McConnell Doesn’t Have The Votes To Block Witnesses Yet — But It Sounds Like He Will By Friday

The headlines going around this evening, all to the effect that “McConnell doesn’t have the votes!”, are misleading when you read down into the stories themselves. Republicans sound much calmer and more resolute about ramming through an acquittal verdict without witnesses than they did 24 hours ago, in the first flush of the NYT’s story on Sunday night about Bolton’s book. McConnell doesn’t have the votes yet but as of Tuesday night Collins and Romney remain the only two Republicans willing to say it’s highly likely they’ll vote to call witnesses. Murkowski is interested in hearing from Bolton but won’t go any further than that now. And no one thinks Lamar Alexander’s going to blow up his buddy Mitch’s plans for a quick ending to the trial.

So unfair to Trump. They won't allow him witnesses, which would exonerate him since he's obviously the most innocent man ever.

Just read where 10 Rep Senators in play. If they can get to 5, the rest get cover.
