I doubt Lamar Alexander is right that Trump will "think twice."

Alexander: Trump will 'think twice' before engaging in conduct he was impeached for again

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) said on Sunday he believes that despite his certain acquittal this week, President Trump’s impeachment will dissuade him from conduct of the kind that led to the impeachment proceedings.

“Are you at all concerned, when you speak foreign interference, he does not believe he’s done anything wrong? That what happened here might encourage him to seek further interference?” NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Alexander.

“I don’t think so, I hope not,” Alexander responded. “Enduring an impeachment is something that nobody should like. Even the president said he didn’t want that on his resume, I don’t blame him.”

“If a call like this gets you an impeachment, I would think he would think twice before he did it again,” Alexander added, referencing a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in which Trump tried to persuade Zelensky to investigate the Biden family.

[empedocles]

4. trump's criminal mind is like the rich gangsters who couldn't change. Whitey

Bulger, out of prison, into witness protection program - got caught in the drug trade, [and back in prison, beaten to death].

2. Alexander is lying, or delusional.

I can accept either conclusion.

12. Willfully ignorant, like most Repubs...nt

[GoCubsGo]

18. He's just trying to rationalize his behavior.

He knows he's doing the wrong thing, but he's trying to make excuses, and trying to convince himself that his actions aren't going to have the catastrophic results that they are going to have.

3. Does a three year old have the capability to think twice?

That's what we are dealing with.

5. He's one of my Senators. I sent him an email that said

Howard Baker must be spinning in his grave.

[Guilded Lilly]

6. We are not dealing with a normal human in any way. Malignant narcissists...

are incapable of having any accountability, responsibility or decency.

7. How dumb is this thinking?

Just visualize a BIG FUEL spill by a hospital, and fuel running downhill toward a burning fire! He COULD STOP or DETOUR it, BUT his thinking is no it might miss the fire. FUCK HIM!

8. drumpf thinks?

[choie]

9. You mean like he did after the release of the Mueller report?

asshole

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Well,what does one expect from this Slug.

This is last Ho-rah and the Media has always love him as a source. He is just protecting a failed Process that his Pal Moscow Mitch drafted in order to protect Fellow Senators from being exposed for taking mega Bribes to protect a Gangster President.

[Jade Fox]

11. They think they can control Trump

Wrong. He's lead the GOP around like they have a ring in their collective noses. That's not likely to change.

13. You see, I'm not surprised that he's a scumbag like the rest. I'm really not. But

when you really think about it. This chode had almost nothing to loose, going into retirement and all. Yet there he was all "Thank you sir, may have another?!" in the end. What does that say about this piece of shit party as a whole?

[kentuck]

15. They thought he could take the heat for all the other Republicans...

People would individualize the blame to Lamar Alexander and forget about them.

[kentuck]

14. Surely he jests?

It's probably happening right now?

[ok_cpu]

16. Can you imagine running for senate and going on TV to be this weak and feckless? n/t

[spanone]

17. Lamar had a chance to enshrine himself, instead he's just another complicit trumpist.

He's always framed himself as a centrist but he supported trump right to the end.

He's no better than Marsha Blackburn
