Daily Caller asked all 53 Republican Senators about Trump impeachment. Only 7 gave a "hard NO."

Only 7 Republican senators completely ruled out impeaching Donald Trump

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).

They don't even have the articles yet. I'm surprised that seven of them were dumb enough to say that.

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

in an impeachment trial, but of course the majority party would never agree.
But if they did, trump might lose 100-0.

Have worked in races in NC because they are so much more competitive.
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.

He’s the biggest reason I77 is now a toll lane run by a foreign company.

His nickname is Thom Tollus.

He's such a slimeball and not even from the state, if I remember correctly. Floriduh, maybe?

I'll never understand how Sherrod Brown continues to be elected in a state that also sends Portman to Washington.
