Lindsey predicts a post-impeachment "spirit of compromise" after the Senate gives Trump a pass



The chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee explained that he wants the trial to be quick and that expects nothing to come of it, with the GOP solidly behind fighting impeachment of the president.

During the interview Graham stated, “This thing will come to the Senate, and it will die quickly, and I will do everything I can to make it die quickly.”

“I am trying to give a pretty clear signal I have made up my mind. I’m not trying to pretend to be a fair juror here,” Graham said, adding, “What I see coming, happening today is just a partisan nonsense.”

“Personally I think President Trump will come out of this stronger and the good news is that everybody in politics in America needs to prove to the American public we’re not all completely crazy. So there may be a spirit of compromise coming post-impeachment, born of political necessity, if anything else,” he added.

compromising with each other and others like sPUTIN who are just like them. Any honest/bipartisan compromise is beyond them.

And don't you just love it when a juror announces ahead of the trial that he's not even going to pretend to be fair?

Republicans have acted so honorably and honestly, how could we do otherwise?

I'm certain Senator Graham will do everything he can to bring us together behind President Trump, as we march in lockstep into the abyss of failed nationhood.

Senator by the name of Graham that said the same words after the passage of a Economic Disaster Bill called Grahman-Bliley-Leech. Yah,that's the ticket.

I don't want bipartisanship.

I want the republicans destroyed.

I want all their policies destroyed.

They are the enemy.

Repeat after me, "They are the enemy".
