Informal GOP Head Count Shows Faint Chance of Senate Convicting Trump on Impeachment

WASHINGTON—An Epoch Times survey of how the 53 Senate Republicans would likely vote today on a motion for an impeachment conviction of President Donald Trump shows virtually no prospect of gaining the required 67 ayes to remove the chief executive from office.

excerpt:
Nine Republican senators have specifically declined to say how they would vote (i.e. “mums”), and it’s difficult to discern from their recent statements or records in office how they might be inclined to come down on such a motion.

There are six Republican senators who appear from their recent published statements to be at least potential aye votes on an impeachment conviction, including Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), and Susan Collins (R-Maine).

Assuming all 47 Democrats (including Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Angus King (I-Maine), who often vote with the Democrats) vote for conviction, supporters of the motion must gain the votes of 20 of the Senate’s 53 Republicans.

Of course it would be Mittens and the usual suspects

Mittley is probably the only one of the six who would vote for conviction on the basis of zero evidence.

I hope they realize they will never hold office again.
