Chris Wallace over at right leaning Fox News says a source he talked to has indicated what some of us have thought….
Daily revelations of wrong doing by Donald Trump and his cronies don’t have Republican lawmakers saying much, But?
They ARE, and HAVE Been unnerved and unhappy with Donald Trump way before he even won the Presidency…
20% of a chance isn’t much…
But if and when the House finally hands up changers against President Trump sometime in the late winter or early spring?…and Americans keep inching for an impeachment in the polls?
Things are bound to be a lot worst looking for a President who has ran roughshod over the law, every one, and everything else ,including Congress, Democrats AND Republicans….
Fox’s Chris Wallace said a “well-connected” Washington Republican told him that there’s a 20 percent chance enough Republicans will vote to remove the president from office in an impeachment trial in the Senate.
Wallace mentioned his source’s comments during an interview on “Fox News Sunday” with White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.
Wallace cited an overwhelming House vote criticizing the president’s policies in Syria and an op-ed from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) slamming Trump’s decision to withdraw troops from that country.
He then said he had “talked to a very well-connected Republican in Washington, someone whose name you would know well, who says that if the House votes to impeach and it gets to a trial in the Senate, there’s now a 20 percent chance enough Republicans would vote with Democrats to impeach the president.”
The Fox anchor then asked Mulvaney if he was concerned about the president losing GOP support.
“That’s just absurd,” Mulvaney said of the 20 percent prediction.
“The comment about the 20 percent is just a person who clearly doesn’t know what they’re talking about,” he added….

Get back to me when Trumps approval rating among Republicans drops to less than 50% .
Then there might be something to at least talk about.
Right now?Nothing but idle speculation.
Yesterday Rep Francis Rooney of Florida announced retirement a day after saying he’d support impeaching Trump.
The question remains. Will any elected Republican official up for reelection support impeaching or removing Trump? This includes Gardner and Collins.
