Trump Is Just 6 Votes Away From Impeachment
"At some point in 2019 (if not sooner) a Republican Senator may walk into the Oval Office and say to President Trump: "Mr. President, we don't have the votes," at which point the Trump presidency will end in a resignation or a conviction in the Senate.
This scenario actually occurred forty-three years ago this summer when Republican Senator Barry Goldwater walked into the Oval Office and told Republican President Richard Nixon that they didn't have the votes in the Senate to save his presidency.
Following impeachment in the House, a trial takes place in the Senate. Conviction requires two-thirds of the Senate and by my count there are already twelve senators who have shown a willingness to take on the president when they believe he is in the wrong.
If you add that to the forty-eight Democrats in the Senate (who have shown no inclination to work with this President), Donald Trump could be six votes away from conviction in the Senate."

FYI This article is 2 years old. Some of the seats have changed since this was written. I have searched a bit and I am not finding what I am looking for.
I would like to identify potential Senate votes for conviction. Shall we take some wild guesses? Well, we could probably make some educated ones, anyway.
Let's devote this thread to learning about just where the loyalties lie for those 53 Republican Senators, shall we? Party or Country. Who might actually vote to convict, and who can we say no way never would vote to convict no matter what. Let's divide them up, stick em in columns.
I wonder how close we can come to guessing properly?

Obviously your looking like a partisan twat.
Never going to happen. The Party of the Jackass will not disenfranchise 59 million voters because they are mad they lost an election.

Lindsey was hating Trump before he won. He turned on a dime when he lucked into office. He would do it again if Trump was getting booted out. Trump knows he cannot trust a guy who spins so easily.

Wow. You think Lindsey might convict? Well, he has flipped before. He did strongly oppose Trump during the campaign. OK, Let's take him out of the no column.
We need a maybe column, too.
So now we have:
NO:
Scott
YES:
Romney
Burr
Collins
Lee
Cruz
Murkowski
McSally
MAYBE:
Graham
Shelby

Let's go Brandon!
Trump doesn't care if the vote to impeach. The resultant trial in the Senate will expose the Deep State players, and then he wins.
I don't see a scenario where the 'rats win on this. They obviously never thought it through.
Maybe Trump set it all up for them to destroy themselves this way.

Un fucking believable! We just went through 2 years of investigating this asshole for colluding with a foreign power to help himself get elected with no proof he didn't. Now he asks another foreign power if he would do him a favor and manufacture an investigation into the guy he may well be running against now. If that isn't colluding with a foreign power to help yourself win an election what the fuck is? But before he makes the call he holds up that 400 million in aid they need to fight the Russians? Just get in touch with my personal attorney? The whistleblower who is dead on accurate to the text of the call but he is a spy or traitor and should be dealt like we used to? We executed them. It is downright comical how the trump supporter can still sit there and speak as though this corrupt shithead has done nothing wrong.This isn't Watergate.
