Sorry, but that's how I see it. There may be a small handful of Republicans who will "object strongly", but there will be ZERO Republican calls for impeachment when this goes down.
And I think its going to happen soon, maybe next week.

They count the votes in most states too.
I suspect they don't care what happens because they believe they have it fully wrapped up.

(15,805 posts)Just listen to the weak excuses Republicans offer in defending EVERYTHING this ignoramus has done in their pathetic attempt overlook and rationalize his psychotic behavior. From Trump's sexist pussy grabbing video, to his bragging that he could "stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody", nothing phases Republicans. They raced to the WH to fawn at his feet as he gave them a pat on the head in that South Lawn ceremony celebrating passage of their health care bill that left millions of Americans without any medical coverage.
When Trump fired Yates, Preet Bharara, and then Comey, the Republicans scarcely raised an eyebrow in protest. Republicans anticipate Trump will takedown Mueller, and they already have their official list of excuses memorized and ready for the camera.

"Mueller investigation is a PARTISAN witch hunt"
"Mueller exceeded his mandate"
Not only will Republicans defend Donald, his base will be rapturous. They have been calling gor Mueller's firing since he began.

Trump is more of a benefit to them in-office than out of office. He's a distraction from the heinous judges they are approving and all their horrible policies.
