How far are Republicans willing to go to protect their Dear Leader ?

How much farther can they go?

Mitch McConnell, the Majority Leader of the Senate, immediately came forth to announce that he was working hand-in-hand with the White House during this impeachment trial. Is this alright with anybody, anywhere?

Then he accuses Schumer of presenting a witness list in public without notifying him. It would have been better if Schumer had presented the list to the Majority Leader, as he was exiting FOX News studio.

As we speak, the Republican House is using parliamentary maneuvers to delay and obstruct the House from doing its job. How far are they willing to go?

They truly believe that Donald Trump is going to be a winning ticket in their districts in the next election, otherwise, they would not be hanging to his coattails so tightly.

However, a lot can happen in a year, and the voters might surprise them? That would be the end of the story. That would be as far as they go.

1. they can only delay for a while. The real issue is to prevent ANY trial.

So its all delaying tactics. Then McConnel will do a series of votes to prevent a trial and if failing that, hold a sham trial. Hopefully the Democrats will be prepared to create the clown show the GOP is doing in the House back at the GOP

Like I said, the least worse case for GOP is NO trial, followed by sham trial. McConnel/GOP calculating this route encourages their base while discounting the ever building anger of the other 55-60% of americans.

I want McConnel/GOP to continue to think this way

2. I don't think McConnell is helping the Republicans.

They need more than just Trump voters to win. If Trump had not totally dissed Democrats in his war of division, he probably could have escaped impeachment?
