If There Are Repug Senators That Are Considering Witnesses - It Should Follow That....

they are also wavering on whether or not to remove or acquit Trump as well. That says to me that the House Managers have done a yeoman's job of laying out the facts and moving them along the reality that Trump should be removed from office.

So we've come this far and minds are changing. Granted there are still a lot of minds to convince. But that says to me that there is hope that perhaps enough minds might be changed and Trump will be removed.

That corner that they are being backed into is getting tighter and tighter by the day.

Most likely they merely don't want to be seen as covering it up with a sham trial unblock Jan 2020 #2

it's hard to say what witnesses will do to the public sentiment.

Hopefully, it'll have some impact. Though I doubt we'll ever get him thrown out, I would love to get 52-54 votes for convict and remove.

Trump would still claim "exoneration" but still, I want him to lose the majority.

They don't work for Trump - - do they? -- so why do they let him push them around?
