Anyone still holding out hope that some (or any) GOP Senators will vote to convict...

36. I think this is not correct

Before the tapes, Rs were sticking right behind Nixon. When the tapes came out, public opinion moved quickly against Nixon and the GOP senators followed.

Americans might not have been paying all that much attention to all the hearings or reading the evidence or even watching tonight's vote, but once there's an actual trial, that's all that will be on TV. Americans love themselves a good trial. They will be tuned in en masse. This is where getting witnesses and documents makes a difference. There won't be the same histrionics as in the House committee hearings and debates. The Senators have to sit at their desks in silence, just like a real jury.

Keep in mind, most Americans can relate to a jury trial since most of us have had some personal interaction with this process either as jurors or being called for jury duty. Everyone knows how you are to keep an open mind and evaluate guilt/innocence based on the evidence presented.

The cultists are going to stick with Trump, just like 1/4 of Americans stuck with Nixon and believed he was set up and not guilty of anything.
