So far I count 5 Senate GOP votes for conviction
Romney, Murkowski, Sasse, Toomey (maybe?), Collins (finally!)
Barring Trump turning into Yosemite Sam ("Yose-mite" as he would say) & running out to the front lawn with six-guns a-blazing, where do you think the additional 12 GOP votes needed to convict might come from?
Could there be a bandwagon effect, Mitch be damned?

Does anyone know if someone's been dispatched to
wake up Rip Van Carson @ HUD & Rip Van Ross @ Commerce & tell them they'll be out of a job in 2 weeks?
Given their lethargy (Carson) & advanced age (Ross), I can't imagine that either will be shocked, & of course neither will have to worry about updating their resume or collecting unemployment.
Still, gently rousing them from their 4-year hibernation would be the decent thing to do before the movers arrive.
