This is really, really, really bad news for President Trump. 7 GOP senators + Joe Manchin declined to sign Graham's resolution condemning the impeachment inquiry foxnews.com/media/sen-lind…
Seriously, I dont know what Graham was thinking. Never mind that he couldn't get 1 Democrat; he couldn't even get to 100% of Republicans. Wait a minute ...
... is it possible that this resolution was Graham's way of alerting Trump that he's in trouble - while himself of course avowing 110% loyalty?
If Senate were to vote 54-46 for removal, then yes Trump stays on job - but wow will he be disgraced and damaged. And of course if count is 54-46, goodbye to any hope of wrapping up the proceedings in an afternoon.
Moreover, if reliable pro-Trump caucus has *already* shriveled to 46 ... and if that 46 includes senators like Burr, Sasse, Toomey whom Trump cannot count upon in a clinch - then things really look dark for Trump.
Not possible Graham doesn't understand all those mechanics way better than random journos on Twitter. Has Graham's game been all along to position himself for maximally effective treachery at the maximally effective time?
