Sen. Alexander, a key impeachment swing vote, has announced that he will not join Democrats in voting to call witnesses in President Trump's Senate impeachment trial.

Time for Senator Collins to either retire or run on the Democrat ticket. She sides way too often with the Dems; she is not a Republican, and the RNC better take note.

What a surprise... We act like the process and outcome wasn't predetermined by the Senate GOP.

Sad, Lamar retires dishonorable defending a violator of our constitution and laws. Supporting Trump at the expense of what’s good for America. The word honorable should never be used before his name

Go Away old man

The base care not that Trump care not that their image is as such that elderly retiring politicians are afraid to 'upset' them by going against their father/leader. Trump is a sickness.

Old YT Man is Voting with Other Old YT Man..........There Needs to be Term Limits...Nobody Gets to Have a Job for 100 YR's...You Came in a Racist YT Man and 100 YR's Later Go Out a Racist YT Man...Term MotherFukking Limits.......Clinging to Not Letting the World Change....

Ok so why is this news No expectation there 🙄

American Values! At one time values won the Cold War. The Freedom to self govern, to have one's voice heard without fear of retribution. Now in retrospect America only one a battle but lost the War. Trump has built a new wall.. of shame. If you challenge him there is retributuon

Welcome to TeamPariah SenAlexander

He made the wise decision. Our country is in danger of extremist Islam and left. We can't afford to repeat the failed socialist experience of ex-Soviet Union or Mao's China. Neither we can go with Sharia Law supported by some congresswomen.

Another coward who enduring his “legacy” willb completely erased & the only note that he voted 2 acquit a criminal & was therefore complicit in his crimes.

She would only vote yes on witnesses if she knows it will be a losing vote. Lamar votes no so Susan can vote yes. All good Republican soldiers on the March to a one party state.

Couldn't pass up all that lobbying money waiting for him as he retires...Putin nailed it when he said ‘they only care about money’

Worried about retirement and repercussions -he turns his back on the country!

He is a Republican, money before dignity, money before truth, money before Country, money before everything!

Alexander isn't returning to the Senate so of course he'll vote for Trump's criminal behaviour. Senator has nothing to lose, so he says FU to the right side of history. USA is the worst government ever! It's fixed/rigged!

He wants to screw America one last time on his way out. Stupid drama queen.

Just picture the press as the American people, and what do you see? I see a man walking away from his patriotic duty, leaving the rest of us with a corrupt Emperor and a subservient Congress.

SenAlexander’s biography will be titled “Profile in No Courage”

Inappropriate is being rude, swearing, being loud, causing damage...wtf is this? “It was inappropriate for the president to ask a foreign leader to investigate his political opponent and to withhold United States aid to encourage that investigation.” trumpiscorrupt

Good. This sham will be over soon.

WHY?

And this is not all on Alexander. It is on the 50 republicans expected to vote for an unprecedented trial without witnesses.

There's lots of Republicans that could do the right thing! There Adults.

Good man 👌👌👍🏻👍🏻

This is not even a cover up...it is a pat on the back and please continue to funnel money. Nov.3, 2020...

He was waiting for the Benjamin's . Now his account has been fatened it's all good to go.

Are we at the bottom yet? No, it’s going to get more ridiculous. Trumpsters will own this carnage.

Game over. Let the left commence the whaling and gnashing of teeth.

I feel sorry for the repussicans when they finally sober up and realize the evil they’ve set loose on America. How will they ever be able to look at themselves in the mirror? They will go down in history as traitors to their country and Trump will be LAUGHING at them as fools.

Susan Collins is a coward. She gets no credit for waiting until she was sure it wouldn't matter. Vote her out.

Smart move, breaking away from the other idiots

Dems need to impeach Trump again , because he will keep crimming

Good Decision

GOP’s steadfastness to acquit Trump, regardless of Bolton’s testimony was the nail in the coffin for Alexander. Notwithstanding that 75% of America wants to hear witnesses, they want to hear the truth. This country is sorely wounded & divided. Only the truth can begin the healing

Good! He shouldn't, jurors don't hold investigations.

Graham’s steadfastness to acquit Trump, regardless of Bolton’s testimony question was the nail in the coffin for Sen. Alexander. Notwithstanding that 75% of America wants to hear witnesses, they want to hear the truth. This country is wounded & divided. Only the truth can heal it

Chicken sh**

A dangerous president has been propped up by a devious Republican majority for whom power wins over truth. Shame on this now fully corrupt party. Sad day.

Sorry excuse for a man

Dems own witnesses proved no “quid pro quo” therefore no abuse of power.What we all witnessed from Dems during hearings were grandiose campaigning for the impeachment of POTUS.That their opinion is reason enough. Hypocrites who believe they are above the law.

For a second I thought they were holding out knives.

So Senator Alexander is trying to have it both ways. Wouldn’t that be nice, but what he’s saying is Trump committed an impeachable offensive but whatever. So we should all except Russia’s choice for our president. Maybe China can pick our next president.

The GOP = the party of cowards!

SenAlexander YOUR VOTE FOR WITNESSES MATTER. THE PEOPLE DESERVE TO HEAR THEIR TESTIMONY!!!!!!!!!😡

one_interested Collins made damn sure it wasn't going to pass before saying yes. CowardsAndThieves

SenAlexander , a profile in cowardice. Along with SenatorCollins and MittRomney and lisamurkowski . America’s great experiment ended tonight. 244 years later.

My god, the dems failed to get bipartisan support from GOP? What a shock. Not. They keep getting steamrolled by McConnell b/c he understand power. Where was Klobuchar's 'GET THINGS DONE!' superpower? She couldn't get witnesses? Hmm...maybe she's been bullshitting all along.

GOP predictable politics as usual. Alexander falls on his sword and votes for NO witnesses because he's retiring. Collins in a re-election fight for her life voted YES to give her ANY chance to win her seat. A GOP WASH...hogwash. NO witnesses equals NO trial. Verrrry UnAmerican.

It’s going to be a sad day in America history tomorrow that SenateGOP sold us out to a corrupt realDonaldTrump you are not with the people you are making a dictator just like Hitler! Very very sad I hope u all sleep well at night

The Republicans are so corrupted. A party filled with imbeciles

Good job Sir! Pelosi handed Trump the election! 1. Biden smeared badly by Pam Bondi for 2 hours 2. Trump base is fired up UnlikelyTrialWitnesses

Disgraceful. It’s not a trial without witnesses

Vote imposed under threat and not on reason and evidence, .... long live to republican democracy

He never was

Not allowing witnesses just proves that GOP is a corrupt so called party and that is good to know for everyone. So if this happened long term it’s good for the Americans and the world. P.s. it time to change the constitution to protect the election.

Republican Senate and House is like one big crime family against America, the Constitution and the rule of law at this point. These folks put party and winning above the well being of the Republic and the American people now and generations to come.
