But even now, few Republicans are willing to commit to protect the president unequivocally in a Senate trial. According to the right-wing Daily Caller, of all 53 Republican senators, only 7 definitively said they would vote to acquit the president.
The seven hard nos came from Sens. Jerry Moran (R-KS), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Rob Portman (R-OH), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), and Mike Rounds (R-SD).

That being said, Daily Caller is Tucker Carlson's outfit. Anything he publishes should be taken with a bucket full of salt.

But if they did, trump might lose 100-0.

That may change this year with how much Lindsey is hated (and an 6-8 point lead instead of his usual 12 at this point), and we have a shot at Joe You Lie! Wilson.
