Republican Susan Collins, key swing-vote senator, announces she will vote to acquit Trump

Has Romney announced if he is going to vote against acquittal yet?

Republican Susan Collins, key swing-vote senator, announces she will vote to acquit Trump

Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins, a key swing vote in President Trump's impeachment trial, announced Tuesday she would vote to acquit on both articles of impeachment -- noting that Democrats' "abuse of power" charge "did not even attempt" to allege that Trump had committed a crime, and instead constituted a "difficult-to-define, non-criminal act."

Even as she criticized Trump's behavior as "flawed," Collins further slammed House Democrats for delaying transmitting the articles of impeachment to the Senate for more than a month, saying the stalling and posturing undercut their arguments that the president was an imminent threat.

Last week, along with Utah GOP Sen. Mitt Romney, Collins had broken ranks with her fellow Republicans to vote in favor of additional witnesses in the Senate trial. Trump, who is now set to be overwhelmingly acquitted by the Senate on Wednesday, will deliver the annual State of the Union address before Congress Tuesday night amid record-high approval ratings...........

Mitt Romney Is Democrats' Last Hope for a Bipartisan Vote to Convict Trump in Impeachment

Quote
On Tuesday afternoon, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) announced that she would vote against convicting President Donald Trump in the impeachment trial. She became the third of four centrist Republicans who could be expected to defect from the party and support the impeachment of the president. Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) have announced that they will vote to acquit Trump. That leaves only Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) as the only hope for Democrats to get a bipartisan vote to convict.

I believe this also means that a majority of the Senate will vote to retain Trump in the Presidency. IOW not merely a failure to get 2/3 to vote to remove.

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

He would be an absolute fool now to vote to remove him.

She votes to acquit but still calls Trumps call problematic.  Also indicating that other Senators thought so also.

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=susan+collins+fox+interview&&view=detail&mid=0E48291D91A35835C2640E48291D91A35835C264&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dsusan%2Bcollins%2Bfox%2Binterview%26FORM%3DHDRSC3

So, only the Rats (and the newly minted Rat Romney) thought it was problematic enough to remove him.  Fascinating.

Better luck next time.  Maybe your friends can convince people Trump, his family and supporters should be destroyed.

Just making a point that not all those Senators who voted to acquit thought he had a perfect call.  And Trump can whine and cry that he's been put through hell, but Americans will never really know what Giuliani, Parnas and Igor were up to.

Just like Susan Collins said.  I agree that all we can hope for is that Trump learned something from this.

Your case might have been stronger, had the Democrats not set the goal of Impeachment years before the phone call.  People who are predisposed to hate Trump are still willing to kick him out of office and reset DeeCee politics to "normal."  And I'm not convinced anybody would have thought there was anything wrong with his actions, had O'Bastard done it. 

The Impeachment was purely political and had little to do with Ukraine, which was only the pretext.  I have no doubt the Rat leaders thought this was great, and are no doubt working on Article III as we speak.  Just another tactic in the Rat toolbox that they will used until they get punished for it

Its not my case.  It is my opinion.  You don't have to agree with it.  But what you wrote shows that you are simply ignoring what you would believe if it wasn't for the democrats shows its just partisan politics.  Us against them and damned if we don't support Trump in every wrong thing he does just to avoid being one of them.
