So this thread is about our favorite swamp creature, Mitch McTurtle. And no. I have not suddenly fallen in love with the utterly adorable asshole
I need to explain the Trump Impeachment McTurtle angle. MOST of you will be surprised. He's on OUR side?

VERY many of you have become convinced (fairly) that the GOP will acquit Trump again, because essentially all pundits tell you so. I am not DISPUTING their analysis
I tell you the FACTS
I need to tell you what the Teenage Mutant Mitch McTurtle is DOING

MOST have not noticed, that Mitch McTurtle is secretly WHIPPING Republican SENATOR VOTES to flip, and vote to CONVICT Trump
Yes. That is what he is doing. I have not gone soft in my head listening to Trump attorneys explaining record players

Mitch hates Trump. He KNOWS that Trump destroyed GOP and lost the House in 2018, the White House in 2020 and the Senate in January 2021 (Georgia).
Mitch LOST HIS POWER. He correctly blames Trump for Georgia's double-loss in a RED state

Mitch wants his power back. He NEEDS the GOP Senators to win in 2022 to retake his gavel. Trump will DESTROY that chance. Mitch NEEDS Trump to be removed from politics, permanently
Mitch's PERSONAL political power DEPENDS on eliminating Trump (politically)

You say BUT BUT BUT
No.
No butts.
Mitch McTurtle always hated Trump but he played the CORRECT gambit while HE HAD THE guy in the White House. Don't give Trump idiotic laws he wants (his wall). Make Trump approve Mitch's judges

Up to Georgia's special elections, Mitch stayed loyal to the cause. The moment Georgia was called, Mitch went public that Trump lost the election - and ever since openly signalled his utter disgust of Trump.

I did not say what you think. ALL of the above does NOT mean that Mitch would vote to convict Trump. I did not say that. Mitch will CALCULATE what his vote will be. He MAY vote to convict. Or to acquit
(i'll explain, hold on)

I have been explaining the 'civil war' inside GOP for long on this TW feed. Last month or so, many TV pundits have noticed it too, and proclaim it to be ongoing. I warned you YEARS ago.
The current factions are led by Qevin McCarthy & the McTurtle

With the Liz Cheney vote, Mitch McTurtle Senate GOP Leader took the EXCEEDINGLY rare public rebuke of House GOP Leader Qevin McCarthy.
This NEVER happens. Liz voted AGAINST Trump in House. Mitch rushed to HER defense from Senate, undermining Qevin

Mitch is too wily to publically commit to vote to convict Trump. Personally he hates Trump. Personally he loves other people voting against Trump (Liz)
But Mitch's vote will NOT be based on his personal preference. Nor will it be based on facts or a 'spine'

This is Teenage Mutant Mitch McTurtle math:
If Trump will be convicted, Mitch joins with the convicting side being 68th vote
If Trump is acquitted Mitch also acquits, even if he's 34th vote to acquit
TAKE THIS TO THE BANK. This is REALITY

Do NOT even CONSIDER Mitch's OWN vote. It CANNOT matter. We deal with 99 OTHER Senators, not Mitch. He will vote with the winning side, regardless which it will be.
What is STUNNING - is that Mitch is WHIPPING the votes AGAINST Trump

Mitch NEEDS for Trump to be destroyed (politically) or else Mitch cannot get back into power
Mitch CANNOT himself suggest he'll vote against Trump.
Mitch NEEDS other GOP Senators to abandon Trump and vote to Convict. He needs to do this SECRETLY

Look at Mitch's behavior COMPARED to the first Impeachment. He is NOT whipping all GOP Senators to promise to acquit Trump
...neither is his number 2 guy Cornyn !!!
Cornyn ALSO hates Trump, he likely WILL vote to convict

Mitch needs 17 sacrificial lambs. Romney has delivered 5. Cassidy yesterday became his 6th. It is LIKELY that most if not all of 'retiring' GOP Senators have secretly agreed with Mitch to vote to convict. With Cornyn, we may have 11 already out of 17

I am NOT predicting we will win. It doesn't depend on the Senate trial directly. It depends on PUBLIC POLLING so that Mitch can move 6 more GOP Senator to convict
I AM telling you that Mitch is whipping the vote against Trump. Not because he's a good man.

I promise you this. The final vote we will get more than 56 Senators. How many more, we won't know until the vote is counted
What WE can do, is demand longer trial, witnesses, and push the polling up. To help Mitch get us the votes
He IS on our side on this
