CNN: ",..all doomed to be tabled along party lines..53 to 47.? Not one of them..not even one.

From CNN...".....The first real day of the trial saw House impeachment managers and Trump's legal team slog through hours of debate over attempts by Democrats to expand the scope of the trial, all doomed to be tabled along party lines by 53 votes to 47.

..Not even on key votes. I did not watch it last night. Couldn't take it. But not even one on any votes went with the truth.

Is that the way all the votes will be?...I don't know. Maybe later, 1 or 2 will see the truth..I doubt it. I sure hope that the puke party is destroyed for a while. (at least through this November)..

1. They'll learn the truth in November.

The truth is: Voters hate the Russiapublicans more with every obstruction they commit.

3. Yes, in November ,McConnell & company will get theirs..If McConnell looses his senate seat,

I will have a great party, and all of DU will be invited. Words cannot describe how I feel about Moscow Mitch.

2. pretty much.... though I think there was "1" crossover on one vote

Forget which proposal it was, but collins voted no on one vote. Didn't matter, and she knew it. Just a fig leaf.

But yeah, every important vote will be along party lines. No senator is going to foresake the wingnut welfare wagon, even those retiring.

They all have millions in future earnings at risk.

4. I think some don't want to be exposed early.

There may be a small number who will stick to the party line now,but will vote for witnesses and there may even be a small number who will vote to convict.

5. I think you are correct. Yes,".some don't want to be exposed early." I agree. We will see.
