And they never were. But the very premise here reveals where all the pundits and commentators went wrong. The only thing that could move GOP votes is if GOP voters moved. And they're still at 90% for Trump and against impeachment. And in the end, that's all that matters.https://twitter.com/EliStokols/status/1197607888589598721 …

None. But they never had a chance with Senate Republicans. They were never going to vote to convict Trump. The writing's been on the wall for weeks. But the fantasists and dreamers preferred to paint over it rather than read it.https://twitter.com/brithume/status/1197679369835229185 …

Varad Mehta Retweeted Bret Baier
Twenty was never in the cards. The only question was whether Democrats would get enough GOP senators to give removal a majority. And right now that's a big fat no.https://twitter.com/BretBaier/status/1197628940573167617 …

It's mind-boggling how many supposed experts suddenly have no clue what politics is or how it works.https://twitter.com/ElectProject/status/1197519199783944192 …

Michael McDonaldVerified account @ElectProjectReplying to @geoffreyvsRepublicans will dump Trump If they can be convinced they will be better off without him weighing down the party among independents in 2020 vs. the benefit they get for energizing their base with him around. Losses in KY and LA Gov. races are compelling arguments to dump him3 replies 3 retweets 16 likesShow this thread -

Not at all mind-boggling how many people are invested in extreme partisanship that they cannot envision a way out

GOP support for Trump and opposition to impeachment are both around 90 percent in the last dozen or so major polls. When those numbers change, we can talk about Republicans on the Hill looking for a way out. Until then, it's all a lot of sound and fury.

Replying to @varadmehta @baseballcrank
Yeah, that is exactly what I said. Unless Republicans can be convinced there is a cost to supporting Trump, they will continue to do so. There is real evidence that he is costing the Republican Party in elections. Stating the facts is a start to opening eyes
