It seems like so many people have given up and are resigned to Trump being Impeached but NOT removed. But I have a little bit of hope and don't want to give up.
Let me explain why I have hope...

First of all you can't judge GOP Senators by the behavior of GOP Congressmen...
23 GOP are retiring but otherwise EVERY GOP Congressman is up for reelection. That may be a factor in how they vote
But Senators are different
4 GOP Senators are retiring
Only 23 are up for reelection
Some GOP are in swing States which may influence their vote in either direction
GOP Congressmen know their votes won't matter, Dems in the house already have the votes so they're under no pressure. It's in the Senate's hands.

But GOP Senators know their votes matter. Those retiring can vote to remove. Those up for reelection...it may impact their decisions
There are 30 GOP Senators who are NOT up for reelection in 2020. And guess what, most constituents have short memories. Those in Red States could decide that they have years to win back constituents if they buck the party.
I'm not counting on it, but I'm also not counting it out.
I know removal seems unlikely but we almost ruled out getting 3 GOP votes in the healthcare vote of 2017. But it happened. And I believe "We the people" made it happen. We raised our voices, we were passionate & we fought for Healthcare. Now its time to fight for our Democracy...
Don't look at #GymJordan #MattGaetzDUI #devinnunesisatraitor & give up on all GOP.
Congressmen differ from Senators.
And even if we can change one or two minds it can have a domino effect.
WE CAN'T GIVE UP!
It's time to start raising our voices. We must take to the streets...👇
IT'S ON

REMEMBER:

If a GOP Senator publicly stated they were going to vote AGAINST Trump & break from the party they'd have to deal with weeks of intense pressure from their peers to fall back in line & change their vote.

It's strategic for them NOT to reveal how they intend to vote.
