Title: Republican Senators start to turn on Trump
Post by longweekend58 on Sep 26^th, 2019 at 10:36am

Senator Sasse (R-NE) after reading the whistleblower complaint:

"...Republicans ought not to be rushing to circle the wagons to say there’s no there there when there’s obviously lots that’s very troubling there..."

On whether Senators would vote for impeachment,
Andrea Mitchell (respected journalist)
says, "One Republican senator told me if it was a secret vote, 30 Republican senators would vote to impeach Trump."

the end draws nigh...

It isn't a secret vote so I doubt they will turn on him as things stand now ...

probably not, but if the private sentiment is that they hate and despise him, the distance from there to PUBLIC denouncement isnt that far.

It only takes one or two to stand up and say they will vote against him and the flood will commence.

if it is anyone, it will be him, but he is hardly doing a great job so far.
