Conway swings and misses on impeachment process vote

“Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country,” she said.

“And he’s just not worth it.” - Pelosi

“overwhelming and bipartisan”. How was today’s vote in congress? Was it a bipartisan result?

Hmm I wonder if anything changed since she said that…

I notice you didn’t provide a link. Here it is below.

And the quote doesn’t support what you said. Here is what you said: “She said her thing was not sending something to the Senate that she knew had no chance of passing…”. That quote says nothing about not sending an impeached President to the Senate.

This is from March. Two things have changed. The Presidents abuse of power by attempting to withhold aid for personal political gain wasn’t even known about then. In addition there is now bipartisan support for removal shown by polls showing a majority of American’s support impeachment.

I don’t even know what to compare it to. Closest thing that comes to mind is the Bowling Green Massacre.

Never forget!

No there was nothing bipartisan in today’s vote, every single republican voted no, and only two democrats voted no. It was like every vote right down party lines which Pelosi previously said impeachment would have to be a bipartisan affair or it would hurt the country.

Everyone knows FOX no longer works for Donald and his Trumpites, and is therefore fake news.

How did the polls fair today in the house? Did the vote receive 51% of the republican vote?

There is no requirement for 51% of Republican’s to approve.

You still haven’t supported your statement that she wouldn’t send an impeached President to the Senate unless she was sure of Senate conviction.

I thought she said it, it could have been someone else and I might have confused it with the “I don’t think there’s any impeachment unless it’s bipartisan” comment.

Regardless does anyone really think this impeachment process will be bipartisan? Or will it go like today right down party lines? One doesn’t have to be a rabid Trump supporter to see the end game in the Senate.

Now that I fully agree with.

Trump will be impeached and it will be sent to the Senate.

IMHO I give it about a 5% chance of him being convicted. Much more likely is Mitch will have a very accurate nose count of the GOP Senators and will release a limited number to vote for impeachment but yet it will result in votes 2 or 3 shy of conviction.

I think this because I believe behind closed doors Mitch hates Trump for jepardizing GOP control of the Senate with his abuses of power coupled with the fact that the Senate class up for reelection is much different in terms of party distribution than it was in 2018 where there were many more DEM Senators on the ballot than GOP. Not that same next year.

You highly underestimate how much Republicans hate Trump, especially the Senate. They only refrain because of FOMT.

Maybe your boy shouldn’t have sent Rudy G. and two Ukranian ■■■■■■■ mobsters to try to run foreign policy in Ukraine. Or overtly made a quid pro quo clear in a call to Ukraine’s president. Otherwise known as not doing the stupidest things possible.

They are not going to get 20 + republican votes and will probably lose a few democratic votes in red states. I am sure the democratic senators like Doug Jones in Alabama is pumped up on voting for impeaching the president.

Not even close. 100% of the Republicans in the House will be remembered as Trump’s accomplices.

You sound awfully confident for a dude who predicted none of what’s already happened would happen.

I thought according to someone the Democrats didn’t have the numbers to carry the vote.

All the Democratics will vote for impeachment. Collins, Romney, gardener, are the sure r,s the rest well that will have to wait for the trial.

Your 100% all democrats will vote for impeachment even Joe Manchin?

“I’m not going to do a thing until we see the facts, if it comes to us,” said Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.). “It wears me out when I hear them talking about all that [day-to-day impeachment reporting]. I usually turn stations.”

Hexenbiest · 2019-10-31T23:30:00.399Z

I can’t argue with that.
