have already decided that question. Instead, the fate they were deciding was their own.
As they know better than anyone else, the kinds of politicians who populate the Senate don’t have a place in the party they’ve helped create. Sadly, most showed they still aren't ready to begin reclaiming the party from the conspiracists. JustRepublican Sen. Rand Paul's motion that the impeachment proceedings were unconstitutional because Trump's term has finished. At least 17 Republicans will have to join Democrats to reach the two-thirds threshold to convict Trump, a necessary step before a follow-up vote can be held to permanently bar him from federal office.
Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah was the only Republican who voted to remove Trump from office during his first impeachment. The question before the Senate was whether it was OK for a president to blackmail a foreign country into helping him cheat in an election, and whatever their pusillanimous protestations otherwise, every other member of his party voted yes.
THINK If republicans do NOT impeach then I fear for our democracy. Trump consistently incited for his supporters to stop the vote. Trump is on record trying to have republican governor commit voting fraud. He watched on TV the Capitol breach & had to be told to publicly stop it.
THINK Legislators certainly need a moral school.' Simon Bolivar
THINK Senate Republicans are witnesses and jurors in this sham impeachment trial. Most were in the chamber during the insurrection, fleeing to shelter within the Capitol. Some could even be considered co-defendants for stoking baseless claims about election fraud and inciting the riot
THINK Republicans are moving toward being only a party of bat shit crazy conspiracy theorists! Watch out!
THINK All Trump has to do is endorse some mainstreamish candidate that his MAGA base likes and they've got it in the bag. Like former Trump admins like Nikki Haley, for instance.
deanreineke1 THINK unfortunately the mainstream GOP is the RadicalRight
THINK This will never be a one party country nor should it
THINK Vote not guilty and move onto winning the House in 2022. Biden and the Democrats can’t win elections on their policy.
THINK Anytime the liberal media are pushing so hard for something, those standing in opposition must hold strong. Fight back harder than the media are pushing their agenda!
THINK 2 faced pigs
THINK Why isn’t anything being done to charge & remove laurenboebert & mtgreenee ?! By allowing them to remain in office after their treacherous acts, a precedence is being set & everything the US is supposed to represent will be stripped away & will take generations to repair. VP
UROCKlive1 THINK God yes. Please doom that party.
UROCKlive1 THINK The GOP is already doomed. They just neglect to see it.
THINK lisamurkowski SenSusanCollins SenToomey I reached out to each of you & others asking you to ImpeachTrump the 1st time. Had GOP Senators did this Jan 6th would never have happened. You & LeaderMcConnell MUST rally Republicans to ImpeachTrumpNow. JusticeMatters
THINK Author Sarah Longwell and ardent anti -Trumper .NBC bias political partisanship alive and well.
UROCKlive1 THINK Good
hushnowlilbaby THINK Too damn bad. The current gop are just the latest in a long line of Dr Frankensteins who created this monster
SykesCharlie THINK Don’t convict = GOP is toast Convict = short term pain, long term recovery. Democrats, keep the pressure on!
TheMarkPantano THINK Read the Constitution! It says point blank this impeachment is illegal! Enough insanity because if you don't start acting like proper journalists it's NBC that's doomed to lose its audience entirely.
SykesCharlie THINK But does it? I have little confidence in American “conservatives”!
SykesCharlie THINK The only power Trump has now as a private citizen who is under criminal investigation Is his mouth He, his organization is in financial ruins, corporations have pulled back of their political giving to the GOP The longer they continue 2 cower 2 him they will lose voters they need
SykesCharlie THINK Dem party also is doomed if it acquiesces in GOP vote and fails to proceed with a full trial of articles of impeachment. It must lay out all evidence, comprehensively, demonstrating Trump’s guilt, & draw shame upon GOP for approving by silence such obviously traitorous conduct.
SykesCharlie THINK Grand Old Party my ass! They should be called Corrupt Old Party instead!
SykesCharlie THINK This headline is misleading -- the party is not 'doomed' nor does Longwell say it is. It's the Establishment GOP which is going the way of the dodo. Teh Crazy GOP is getting stronger every day.
SykesCharlie THINK they deserve to be doomed
SykesCharlie THINK GOPNewSeditionParty
SykesCharlie THINK Just so...I've got this right... R's are afraid of *rump's frothing, demented mob! Something D's have endured for 5 years! So...they are resolved that permitting the frothing, demented mob to turn their attention to America writ large... cowardice!
THINK This is an excellent article - clear, logical and beautifully articulated 👌🏻
investtoelectil THINK It needs to DOOM them quicker.
THINK Because they’re scared. They have no idea what the Hell to do.
THINK Ashley Moody and the attorney generals office REFUSE to up hold the law, or the Constitution of the state of Florida and allowed 53 attorneys 9 Judges to use the court to commit criminal extortion FREE THE STATES Trump's communism rules Florida SC20-923
THINK We thought McConnell was Repub leader of the Senate. Turns out it's the guy behind the curtain at Mar-a-lag-oz.
THINK So what happens now
THINK The Republican Party today is a living example of the worst traits humans can possess. It’s all on show: Hypocrisy,arrogance, deception, delusion, dishonesty, ego, envy, greed, hatred, immorality, lying, selfishness, unreliability, violence, conceit, anger, cruelty, ignorance...
THINK Why would they not vote for laws are meant to be upheld maybe we need to look at the Republican
THINK maybe because they are morons
