David Wasserman of Cook Political Report says a significant number of Republican House Members would vote to impeach President Trump if their ballots were secret. In private conversations, Wasserman says, some GOP lawmakers confess Trump is “wildly unfit to be president.” However, no Congressional Republican, save Sen. Mitt Romney, has spoken out because they fear Trump’s Twitter torpedo. Has Trump cowed his own partisans into silence, or is Wasserman engaged in wishful thinking while quoting unverifiable anonymous sources?

Just for fun, I feel if there were a private vote in the House, I feel some Democrats would vote to not impeach, they also are not doing their job, but save their cushy job to go along.
Well done, both of you. Thank you.
We appreciate the encouragement, Deborah.
When our representatives indict Trump, they indict the voters who put him there. Would those who would vote in secret want complete transparency in campaign donations?
Outstanding episode (except for the closing tune provided by Bill. 🙂
That was troubling.
Impeach him for WHAT?! Any representative, regardless of party, who would vote one way in secret and a different way in public is wildly unfit for public office. That includes dog catcher. Get out NOW because if we find out who you are your next election will be embarrassing.
It’s about time someone on our side has struck fear into the hearts of the gutless wonders known as the Republican party!
My guess is the HoR probably wouldn’t impeach in secret ballot. If the Dems can’t pander to their base that they voted to impeach they’d rather pander by asking for more Dems to be voted in… or depending on how Red State Dems felt things going, could say “hey I voted against it” (but no one could know for 6 months till they tested the wind).
It is a verbatim transcript and the latest whistle blowers letter says its verbatim.
Several Republicans that criticised Trump are now publicly back peddling now that they can read all the documents and transcripts.
If the house had a secret ballot half the democrats would vote no to impeachment. They know a yes vote would swing their union base to Trump. A secret ballot works both ways.
China is paying the tariffs because the prices at Walmart are inelastic and paying the tariffs is burning though China’s dollar reserves. They have 6 months left.
Mitt Romney and Justin Amash. But they may be working for Trump baiting the left into going full nutso because the democrats think the have republican support. 5d chess.
Without context, anything means anything and nothing at the same time. Yet, most argumentation today is held without context and without reference to fact or even an expectation of a factual reference. As such, most argumentation is meaningless (not related to what is).
Meaning is not found in the foggy miasma of emotional intent, wishes, whim, and the like. It is to be found in reality. I don’t care what you intend. It is what you do and what it accomplishes is the ONLY thing that counts? Your so called good intentions mean absolutely nothing. Especially, if you do evil things counter to your stated intent and accomplish destruction.
Okay, why exactly should I believe anything Mr. Wasserman says? Maybe it’s true or maybe he wants to sow dissent and get some publicity for himself.
Great, we got a bunch of elected people who would vote anonymously to remove a president who was elected by the people. That is either another fake poll or deeply troubling. Tells me they are ashamed of their position (vote). Pathetic. When you look at how many of these politicians have enriched themselves and their families using the power of their position in government it really does not surprise me. Trump is the one exposing them. Just like COCKROACHES, they scatter when the light is shined on them.
He’s just not our kind, dear.
-Republican lawmakers
Any Republicans who fears a “Twitter torpedo” is fearing the wrong thing. They should fear the people who support the President because we’ll make danged sure they are the ones who don’t continue to have a job. We have had far too much of their spineless cowering and apparent inability to do what’s necessary to combat the constant attacks by the Democrats on our nation and its values. I’m sick, sick, sick of all of those unpatriotic morons on both sides.
