19. Come on, the GOP
Wed Nov 13, 2019, 08:23 PM
Nov 2019

Senators want this to last long enough so that they don’t have to worry about facing a Trump supported primary opponent - because of how they vote.

Now Trumpie needs to have the impeachment removal vote before the GOP primaries - so that he can ensure his GOP dogs due their duty to their insane master.

And thinking about it, the GOP doesn’t care about the Democratic candidates for president because they have probably figured that Trump probably won’t be re-elected. The White GOP females that put his sick ass in office - probably have had enough. And once the SCOTUS decides the Dreamers have to go back to their birth country that will piss off another group of Americans that can vote.

If the Impeachment trial last long enough and damages Trump (hopefully enough Americans understand how important our Constitution is and protecting the Republic) then it will be hard for the GOP to vote not to remove the insane emperor.

The GOP is only concerned with protecting their political asses, they give less than a damn about the nation.

And I have reached the point that I give less than a damn about his cult followers.
