And they seem to have recruited "Yes M'am" Burchett as one of their spokespersons from the heartland.

Former Republican Senator Jeff Flake, who has been in a position to communicate and understand the Republican members of the Senate,said that he was sure that if a vote to remove Trump was taken in private that at least 35 Republican Senators would vote to remove him. With those 35 it would make 82 votes in the Senate for conviction, more than the 67 needed.

Early in the Watergate investigation only 19% of Americans polled said that they supported impeaching Nixon. By the summer of 1974, when the public was given more information, a clear majority supported impeachment and removal. That movement in public opinion convinced the overwhelming majority of Republicans to support Nixon's removal. After this week's revelation of Trump's illegal acts, public opinion's support of impeachment has already gone up significantly. If public polling begins to show more people supporting impeachment the Republicans in the Senate will change their tune.

It would be great if Congress had enough guts to do the right thing and remove the President and allow the courts to convict him for his illegal acts and put him in prison.

If it becomes a foregone conclusion that Trump will be removed, the crook could try to plea bargain with Congress and resign to avoid going to jail. That might not be a terrible compromise for the Republicans. If he resigned before the primary election season maybe some actually qualified Republican candidates could compete in the primaries and both parties could nominate a qualified candidate. That would allow the country to start repairing all the terrible damage Trump has inflicted on our citizens and the world and your stalkers would be American heroes!

Burchett is a huge disappointment for Knoxville area residents. I do not agree with most of his political views but I thought maybe he would have the guts to do the moral thing and stand up for his constituents and criticize Trump's immoral actions. Of course, after all his talk about supporting veterans and then not speaking out against Trump's treatment of American war hero John McCain, we should not be surprised by his gutless actions. He has become a real loser!

Burchett’s use of ‘ma’am’ 12 times in a 6-minute interview seemed to be not just good manners, but an attempt to put Cornish ‘in her place’ as an ‘elite,’ compared to Burchett’s pose as a populist.

yeah, i was pointing out the biden family's "in plain sight" nepotism / conflict of interest / corruption on a previous thread here -- while also pointing out that there's no evidence that the US/international pressure to fire viktor shokin had anything to do with blocking investigations of burisma or hunter biden's position there.

the innuendo that this was the case may to have been invented after-the-fact in ukraine as a deliberate attempt to titilate the current US administration: "ukrainian prosector may have fed giuliani altered information"

The Trump sons (and daughter and SIL) skirt ethics laws further every time Biden's son is mentioned. (link...)
