The only thing they can do now is flood the media with information about his crimes. Like it or not the country has a hard on for any Trump news, so the only real play here is to give it to them and control the narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I'm actually quite surprised. Mitt's history has been one of (carefully) saying that he didn't like things Trump did, but then never doing anything about it. I figured this would be more of the same. Good on you, sir.

LadySkinsFan Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 He didn't follow through to vote to convict the second article. He knows we wouldn't even be at this phase of Constitutional impeachment if the House had gone through the courts with subpoena process. Trump himself in public called on Ukraine to investigate Bidens as well as China. That's enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llevron Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Its actually kind of scary to see Trump Jr. say that Roomny is now part of the resistance and should be removed from the GOP. Hes basically publicly decrying him as the enemy because he doesn't fall in line. Thats the Presidents son. He has no official power. But because his origin is from some scary orange flesh balloon he can effectively turn a portion of the country against this man just because he wants to. And thats not supposed to happen here!! The fact that is is and its expected (cause who didnt expect that) is frightening to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having even one defection against him is going to irk him to no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 So now the vote to convict the President was a bipartisan effort. I hope that sticks in Trump's craw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come join us in our mission" to "GET RID OF HIM!" Dems shouldn't take a victory lap on this. They will because they are dumb. But they should just be focusing on Collins and Lisa and the others who fake being independently minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The GOP continue to talk themselves into circles on this. A year ago they were probably all confident that most of this information would never come out, or at least not in a timely enough fashion for it to matter for the 2020 election, so it was just a straight up denial of the wrong-doing. As info has come out, witness after witness collaborating said information, it became clear that Trump did it. Then you slowly saw the shift in defense. (I will spare everyone of going through every step of the shift). Fast forward to present day and it seems like most of the Senate is acknowledging he did it, but have decided it isn't worth removing him from office over or really handing out any consequences for at all. It would have been nice at same point, to hear an actual defense of Trump's actions. I was actually holding out hope we would get Senators acknowledging he did it, but explaining why it was okay, and I am not talking about Dershowitz's "mixed motive" nonsense defense either. The fact that we never heard an explanation of why this okay for him to do would seemingly suggest it still isn't okay to do, and any future President would be in trouble for doing the same thing........if his/her party is not in the majority.
