It is beyond me how that pos could ever get reelected, but being that he's a good mormon boy I'm sure he will.
When President Trump is reelected they will do their best to damage Vice President Pence so that he wont run in 2024
This is dumb. It was wrong to withhold United States aid for the purpose of facilitating a campaign favor. Trump wasn't rooting out corruption, he was engaging in it. You have never made a good argument on here.Wrong. That starts precedent for congress ruling on everything a president does or says. It also prohibits the president from moving to sort out corruption of anyone who "opposes" him in any way - if nothing more than by being a member of another party. You do this because of a president who isn't afraid to make enemies hurts your feelings, and you wind up limiting the power of all presidents in the future. We all have a say on who becomes president; we individually have a say in only a very very small fraction of congress. It's congressional not presidential wings that need to be clipped because if we are determined we can do something about a president, but there's virtually no chance we'll ever do anything about a very corrupt congress.
Furthermore, you and your buddies have been far too willing to put words in the mouths of those who are calling for an end to the charade. Saying that nothing further is warranted because nothing stated would rise above the bar for impeachment does not mean they are buying the left's guilt. You guys "got nothin'" and they are calling you out. If you are too dumb to realize that, too bad.
The Republicans will vote to acquit. As the jury doing so, it will not be jury nullification.In this case, a case of jury nullification.... innocent doesn't mean "didn't do it". So, yes, this can and will be used against Trump where it matters - in the general election. And there will not be a vast majority of Senators to vote for acquittal. It will probably be 53-47.
Going to dinner at PF Chang's ... been fun. Trump sucks. Glad to see we all agree.

It's not jury nullification in the strictest sense of the term because it doesn't involve a criminal jury trial, but it is jury nullification in regards to it being an example of having jury members who believe the defendant is guilty (Alexander and Rubio) but have chosen to acquit the defendant anyway because they believe the punishment for the offense would be too harsh. Jury nullification can also occur when juries refuse to convict because of their own prejudices in favor of the defendant or against the prosecution. There could be some of that as well.The Republicans will vote to acquit. As the jury doing so, it will not be jury nullification.
