The 17 Rethugs most likely to convict, and then 5 wild cards [View all]

[Celerity]

I am NOT saying at all that these 17 will vote to convict, simple that all have at least given some hope, no matter how slight, they might.

I have spent hours over the last week or so looking at statements, articles, prognostications

IF the SCOTUS said this WAS Constitutional (the post POTUS trial) then I think we would have the 17 and more, as SO many of the 50 Rethugs are hiding behind the bullshit argument (false) that it's unconstitutional.

edited to add

these 17 are my picks REGARDLESS of the constitutional issue excuse, as some posters seem to be focusing in on that alone, and I was not clear enough, apparently

Alabama - Richard Shelby
Alaska - Lisa Murkowski
Alaska - Dan Sullivan
Idaho - Mike Crapo
Idaho - Jim Risch
Indiana - Todd Young
Kentucky - Mitch McConnell
Louisiana - Bill Cassidy
Maine - Susan Collins
Nebraska - Deb Fischer
Nebraska - Ben Sasse
North Carolina - Richard Burr
North Carolina - Thom Tillis
Ohio - Rob Portman
Pennsylvania - Pat Toomey
South Dakota - John Thune
Utah - Mitt Romney

Wild Cards

Arkansas - Tom Cotton (IF he is running for POTUS in 2024, he might see this as a way to put the knife in Trump, he is that ruthless)
Kansas - Jerry Moran (has been in the group, many of those in the 17 above, who have been hanging around McConnell for days now. Many pundits think Mitch has something up his sleeve)
Louisiana - John Kennedy (crazy unpredictable, and he KNOWS better, he is one of the most intelligent Senators despite his fake hick, slack-jaw yokel act)
Texas - John Cornyn (just a hunch, and he HATES Cruz personally)
West Virginia - Shelley Moore Capito (what bigger wild card than the Rethug from Trump-insane West Virginia, she has 6 years to go before re-election too)
