Trump and McConnell on the phone to Republican Senators this weekend?

Trump will twist their minds and McConnell will twist their arms. They will be promised the world. The pressure will be unprecedented.

They desperately need the Republicans to hang together. They either hang together or they will hang separately.

Democrats must continue to tell the American people about the sham trial they are planning, as a cover-up to the charges. Republicans do not want witnesses that can tell the people the facts. They want to continue the crime spree.

Are there any Republicans strong enough to stave off the pressure from the White House and from Leader McConnell? Or will they wither under the pressure?

Democrats must continue to inform the citizens about what Trump and the Republicans are attempting to do.

in the long run will they truly listen to? The polls are not very favorable to rump and the republicans at this point in time, and the show that they all put on during the impeachment voting process by republican House of Representatives members didn't go very far in convincing any voters of their convictions that rump is innocent.

Screaming and yelling, if anything, probably turned off quite a few people. It did me, especially when viewed w/ any so called 'facts' presented by any of the republicans (no facts) to counter what rump criminally did, and even worse, the republicans said that the impeachment process was wrong (based on nothing basically), even though it's clearly written in the Constitution as a remedy to counter the president's illegal actions.
