Senate Republicans have high hopes that President Trump wont tweet during his impeachment trial.
This is a solemn and serious undertaking and I just think we dont need a bunch of distractions, said Sen. John Cornyn told Politico.
The Texas Republican said it would be optimal for Trump to stay off the social media platform while the Senate holds the trial.
The president will like the outcome, I believe, in the end. So ... making it easier not harder would be a good thing, he said.

(82,849 posts)A commentator on NPR (didn't get her name) yesterday said that the six page "I Wrote It All By Myseff" screed to Pelosi trapped every Republican in the House and the Senate into signing on for whatever Trump says or does through the proceedings. I hadn't thought of it like that, but I think the woman was right: By not saying anything about the letter, Trump should now expect every Republican to follow his lead. Sen. Cornyn can hope that Trump doesn't tweet. Hope in one hand and shit in the other, Senator, and see which one fills up first.

(111,049 posts)..during the trial?
It seems it would be very inappropriate for either Party to interfere with the trial in such a manner?
