In reply to the discussion: Presidential historian predicts public support for Trump will collapse [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,412 posts)53. The *only* Democratic Senator I'm worried about is (no surprise):
Joe Manchin
Whether it's him being from West Virginia, where there is generally strong support for Trump (although I don't know why) or whether he sort of genuinely supports Trump and wants to work with him for some reason, he has been pretty wobbly when it comes to major votes against Trump and/or his nominees. I could very well see him possibly casting a vote acquitting Trump in the Senate. I don't think that there will be any others in the Senate but him, but Trump would definitely welcome his vote of support and be sure to mention it a thousand times a day to attack the Impeachment/Removal effort *if* and when he is acquitted.

19.5% of the country voted for him and not even all of THEM are the cult. That 40% could be swayed.

I silently harbor a dread of some new drama next year that could derail all this momentum.
