but he will not allow a vote on rather to acquit or convict until after the election.

Survival, profit, whatever he can get.

I think that his recent statements were hedging his bets. He'd throw Trump under the bus to save himself, no question about it.

He believes he can appease frump. Didn't work with Hitler, either. Apparently, mcturtle has never dealt with a narcissistic toddler, before.

Maybe a 'deal' where his crooked-ass wife isn't investigated?



Because both of them are as clean as mud.

...Mitch may decide to return the favor, with interest. As long as Mitch keeps his own job.

If Trump is removed from office, the Republican electorate will splinter. So much so that we could actually take the Senate, which is highly unlikely as things currently stand.

If Trump is removed, 2020 will be a Democratic landslide.

Or even at some point during the trial or directly afterwords, and they could dispose of the House’s articles before voting on the question of conviction or aquital.

Dems must compile a mountain of hard evidence. Getting that server would be huge.

And Dems can't allow stonewalling or a flat refusal to appear. Hold people in contempt, have them arrested, whatever it takes.

He's evil, anti-Constitution and wants Republican power maintained.

One, Trump maintains his base, and the base keeps the GOP Senators in line, and Trump is "vindicated". Or, Trump loses his base, and someone other than Trump is the GOP standard bearer in 2020, and the Turtle doesn't have Trump and his erratic behavior to deal with anymore.

He figures he's a shoo-in for re-election, he's mostly interested in holding on to his Senate majority. Even with a Democratic President, he's still got a lot of power if he can do that.
