    Collins of the Democrats is a Yes. Murkowski and Romney has not said anything yet, but, considering they are RINOs, they probably, will vote for more witnesses. I hope the remaining Republicans have the courage to stand for what is right and all vote No. End this useless charade that has wasted probably, close to $50 million by now.

    Dems need 4 Republicans, they have 2.

    Murkowski would make 3 so Alexander's vote leaves them short.

    Uh...maybe. I was just ignoring that possibility for analysis purposes.

  5. I dunno. There dem defectors such as Manchin and Doug Jones who dast not vote for conviction but I suspect that they would vote for witnesses just to appease their dem constituents and to show that they only allegedly reached their difficult decision after hearing from witnesses. I wouldnt be surprised if the dems all hung together on just the witness piece.

    That is what I was thinking. I figure Dems will stick together on witnesses but Manchin might be in play for acquittal.

    2nd tape shows Trump meeting with congressman and Giuliani associates Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman
    This is the second private video with Trump released in the past week.

    But the tape, provided to ABC News by a lawyer for Parnas, is the second video to surface in the past week showing both Parnas and Fruman meeting with Trump in early 2018. The latest tape was apparently recorded on April 20, 2018 – at a Republican-sponsored meet-and-greet ten days before the meeting captured on video made public last week.

  8. You will get quite a few dems who will vote to convict on one charge but not the other one too.

    Doesnt really matter though. They can't reach 2/3rds to convict on either charge. Its the damn motions - such as witnesses- that only require 51 votes where the dem hold some power.

    Sinema might also, be a swing vote for acquittal. If one Democrat will atleast, flip, it becomes harder for the Democrats to win the vote for more witnesses. Have been twitting Manchin because he keeps saying he is opened minded and for the truth. Asking him why he continues to support the kangaroo court House hearings and their impeachment articles, including, denying President Donald Trump his rights. Don't know if his conscience will make him do the right thing or remain loyal to the Democrat Party. Gave it a shot though.
