It seemed perfect. Everything was going Donald Trump's way. Republican senators had refused to allow witnesses in his impeachment trial. They were expected to form a solid red line of defense. And the administration was even hoping some vulnerable Democrats might buck their party and vote to acquit the President.
Then came the stunner: Mitt Romney broke with his fellow Republicans and voted for Trump's removal from office."He explained his decision in moving moral, ethical and patriotic terms," wrote Frida Ghitis."Judging the President, he said, was 'the most difficult decision I ever faced.' But the judgment of history weighed heavily. He faced his responsibility with modesty and gravity...he found that 'what the President did was wrong, grievously wrong.
Opinion Trump is the most 'babble mouthed' ,'babble head' to ever breathe on this earth. Lindsay and Rudy are right behind him.

Opinion Do not recall you guys airing realDonaldTrump opnion. Guess I missed it
Opinion
Opinion With the Senate trial behind him, the President can go right back to soliciting foreign interference in the elections. Trump could lie about the results of the 2020 election if it goes against him and can confidently expect Reps to back him up in any disputed parts of the vote.
Opinion He seeks applause , in fact demands it, like Kim.

Opinion After a failed attempt to remove President Trump, CNN is still trying 'deep sixing' Trump at every turn. CNN ratings have plummeted and they still continue on the road to their demise. That is network suicide.
Opinion More like Democrats and the fake news get ANOTHER unwelcome surprise. Losers. 🤣
Opinion Maybe.. just maybe if Republican Senator pulled their noses out of Trumps ass their states would be doing better. They are consistency ranked lowest in almost every measure. Don’t take my word for it. Check your state’s rankings...Hello Mitch 40 & Lindsey 42.
Opinion Donald Trump is a criminal and a traitor. The Republican party is anti-American and completely corrupt. There is nothing honest about this sick administration. It is a mirror of Hitler's regime inside and out. They are not 'innocent victims'--they are tyrants and betrayers.
