I Keep Saying There's Power In Numbers Here....

The Repugs had an opportunity with the 1st impeachment to rid themselves of Tr**p. They blew it because they let him intimidate them.

Tr**p not learning his lesson gave them an opportunity to correct the error of their ways and gave them the opportunity to again - rid the Repug Party of Tr**p.

Tr**p not having the pedestal that he's had the first time around is weakened.

If the Repugs in the Senate were smart they'd realize that there is 'power in numbers'.

Tr**p can't possibly take them all on and take revenge on all of them. They need to band together and vote to 'convict' Tr**p this time and once and for all rid Tr**p from the Repug Party.

They could crush him this time. Vote to 'convict' and then all of them come out with both barrels blazing and mount a verbal campaign against Tr**p aimed at Tr**p's supporters and all Repugs - that Tr**p is toxic to their Party and that he should be sent into the obscurity of history.

They can do this if they get themselves organized and come together as a Party and rally around the Country versus rallying around Tr**p and the Party.

It’s logical, it makes sense, it’s practical...it’s a Democratic solution not a Republican solution.

But each time, they keep on driving by them. Defies logic unless there is mass bullying, bribery and blackmail.
