Trump is just 67 votes away from being an ex-President and it's freaking him out

CNN)Hillary Clinton's nearly 66 million votes in the 2016 election weren't enough to defeat Donald Trump. But just over 0.0001% of that could end Trump's presidency. That's the reality of what Trump faces if he is formally impeached by the House of Representatives later this week, as is expected, prompting a removal trial in the Senate.

In such a trial, the Constitution simply requires two-thirds of the Senate, in this case 67 senators, to vote to convict and remove -- then it's goodbye Trump.

@mystery-ak

Yeah,ALL the Dims need is 67 Republicans to defect and they can impeach him. Yup,I sure can see why he is worried. <S>

Whoever that "Obeidallah" creature is,he is a drama queen.

More fantasy spinning for CNN's target market: delusional lefties. The only bipartisan votes in this whole charade will be those AGAINST impeachment and AGAINST conviction. We don't need much more evidence that the Dim party has been hijacked by the looneys and their media enablers.

Notice the TDS payoff here that Trump is "freaking out." It's classic projection.  Transfer the emotion you know the audience is feeling to the source of the dissonance.  Guaranteed readership and affirmation in the liberal echo chamber.

These people are desperate for Trump to be "freaking out" for the simple reason that they are freaking out at the prospect of having to live with him being president for another five years.

The most famous one that we all are deluged with daily is "Trump is FURIOUS!!"
The fake reason doesn't matter. The propagandist just want to get the words 'Trump is furious' in any article. What they actually write doesn't matter. They don't even know what they are writing or saying. Miscellaneous words of some kind strung together. I have never seen President Trump "Furious" or "Freaking Out" about anything ever. But that is all the fake American Media wants to report. Whether it is 'true' or not does not ever cross their thinking.

Getting "Trump is furious" in a headline is the only goal. The rest is just filler to make it look like a real news report.

It was a real thing for while. Like Miami Vice or Pop Rocks.
Like the second year of President Trump, it seemed like every headline began with
Trump is Furious! about XYZ who cares?
They wore it out so bad that it became a Joke.
What is Trump 'furious' about today? Could be anything. Maybe he stepped on a Lego. Dude is furious!!!
Trump is furious that the McDonalds line is too long...
