The Senate always turns over much more slowly than the House because only 1/3 is up for re-election each year and it takes a hell of a lot more resources to mount a Senate campaign to defeat an incumbant running for re-election than a House one.
Also, the Republican category in this graph posted above by duped sammy strongly suggests that Republican voters aren’t even close to abandoning Trump despite the doubling of those for impeachment since this Ukraine hullabaloo broke this week.
P.S. Personally, I’d like to see Trump impeached, then convicted by the Senate, then not given any kind of pardon by Pence, and also lose his presidential pension in the process. But I don’t think the Repub Senate will turn against him. Yet.
U.S. to send missile defense devices, 200 troops to aid Saudi Arabia - (reported 6 hours ago)
It’s how it always starts - in the old days they used to be called advisors. They used to be CIA.
However, nothing like a military conflict to make a President the Commander in Chief
Which is to say, a quick escalation would be ideal for Trump
This is all very standard game play but it has to be said.
Maybe everyone will fry.
IMPEACH TRUMP !!!!LETS GET THIS PROCESS STARTED..HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS THEN......
By: Hyram F. Suddfluffel, PhD, (Political Science)
I have a degree in Political Science, and I am a card-carrying Libertarian. I've been studying politics and political history for the past 30 years. My specialty is U.S. Presidents. That said, I hope that the House of
Representatives impeaches Trump. Let me tell you what will happen next!
1. The House can pass articles of impeachment over the objections of the
Republicans, and refer to the Senate for trial.
2. The Senate will conduct a trial. There will be a vote, and the Republicans will vote unanimously, along with a small number of Democrats, to not convict the President. Legally, it will all be over at that point.
3. However, during the trial, and this is what no one is thinking about right now, the President's attorneys will have the right to subpoena and question ANYONE THEY WANT.. That is different than the special counsel
investigation, which was very one-sided. So, during the impeachment trial, we will be hearing testimony from James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr, Glenn Simpson, Donna Brazile, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch,
Christopher Steele, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper, and a whole host of other participants in this whole sordid affair and the ensuing cover up activities.
A lot of dirt will be dug up; a lot of truth will be unveiled. Finger pointing will occur. Deals will start being made, and suddenly, a lot of democrats will start being charged and going to prison.
All this, because, remember, the President's team will now, for the first time, have the RIGHT to question all of these people under oath – and they will turn on each other. That is already starting.
4. Lastly, one more thing will happen, the Senate will not convict the President. Nothing will happen to Trump. Most Americans are clueless about political processes, the law, and the Constitution. Most Americans believe
that being impeached results in removal from office. They don't understand that phase 2 is a trial in and by the Senate, where he has zero chance of conviction. Remember, the Senate is controlled by Republicans; they will
determine what testimony is allowed -- and **everything** will be allowed, including: DNC collusion with the Clinton campaign to fix the election in favor of Hillary, the creation of the Trump dossier, the cover up and
destruction of emails that very likely included incriminating information.
They will incriminate each other for lying to the FISA court, for spying and wiretapping the Trump campaign, and for colluding with foreign political actors, especially George Soros. After the Senate declines to convict the
President, we will have an election, and Trump will win. It will be a backlash against democrat petulance, temper tantrums, hypocrisy and dishonesty. Even minorities will vote for Trump, because, for the first time, they will see that democrats have spent 2+ years focused on maintaining their own power, and not doing anything at all about black murders in Chicago, homelessness, opioids, and other important issues that are actually killing people. And, we will spend the following four years listening to politicians and pundits claim that the whole impeachment was rigged.
So let's move on to impeachment.

Regardless of the outcome or the outcome of the election the new media beast will need to be fed. You don’t expect Crowder etc to study dentistry or become civil engineers
We have reached our final descent. or decent

traitor is a snowflake of the highest order. how's that draining of the swamp coming along? most laughable prez ever.
Israel is not going to allow Trump to lose re-election (let alone be booted from office).
Sorry goys.
i feel like we are tapdancing around the fact that trump thinks he did nothing wrong and if this goes unchecked, not only is he going to continue doing it, but its going to set a precedent for future president's behavior.

the white house is now admitting that the transcripts were moved to the codeword network but are blaming national security lawyers for insisting on it.
im not sure but i think that now puts the natsec lawyers in scope for the investigation, and what they have to say is going to be Fucking Interesting.

note that in exactly zero ways is rubio making an effort to run damage control or minimizing the potential outcome of this shit.
also note that fox news is very much following paul ryan's lead and describing trump not as a clown but as the whole fucking circus, with the exception of tucker carlson who is, incredibly, getting styled on by his own co-anchors.
