The nightmare scenario for frightened Republicans.

Yes, they have the votes to acquit Donald Trump in a Senate trial.

But what happens then?

They witnessed the shock in the Party when Trump tweeted an attack upon an impeachment witness, even at the moment she was testifying!

What might happen once he is acquitted? Nobody knows. It is the unpredictable that scares them the most. A lot can happen in a year.

Will another crime be discovered ? Will another witness appear? What might the Courts rule? There are so many devastatimg events that can happen once they acquit him in the Senate.

The scariest part is that they know something bad will happen. They can paint themselves into a corner very easily.

And have no way out because they used Trump brand paint that will stay sticky and it will forever stick to them.

I just hope they do not take the country down in an effort to protect their criminal in chief.
