    Everyone knows the impeachment is a joke. The real goal is to gain the simple majority to ban Trump from running for future office.

    Republicans? No RINO's

    RINO's who will be primaried or face a recall vote

    Mitt Romney
    Susan Collins
    Ben Sasse
    Lisa Murkowski
    Patrick Toomey


    Susan Collins has been weak kneed basket cases since the 1990's. For some reason she thinks the voters of Maine desperately need her until Kingdom Come.

    Mitt is so rich, why should he not take a stand? Because he is angry Trump beat him and did not give him a job. And he fears that his bank and lawyers might cancel him if he does not knuckle under.

    Murkowski. Could she win election ever again, if daddy did not give it to her and she did not have incumbency?

    They have to convict to possibly keep him from running, not a simple majority.
