicking Lemmings from any job, put them on an island and build a damn high wall around it. They are boring ...

Moscow Mitch has gotten his marching orders from Putin.

Correct! This is not news. Meanwhile,why was MSNBC complicit in the Russian hoax and why arent you being honest about impeachment & IG report? You covered for Lauer, Weinstein, Epstein, Hillary & Schiff. Maybe its time for real reporting.

It’s almost like him and LeningradLindsey are trying to Publicly convince themselves and message to their GOP colleagues out of fear that maybe, just maybe, they might not have the votes..

The GOP headed by senatemajldr are leading this country into becoming a dictatorship. They are undoing all the safeguards that the constitution had to offer. These steps are irreversible.

....MOSCOWMITCH IS FOLLOWING ORDER FROM THE R E A L C H I E F VLADIMIR PUTIN

Facts

And for that every senator who fraudulently takes the oath should be charged, convicted, and imprisoned.

the battle of the anti-christ on celtic-murica

Moscow Mitch would stand by his statement even if Trump killed somebody. I hope selling your country out is worth the money you are getting from Russia.

MoscowMitch

The only way the Republicans will win a majority in the next election is if they sacrifice Trump now, and base their re-election campaign entirely on how a Democratic witch-hunt resulted in the greatest president of all time being unfairly removed from office. Come on, try it!

MoscowMitchTraitor should also be removed from office.

Wait.....is all of this a foolish waste of time then?

Why are so many otherwise patriotic americans be so dedicated to Putin's agenda?

Cue the left-wing meltdown in 3... 2... 1...

RiggedSenate

MoscowMitch

Peoples are freaking out about being impartial now. Well it’s a little late in game for that.

There's no chance senatemajldr will win the next election. Simply because he can't tell the American people how he will protect our future elections from foreign interference. He actually does not even care.

😀😁😂

sherin78 Cause it won’t happen

That sounds like an open mind to me

he deserves every second of hate impeachment and karma. trump 2020...lol

The Dems do not want Trump to succeed because they hate him more than they love our country. However ! ! ! ! The indoctrinated TDS patient's are starting to become woke and we are going to see something even more amazing than this best economy of our lives. TrumpLandslide2020

MoscowMitchMcConnell Typical.

Vote this sick people out please and hurry

washingtonpost USATODAY nytimes CNN FoxNews

What a political sham! Total waste of time and money. All this nonsense did is make haters hate more, and rally the Trump supporters and swing some moderates who saw through this.

Republicans must pay a huge price for this ....

Is McConnell compromised because of his wife?

That is fine you say that now. More information and public sentiment is sure to have an impact. And if you stifle a proper and fair trial based on evidence, you and other R Senators and even the Chief Justice will live in infamy by letting down the Republic and Constitution.
