#1 I thought Senator John McCain died...

#2 Mormans are starting to really annoy me.

#4 Chartering a 737 MAX and flying a delegation of like-minded democrats and CNN media team to Wuhan, China for a lengthy on site investigation would gain him much needed attention.

#5 Would be fun to watch Trump primary Romney in 2024 as one of the last things he does as President.

#6 A family member who works southern Utah claims Romney has already annoyed the Mormons.

#7 Just a guess, but here's what's about to happen. Confident that they can force witnesses, Willard and Murkey will stick their necks out and Droopy (Collins) will throw them under the bus. Like eating your dead enemy's heart, Droopy will come out way ahead and Willard and Murkey will get primaried.

#8 NYT is reporting there are 4 repubs ready to vote for witnesses. Smart money laughs and bets the other way.

#9 The funniest thing would be if 4 'pubs vote for witnesses and 5 Dems don't.

#10 Romney needs to become a pariah. Shunned by the rest of the GOP caucus.

#11 Fine. Announce that each and every Senator can pick a witness and there is no horsetrading. Mutual Assured Destruction is a valid game plan.

#12 Mitch only needs to twist one arm or grease one palm. Willard is going to look stupid.

#13 After the impeachment publicly kick Romney out of the party!

#14 publicly kick Romney out of the party

Doesn't work that way. You pick your party, the party doesn't pick you. Witness - lots of NRA members are disgusted with WLP. But they are still counted as members.

#16 Its just Romney trying to be more relevant than he really is.

#17 It's a win/win. Mitt establishes his NeverTrump bona fides and the Dems *finally* get Trump. BWHAHAHA!

The only fly in that ointment is that witnesses also means witnesses about matters Ukrainian, and Ukraine means Bidens plural, and suddenly that whole corrupt Obama-era mess is being explained on national TV. Gonna be embarrassing to hear about the Biden clan actually doing the things Trump is charged with.

#18 I am not wealthy. I regret that $100 is all I can afford to pledge for anybody, and I mean anybody, who primaries Pierre.

Yeah, I mean, are they really gonna throw Joe under the bus? And if they do, does Baraq go under the bus as well?

#22 Constitution Amendment:Any member of Congress that are on the Presidential Ballot and fail to be elected must leave the government and the territory of the USA for 10 years.
The Athenians had the custom of Ostracism and shipping Hillary!, McCain and Romney overseas has a certain charm.
