Politico:Secret Senate Ballot Could Lead To Trump's Removal

NeverTrumper adviser to Prez campaigns of McStain and Yeb! JULEANNA GLOVER sez:
A secret impeachment ballot might sound crazy, but it’s actually quite possible. In fact, it would take only three senators to allow for that possibility.
And:
...according to current Senate procedure, McConnell will still need a simple majority‐51 of the 53 Senate Republicans‐to support any resolution outlining rules governing the trial. That means that if only three Republican senators were to break from the caucus, they could block any rule they didn’t like. (Vice President Mike Pence can’t break ties in impeachment matters.) Those three senators, in turn, could demand a secret ballot and condition their approval of the rest of the rules on getting one
After some more blather she closes her first draft with:
And if Trump were to leave office before the end of the year, there might even be enough time for Republicans to have a vibrant primary fight, resulting in a principled Republican as the nominee.
That's adorable. She thinks there will still be a viable GOP if they go along with this. And that the Dems won't demand more blood for Baal.

Your "conservative leadership", ladies and gentlemen.

But read the whole thing.

#1 And people could also use the "the against all enemies both foreign and domestic" to remove a great many Democrats and other leftists from office the hard way.

...Yeah, Pierre Delecto is tanned, rested, ready and ready to collaborate- I mean, cooperate.

#4 This comes from the people who were openly dreaming of a coup following the November election 3 years ago.

A secret ballot would end the legitimacy of the sitting government.

#5 Mitt and who else?
Potentially Murkowski and Collins.

#6 A secret ballot would end the legitimacy of the sitting government.

And the match that would light the next civil war.

#8 If Mitch McConnell allowed a secret ballot he’d probably not get re-elected. So why would he do so?

This is wishful thinking on the level of Republican Electoral College delegates giving their votes to Hillary.

#9 A secret ballot is against everything a democracy stands for and the people in the Senate being held accountable for their actions by the voters.

I doubt Trump would leave office if that happened and the military would back him along with a good majority of the population.

A hot Civil war would be started.

#11 No way in hell would I ever vote for Pierre. Let Warren have it if that's the way the GOPe wants to play it.
