Bill Kristol: Mitt Romney Has Helped Reassure Pelosi There Is Republican Support For Impeachment in Senate
Posted By Ian Schwartz
On Date September 23, 2019

Bill Kristol excitedly reports the prospect that Sen. Mitt Romney's criticism of President Trump's call with the Ukrainian president may result in House and Senate Republicans supporting impeachment.

"I think this statement by DeLauro is very important," Kristol said of a key Pelosi ally calling for the impeachment of Trump. "That signals to me I think where Nancy Pelosi is going."





"I think Romney has helped reassure maybe Speaker Pelosi that there is the possibility of Republican support. Maybe in the House. Incidentally, maybe in the Senate. If you take Romney's statement seriously, he is not just saying maybe the House should impeach. He is sort of saying maybe as a Senate Republican he would vote to convict. And suddenly if you have a couple more Republicans even sound somewhat like that, the notion that this is a purely partisan maneuver, there will be no Republican in the Senate who will even take it seriously that goes away."

Kristol also lamented that Trump's call with the Ukrainian president didn't take place a year ago while former special counsel Robert Mueller was probing the president's relationship with Russia.

Is Romney that kind of deluded? Or are some R Senators trolling him?
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Probably both.  Hey - it's the only way Romney can get himself in the news.   :silly:

I would expect to see much more of Bill Kristol, Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake and perhaps a guest visitation from the ghost of John McCain on MSNBC during the next few weeks.

Agreed. 

Wonder where McCain's brain transplant recipient has been ...

This comes as no surprise.  I know Limbaugh and others are making light of all of this, but I don't believe Pelosi would have risked her reputation or the chances of the DEMS winning in 2020 if she didn't think impeachment of Trump was a sure bet.

They only need 2/3 of the Senate to vote for impeachment.  Secondly, I don't trust Pence, never have. 
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

  • All deserve a trial if accused
We had 2 straight elections where GOP nominees who were both highly unlikable OR whose authenticity could be challenged, 2008, 2012...a real breakdown and then, 2016 came and really, we had a number of outstanding candidates or at least, highly competent.

Rick in 2012, did say a lot of the right things and he was honest and sincere,  it just wasn't the right circumstances for him losing by such a big margin in 2008.

Mitt's disappointing big time again, I guess, there is a bit of feud with Trump.
