It takes not only the majority of Representatives at the House of Representatives but also one-third of the 100 Senators in the Senate to impeach President Donald Trump.

Assuming that all Democrats vote in favor of impeaching Trump, which Republican Senators would agree to do the same?

I reckon, if it come to it, Heller and Flake would be the first to flip.

I thought it took two-thirds of the Senate.

Oops. Excuse me. It's two thirds.

And we need ten more.  And none of those people are even close do being willing to do that right now.

Heller
Flake
Collins
McCain
Murkowski
Graham
Portman
Sasse
Hatch
Cruz
Lee
Paul
Fischer
Scott
Rubio
Toomey

Keep in mind some Tea Partiers could vote for impeachment in favor of President Pence.

This is a funny assumption. The Dem party wanted Trump to run in the first place.


Talk about getting what they deserve.
