Snake Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 In other words, the big picture here is that it seems as though the Senate will move forward with an actual trial—details on a number of fronts on that as of yet to be determined—but that there will be one thing that is clear: If Schiff or the Democrats try anything untoward like they did in the House, the president and the Senate have the option to shut the whole thing down and blow it all up on them. That means Republicans hold the upper hand, and should things get crazy—while there are not currently enough votes to dismiss the trial or outright off the bat acquit Trump—after Democrat partisan gamesmanship there likely would be enough votes to dismiss the whole thing. Bad behavior, in a partisan way, from people such as Schiff and Nadler and other Democrats could drive more Republicans toward the motion to dismiss—the kill switch—if that ever becomes necessary.

Mainecat Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 They could toss him under the bus and let Putz Pence fill in for him until the house impeaches him for the same reason Trump is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Trump is 10x's more popular than Senate Republicans. They know if they remove him they are absolutely done.

Maybe so but Trump's got them more than they have him. They remove him most of them wouldn't get re-elected again. If it wasn't for about 4-5 RINO's this would get dismissed tomorrow.
