He’s either a snake knowing that voters hate him or he was put up to thismy guess is snake but I’ve been wrong before

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told Republican colleagues in a letter that he will vote to acquit former President Donald Trump, Politico reported Saturday morning.

According to the report, McConnell “told GOP colleagues in a letter that he will vote to acquit Donald Trump in the former president’s impeachment trial, according to sources familiar with the communication.”

McConnell refused to reveal whether he intended to convict or acquit Trump in the lead up to the impeachment trial, telling reporters that he intended to hear both sides of the arguments.

“I think that’s what we ought to do. That’s what I said before it started. That’s still my view,” McConnell said at the time.

The minority leader previously told colleagues that their vote would ultimately be one of “conscience” and made waves after a January 19 floor speech where he said that the January 6 mob was “fed lies” and “provoked by the president and other powerful people.”

“And they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like,” he said.

Democrats and members of the establishment media had hoped that McConnell would steer Republicans to convict the former president, but a conviction widely remains unlikely given that 44 GOP senators, including McConnell, questioned the constitutionality of proceeding with the trial this week.

The news also follows a Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy survey taken this month, which showed 53 percent of Kentuckians disapproving of McConnell’s job performance and 41 percent approving.

Poll: Majority of Republicans Want Donald Trump to Stay Active in Politics

Like he really cares about polls, it’s about an eye for eye, a tooth for a tooth

A majority of Republicans want former President Donald Trump to remain active in politics, a CNBC survey released Friday revealed.

While the poll, taken February 2-7, prior to the formal start of Trump’s second Senate impeachment trial, showed that 54 percent of Americans want the former president “to remove himself from politics entirely,” Republicans do not feel the same way. Rather, nearly three-quarters of Republicans, 74 percent, want him to stay politically active. Opinions vary, however, concerning what that looks like.

Forty-eight percent of Republicans, for example, want him to remain the head of the party, followed by 12 percent who want him to stay active but in a different capacity than leading the party. Eleven percent want Trump to start a party outside of the Republican Party. Republican National Party (RNC) chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has dismissed the rumors of Trump considering a third party launch.

“I’ve talked to the president [Trump],” she told Fox News in January. “I’ve talked to others around the president, who are talking to him every day. He’s not going to start a third party.

Democrats overwhelmingly want Trump to entirely remove himself from the political arena, and 81 percent and 47 percent of independents hold the same sentiment.

Jay Campbell, a Democrat pollster, said the survey demonstrates Trump still enjoys strong support among the GOP base.

“If we’re talking about Donald Trump’s future, at the moment, the survey shows he still has this strong core support within his own party who really want him to continue to be their leader,” he said, according to CNBC.

The survey, taken among 1,000 Americans, has a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percent.

While Democrats hope to convict Trump and prevent him from running for office again, a conviction in the Senate impeachment trial remains unlikely as 44 GOP senators voted against proceeding, questioning the constitutionality of the trial. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has reportedly told GOP colleagues he intends to acquit the former president.
