Do You Think The Congressional Repugs (House & Senate) ......

Last edited Sun Nov 3, 2019, 08:47 PM - Edit history (1)

really would like to be rid of Trump? Deep down inside one would think they really want that albatross off their back. They can't say that or anything bad about him because they know he will retaliate against them (primary them or just speak badly about them and not offer them any support). They're even afraid that he might win in 2020 so they really need to make him feel like he has their support.

In my opinion they will have a chance to dump him with this impeachment - but do you think they have the courage to vote for his impeachment. I've always said - there is power in numbers. If they stick together they can remove him from office.

It's going to be interesting to see what ultimately plays out.

I think most of them are hoping he loses in 2020. That way, they can tell their constituents “I stood with Trump!” and also not have to worry about him anymore.
