re: Senate Republicans hold fate of Trump and country in their hands

Senators I don't trust: Romney, McSalley, Murkowski, Collins, Burr, Sasse, Rubio, Alexander. There are more but these are off the top of my head
I think the senators up in 2020 in red states, even if they are swampy, like Cornyn in TX, can be trusted. They are writing their death wish if they go along.
But I fear the ones in purple or blue states. McSalley being a prime example, watch her go along with it thinking it will pander to those in Arizona. All it will do is get the Republicans in AZ not to vote for her, while she gains little votes from indies and democrats.
Also in the House of Reps. I think you'll, sadly, find Republicans in competitive districts come out in support for impeachment thinking it will help save their own arse(it won't).
But people in congress are morons.

You do realize this a two way street? Do you think someone in a competitive district that votes for impeachment won’t feel any blow back?

Exactly. Off the top of your head you rattled off 8 of the 20 needed.
Those 8 would remove Trump tonight.
Everyone wants to just say "no way the Republicans remove Trump".
But if you think about it for 5 minutes you can appreciate the peril Trump is in.
These guys have tremendous power at the moment and they will use it on both sides.
How many of these guys are compromised as well? You think the deep state won't be looking at these guys real close. Side piece? Shady deals? Drug issue?
Trump will be skating a razors edge.

When this matter goes to the Senate for a trial, IMHO, 2 or 3 of these folks will vote to convict Trump.
