Update at the end
If you want to know how much our lawmakers care about our Constitution and the damage the country has sustained under the assault by Democrats, just consider this latest information.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly does not have the votes to block witnesses. The RINOs are possibly going to give the Democrats what they want.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told senators privately Tuesday he does not yet have the votes to block new witnesses in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, reports the AP
A Republican familiar with the closed-door meeting of GOP senators provided the information.
McConnell convened the meeting shortly after Trump’s legal team made its closing arguments in the trial.
The GOP has a 53-seat majority and can only afford to lose three Republicans to prevent more debate over witnesses.
Can you believe they are going to make this country go through more of this over a phone call and Biden corruption?
Update
After I wrote this, I found The Hill article stating that Republicans are optimistic.
“The consensus is that we’ve heard enough and it’s time to go to a final judgment,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) told reporters.
[Consensus isn’t good enough]
Asked if the trial proceedings should go past Friday, Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), another member of Senate GOP leadership, said that it “shouldn’t.”
“We’re kind of confident,” Thune added.
The chamber is expected to vote Friday on whether or not to allow new witnesses or documents in President Trump’s trial. If they skip witnesses, that will pave the way for a swift vote to acquit Trump.
There are still several Republican senators, including Sens. Lisa Murkowski(Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine), Mitt Romney (Utah), Lamar Alexander(Tenn.) and Jerry Moran (Kansas), who have not said how they will vote on witnesses.

Calling witnesses at this point gives credibility to the process which took place in the House. Sorta. It means the non-existant charges brought to the Senate may be worth looking into for some reason. All based on a fictional phone call made up by Schifforbrains and cohorts.
None, zip, zero, nada, zilch of the “witnesses” had any first hand info which would give the shampeachment any validity whatsoever.
Just shows how stupid the dishonest slugs in the senate truly are. Have they requested any input from the folks back home, the ones who elected them? Probably not. They might be surprised that most would like to end the circus clown show and get on with the people’s business.
Just sayin’.
Worthless gop Senators who are not any better that the dems. If the gop majority in the Senate drops the ball on this one and the President ends up losing in the impeachment trial, the gop will pay a heavy price.
It figures, my damn Senator is one who is spineless. These worthless politicians should realize the Republican party is quickly becoming the “Trump party”. It will be even more cemented than Reagan had accomplished. Beware, you are sealing your own fate in politics. Either become the Democrats you are supporting or get out of the way for legislators who are interested in “serving the public”. Trump is the very first President, in my lifetime, since Kennedy, who is concerned for the people. We are learning the vast majority of politicians are only concerned with lining the pockets of themselves and their families, and sometimes their friends, all the while the public are the ones who pay the price.
Look around the world…the “politicians have faithfully served the $$$$ and NOT their electors…many of whom will be in for some hard lessons coming their way as the Main Stream Media IS “blind siding” them on behalf of these despicable loathsome traitors that are bent on utter and complete subjugation of the proletariate…
New witnesses and a prolonged Senate trial will hurt Bernie, Warren and Klobuchar more than Trump because Biden and Bloomberg will be able to continue campaigning and they won’t. Makes me wonder if this isn’t the plan to thwart over the top and avowed socialist/communists Sanders and Warren from the nomination because in the end, Trump will be exonerated and they know it.
A nation destroyed from inside is a nation that will never recover and the door is opening tor this to happen to America that has survived for two hundred years.of democracy.
The Main Stream Media was “compromised” over forty years ago…and has been in the vanguard of the destruction of America…and the “free world”. The same “forces” that bought them also invested heavily in “politicians”…most demoncraps were already leaning in their direction and many rinos joined up…ergo there are now entire States that are forming a “union” to actively circumvent the “spirit and intent” of the Electoral College…No College = No Constitutional Republic…and it is no secret outside of the MSM that the UN was actively “involved” in the “caravans” on your Southern border, which the demoncraps to a “person” wholeheartedly supported…No Borders = No Country. ANY politician,or supporter of the DNC securing the presidency in the next 8 to 12 years, will assuredly see your Constitution disappear and the end of the Republic.
