Jeff Flake says 'at least 35' Republican senators would privately vote to impeach Trump

Jeff Flake says 'at least 35' Republican senators would privately vote to impeach Trump
By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News

    Former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake made a bold claim on Thursday when he said "at least 35" GOP senators would privately vote for President Trump's impeachment.

Appearing at the 2019 Texas Tribune Festival, Flake, a frequent critic of the president, offered his own reaction and predicted that close to three dozen Republican senators would back impeachment.

"I heard someone say if there were a private vote there would be 30 Republican votes. That's not true," Flake said during a Q&A. "There would be at least 35."

Before or after hearing the charges and having a trial?

It's not true ... Senators are coming out firmly for the President ... promising to be the voice of reason.  The NYT was reduced to running an article on how Mitt Romney is the "lonely" Republican voicing concern.

Schitt read his fictional creation.

Real Republican conservatives called him on it, but not Romney.
Bye-By iden and his mentor Obama, hve probably been plotting with Romney since McCain died.

Derschwitz states there are no legal  grounds.

Isn't that what he is saying though? If it was a "private" vote, they would vote against him.

We know that the senators fear Trump's mouth breather base and will wait for cover before they Julius Caesar him.

If and when that fear dissipates, they will show how much they loathe him.

Between them and the House GOP, they saw to it bloody little happened when they had the majority.

We know they don't give a d@mn what the people think. They've proven that.

They need new jobs. Digging ditches, pumping porta potties, flipping burgers...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Senators don't vote for impeachment. They vote for conviction, which is not going to happen.
