There were at least a couple of dozen Democratic senators who were very critical of Bill Clinton when it came to Lewinsky and they were vocal about it.

How many of them voted to remove Clinton from office after he was impeached? ZERO!

But, the possibility of impeachment is getting closer:

http://www.newsweek.com/trump-just-six-senate-votes-away-impeachment-651857

"Conviction requires two-thirds of the Senate and by my count there are already twelve senators who have shown a willingness to take on the president when they believe he is in the wrong.

If you add that to the forty-eight Democrats in the Senate (who have shown no inclination to work with this President), Donald Trump could be six votes away from conviction in the Senate....

On average, since the Truman Era, a president’s party loses more than 28 House seats in his first midterm election. (In 2018, Democrats need to pick up 24 seats to win back the House.)"


This article was originally published by Brookings - a liberal think tank. What they have done is to name any senator who has been critical of any aspect of Trump's policies or remarks and decided that senator will vote to remove Trump. Totally delusional.

What matters to most politicians is whether their vote will impact their chances of reelection and if these senators moved to remove Trump his supporters would turn on them and they would be history.


They counted Rand Paul who I guess at one point criticized Trump for something nobody remembers. Rand Paul has defended Trump lately on multiple issues.

1. Lisa M.
2. Susan Collins
3. McCain
4. Graham
5. Corker
6. Rand Paul
7. Mike Lee
8. Dean Heller
9. Grassley (this is a huge stretch)
10.
11.
12.


They're all stretches, but maybe add Jerry Moran to that list. Jeff Flake and Mitch M., too, if Trump keeps it up against them. And maybe Roy Moore if he gets elected.

I think the point is that these Rs are not afraid of disagreeing with Trump publicly and voting against him. If Trump keeps on his current trajectory showing how unfit he really is, these guys might be more willing to impeach. That's the point.

Ummm. Way to parse. If not mental instability, what type of stability does Trump lack?

And he is not able to be successful-- at what? Leading our country.



I am not a Trump supporter and sure as hell did not vote for him but you are out of your fricking mind if you think that Corker was talking about Trump's mental stability. For a start, Corker does not have the competence to make such an assessment.

Thank you! A voice of sanity finally. I never realized that liberals could be so idiotic - or maybe it is just wishful thinking - to assume that just because a senator said something critical that would equate to a vote to remove Trump from office.


Saying something critical, and saying someone is too mentally unstable to lead, like Corker did, are very different things.


What Corker said was:

"The president has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence that he needs to be demonstrate in order to be successful,"

Not to lead ...... but to be successful. Tough to argue with that assessment.

He added:

"And we need for him to be successful. Our nation needs for him to be successful. It doesn't matter if you're Republican or Democrat, the world needs for our president to be successful."

True. They are different. But senators know that Pence will be easier to work with and will not be a complete and total clusterfuck.

Pointing out that Corker is up for re-election in 2016, and Trump took TN by 26 points.

Corker also has a high security clearance. He knows something.

Also, all 5 of the Joint Chiefs spoke out after Tuesday. And these are people who move heaven and Earth to be non-partisan and out of the spotlight.

Military has abandoned Trump. Business community just abandoned Trump. GOP Senators are speaking out.

Trump's base may be racist old white men. But let's get real about the GOP's base-- military and the business community are biggies.

ALSO Bannon gave an Apeshit crazy OTR interview.
