How Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley could end up voting to convict Trump - Dump and Run

[MadDog]

We all know by now that Cruz and Hawley have strong presidential aspirations, and under certain circumstance, they could end up voting to convict.

Under the Constitution, it is solely up to the Senate to set the rules for an impeachment. The Constitution doesn’t offer any restrictions, limitations or requirements for those rules.

The Senate COULD included a secret ballot in the rules that would allow anyone to vote for conviction without facing any intimidation or retribution.

It is entirely plausible that Cruz and Hawley would realize that conviction would clear the way for their own runs for the 2024 nomination. And no one would be the wiser. The new reality would be Dump & Run - dump Trump and run for the nomination.

I’m not actually predicting this WILL happen, but it’s sure something to think about.

Republicans need to start worrying about the 70+ million Trump voters who will seek revenge on them in 2024 by booting their ass out of office.

It might give breathing room, but with the rhetoric of those two, it is unlikely they would, even in secret. Cruz has proven time and again he will kiss donnie's ass even when he insults Cruz's wife or father. He's and Hawley are just climbers of little character.

If the ballot is secret, how would Trumpers know who to blame.

Wow....the slippery-slope of impeachment.
They'll be holding a trial against a private citizen.
Now we can charge Obama with crimes against the state for his Russian Collusion BS.
It would be great to convict that prick and take away all of his benefits of being an ex-president.

Better yet, lets just make January 13 National Impeachment Day. Every year on that day, we just impeach Trump’s ass again. It’ll feel good and Trump will get the satisfaction that he’s still remembered. It’s a win-win.

Good luck impeaching someone who doesn't hold office any longer.
I'm sure you nut jobs will find a way to justify it, to yourselves.

You obviously don’t realize it was a put down of racism!

Feel free to rebut. Ad hominems don’t really suit the job.

Just think.....if we had control of congress...we could impeach Biden and Harris for high-crimes and treason on the day he's sworn in.

That's why the Dems made sure that they took congress....by hook or by crook.
But if you want a national holiday on Jan 15th...we could turn it into beat the shit out of a Democrat day....or maybe a week.

That will be the only thing that you progs can do, since the United States is going to be fucked for the next 4 years. So keep your mind on the shiny object and watch the orange man bad. This is how countries turn into Venezuela and Cuba. Dipshits like you..

They "could" do a lot of things, I guess, and those new rules could be a story that could be written about in a new book "Profiles in Cowardice." Such a move- if it resulted in a conviction- would result in all of the Republicans in the Senate suffering intimidation and retribution in the Senate regardless of their vote. And thus make it harder for weasels like Romney and Sasse to convict.

 

[Kilroy2]

It is possible in the scenario for them to get rid of Trump and seek to take his place. After all we are talking about politics. The think is about Trump supporters is that they will forget him eventually and look at the bigger picture. Do they want Biden for another 4 years or act like babies because Trump did not win. They will vote republican or won't vote at all which would mean a democrat in the white house.

The more interesting scenario is if Trump runs again how will the other republicans handle it in the primaries. Will they go after him. OF course they will as this is still politics. They will have so much ammo that it would not be fair. I do not think Trump will run again and would more likely want to be a mover and shaker in the party. Like the god father the wannabe's will have to kiss that hand. Which suits Trump better as a behind the scene guy instead of in the spotlight.

Cruz and Hawley should be ejected from Congress for the roll they played in their weasel-in-chief's attempted coup.


(Only a weasel would throw the insurgents he sent to the Capitol to attempt his coup, under the bus by blaming them for everything, AND saying they should be severely punished.)
