This is disgusting...

[Jeebo]

...because every one of these votes is 53-47. These Republicons are corrupt to the core. It's a whole political party of con artists and criminals. I keep thinking of that question that was asked of Sen. McCarthy: "Have you no sense of decency, sir?" We need to start asking that question of EVERY one of those corrupt politicians in the Republicon party.

It should be clear by now: The only way we're going to get that orange con man out of office is by voting him out in November. And I hope our country will survive for that long.

1. I guess Mitt is hoping some miracle will make him the candidate

and he does not want to chase away Trump's base.

Mitt has to comprehend the Russia connection. In 2012 he called out Russia as a great threat to the US.

It does not seem he is willing to defend the Constitution and the country in 2020.

11. Mitt seems to have forgotten that the entire 2012 Republican clown car circus...

...was about "Anybody But Mitt". The Republican base (they were this way long before Trump) hated him even then.

He also forgets that his half-a-fig-leaf tax return disclosure proved Republicans didn't care about that, paving the way for Trump to blow it off entirely.

2. Wow - Finally got a 52-48, just for a change.

Wonder who crossed over.

UPDATE: Cuomo just stated it was Susan Collins who crossed over on this minor amendment regarding response time to motions.

3. Oh my, she is so principled. What a gutsy lady

[BKDem]

7. So courageous!

There must have been something in that amendment that deeply concerned her.

[Wounded Bear]

8. Suzy Collins, our hero!

[BKDem]

9. I, for one, am going to miss her!

[Wounded Bear]

10. I, for one, really hope we get to miss her...

[calimary]

4. Yeah, Ali Velshi and friends brought that up, too.

Pretty much panning the trump team.

12. Mitch: "Sure, Susan, as long as it won't pass anyway you can switch...

...*shrug* It's the cost of doing business. You have to maintain your 'possible swing' status. As long as it doesn't actually cost us anything, why not?"

5. Sham trial acquittal is not vindication

The history books will savage Trump and McConnell's senate.
