How Senate Could Convict Drumpf With 58 Yes Votes

[sfstaxprep]

If 13 repubs do not attend the vote, it would take 8 repubs voting with All Democrats, in order to reach 2/3rds.

If 14 repubs don't attend, it takes 7 voting Yes.

The median would be 10 not attending, and 10 voting yes. 60 Yes out of 90 is exactly 2/3rds.

This would actually take more than the 17 that everyone is saying are needed. It would essentially take 20. But it would also allow 7-15 to skip the vote, and not have to actually vote to convict.

IMO, this is the option with a possibility of happening. You might get 7-10 "on the record" votes for conviction, but it's the other 7-10 which might be a challenge. Unless they stay home.

2. I can't think of any Republicans that wouldn't show up

It’s a fantasy to think that’s going to happen

3. McConnell will whip the votes to aquit.

As much as he wants to neuter the twice-impeached former President, he does not want Patriot Party to split the conservative vote for 2023. He will milk the hate until the mid-terms, THEN try to take out the monster.

5. Then He's Essentially Abdicating Substantial Control Of Party To Drumpf & His Minions

Drumpf will suck a lot of oxygen out of the "party's" room if he's still viable for 2024.

6. Kick out Cruz and Hawley, and we reduce it by one.....

..an added benefit of expelling traitors.
