1. 50/50. nt

[Celerity]

2. 35 to 45% chance of conviction atm

[bearsfootball516]

3. McConnell seems to possibly getting on board.

If that happens, the dominos will fall imo.

[Hortensis]

13. Yes. He wants and needs Trump gone, and so do a bunch of others.

And this is the senate, not the house.

[11 Bravo]

4. Based on what I'm currently hearing, I've got it at 50/50.

But hope springs eternal.

[Under The Radar]

5. It all depends on the power that Mitch has.

There is a secret group that wants Trump gone with no influence on the party or its voters. That means that they will support further humiliation and distraction of the man. The question remain of how many republicans that will be.

[CTyankee]

6. Now is the crucial time for wavering R's to get the message from constituents. If they are

mightily pissed off, Senators are likely to go with the trend. I think we have a window of opportunity. If we miss it, he won't get convicted and WE NEED THAT TO HAPPEN!

7. CNN chyron

"Prospects of convicting Trump erode."

And then just now:
"Sources: more than a dozen GOP members push for impeachment conviction."

[Johnny2X2X]

8. 0%

The Republicans absolutely love Trump!

[drray23]

10. politics ard a bit more complicated than that.nt.

[Fiendish Thingy]

9. Too early to ask this question- come back after witnesses have testified

And footage of the insurrection is shown to the senate and the world, and introduced as evidence in the trial.

[redstatebluegirl]

11. 25/75 they are chicken s...s.

[TwilightZone]

12. Zero.

Lots of wishful thinking going around, just like last time.

I can come up with four Senators who *might* vote to convict. We need 17.

[mtnsnake]

14. I hate to say it but I have to think you are right

The only way 17 repuke senators will ever vote to convict would be if Trump burns down all their houses when they're not home, then grabs all their spouses by their you know whats, and even then I'm not sure those cowards would vote to convict. All of them know that Trump is absolutely guilty as charged, but I don't think more than a handful of them give a rats ass about any of Trump's heinous crimes as long as they think those crimes don't affect their political futures. 17? I think we'd have better luck finding the tip of a needle in a haystack than finding 17 of that bunch of crooks who would vote against him. But I sure do hope I'm wrong.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

16. Agreed. I've long since given up hope

of them doing the right thing. They've ignored too many chances to do just that.

Nah, a handful will defect and vote to convict, but the vast majority will stick with this fucker to the bitter end.

[GreenEyedLefty]

15. I reluctantly voted for the "small chance" option

I really want to believe there is a better chance but I have no faith in Republicans to do the right thing.

[AmyStrange]

17. It MIGHT happen, but...

-

I'm not holding my breath.

We are, after all, talking about BAT-SHIT CRAZY people actually doing something that ISN'T insane.

18. I think there is a really good chance of conviction bc McConnell only cares about 1 thing:

Maintaining power. And if Trump poses a threat to his power, he will take him out. If left to stand, trump will be burning down the GOP. I would think it would be too big a risk for the GOP and it’s donor/owners.

[mtnsnake]

19. hmmm, good point

Let's hope McConnell is thinking it out the way you are. I think the biggest obstacle right now, though, is not so much McConnell but Lindsey Graham.
