20. We Dems have nothing to gain by a secret ballot

Wed Feb 10, 2021, 03:59 PM

Feb 2021

The Repukes must vote on the record, just as they did on the first impeachment.

Any Repuke who votes to convict Chump, will most likely lose to a Democratic opponent in their next election. Any Repuke who votes to exonerate Chump will most likely be primaried in their next election. (Some won't care, but if you ask me they're all vulnerable in one way or another.)

The truth is that NO GOP INCUMBENT DESERVES TO BE RE-ELECTED. Not one.
