Hearing the GOP chanting 4 more years makes me ill. They deserve the wrath history has in store for them
Absolutely travesty. I agree.
Like I don’t even get the mentality. Give him 4 more years to be an incompetent ass that breaks laws, then we have a hard swing Left as history predicts every time. Happens every single time.
And then he’d set dangerous precedents. Based on his actions, calling systemic racism could be considered “a national emergency” similar to how Trump declared immigration one. Asking foreign governments for political leverage against the other party is now considered unimpeachable behavior. Obstructing justice is now not a removable offense.
Like, all non-Republicans have to do now to run for office is say “this guy voted to not impeach Trump while blocking witnesses” and they get at least Democrat vote and 25% of undecided.
Like I get having 4-8 years of a Republican president, but all we have to do now is think back and I can see us having 3-4 Democratic/independent presidents. Paul Ryan won’t run. McConnell will be laughed out. Romney has a fair shot but it’s so much bad press. I honestly don’t know if anyone but Romney and Ron Paul would be viable to even run and win against a Democrat for the next 12 years.
@@VVheeli They want Pence. Or Ivanka or Trump Jr. Think about that. The same Republicans who didn't want another Bush or Clinton now want a succession of Trumps.
Yeah, painful to watch a bunch of overconfident old pricks. But it will be a matter of months for many of them.
@@VVheeli you're so naive it's cute. Bless your heart.
Mitt Romey, the only republican left with a spine.
Thank you Mitt for voting you conscience.
I don't know. I feel like the Republicans are just preparing their most likely candidate for 2024, so they need him to have plausible deniability in this sham.
I WANT to believe he's got a Conscience instead. But I just feel the senators realized many members of their base would lose their faith in them after this, so they needed at least one of them to keep some semblance of credibility.
Totally theorizing here.
Mitt didn’t vote to convict on article 2
@@SalahEddineH I think you have something going on here with this theory
Yes anatomy wise he has a spine. He knew his vote didn’t make a difference, and he very publicly went on record during the primary in 2016. Definition of no spine. But heck! He’s gonna get his own planet later!
Why are you Guys praising a spineless wimp like Romney, he’s a businessman first
This line is the whole problem summed up:
"I believe that the President has learned..."
If you do a crime and the evidence supports that you did it, you get convicted. You are not acquitted from a court with a "The jury believes that the accused has learned his lesson by being in this trial, and propably won't do it again". Stupid American system.
Martin Eriksson absolutely! I guess now we could use this ‘impeachment trial’ as a benchmark when murderers, robbers and fraudsters are indicted. “Oh, I think my friend, Rob has learnt his lesson on stealing from people. So no need to find him guilty because he knows better now.” I mean, if the president of the USA can get away with his crimes then we should apply this to every American standing trial.
Dude, seriously, it’s disturbing how much this has become the norm. She gives Trump WAYYY too much credit and confidence in him learning anything when he clearly has demonstrated he has no moral compass whatsoever. He’ll be on his deathbed still insisting it was a “perfect call.” And you’re totally right, I’ve never heard of anyone going to trial and being ruled “we think they learned and won’t do it again.” You guys are jurors, not parents. You either are convicted or acquitted on the charges being accused based on evidence and whitnesses, you don’t let them off the hook because “ok you seemed to learn your lesson, but next time you’re definitely grounded with no internet for a week.” Just kidding, next time we’ll take a trip to Mar-A-Lago 🙄.
Well thank you!! Someone elsewhere in the world has better sense and correct evaluation of our sad situation when about 44 percent of Americans (Republican Trumpsters) hasn't a freeking clue!!!Good to know there's someone else around the world who can see right is right and wrong is wrong...What a concept!
america is a joke as a whole and will fall
John: I was drawn to Eeyore in a 90% unsexual way. Was John making fun of Cenk @TYT. John and Stephen seem up beat in light of the full acquittal. The full exoneration of Trump and Glenn Beck's bombshell report on the dems corruption leading back to 2014 is sending shock waves across America.

"JUST GIVE IT TO THE PERSON WHO GETS THE MOST VOTES!"
I agree with Mayor Pete on this one: Bernie wins Iowa :-P
it could all be so simple....
So the popular vote
Exactly!
Well it's technically so more rural Precincts have any incentive to gather up and Caucus in the first place.
When it takes you a half an hour to drive to your polling place and about an hour to do the actual Caucus, you tend to put it off.
I think Bernie is going to get more Delegates thanks to Caucus Turnouts however.
Mitt Romney said it best. Took the oath 👊🇺🇲
And honoured it too.... unlike the rest of the repugs, who don't deserve to be re-elected.
Romney is the only Republican left with balls and a conscious
And he's the only one of his party who kept it.
The other, supposed 'Christian' Republican Senators, took an oath on the Bible. They swore an oath to God and literally lied to Him.
The only thing he learned is, that when he does something of this magnitude the Republicans in the Senate will bail him out.
JC House of Bourbon the problem, in this case, is that this was not a backdoor deal. It was done in plain sight. In front of everyone. Trust me, we all know the system allows rich people to get away with a lot of things.
You Demo-rats can't beat Trump, so you tried this impeachment crap!!!!! Try again!!!!
He also learned how totally incompetent Demonrats are: you can't even set someone up right! Failtards!
Oh look the children are still up, throwing their poop around and thinking that they can play with the grown ups by using strong words.
@@xellos5262 your the goose not them.democrats have been like babies for the last 3 years.you have no hope this election.
No, he definitely learned a lesson. He learned that the vast majority of Republicans will continue to support him no matter what he does. The GOP is now officially above the law. Or more accurately, the GOP is now officially the law.
America's light is dimming; it no longer resembles the "City on the hill".
Even more accurately: Trump and those who support him enough, are above the law.
The GOP is the Cult of Trump now; any Republican who’s not in favor of Trump isn’t a “true” Republican anymore and is akin to a traitor to America now. Former supporters of Trump have been excommunicated from the Party, their careers & credibility ruined for daring to disagree with Trump or otherwise be “mean” to him. That’s why they acquitted him: they hate Trump sure, but he gets their base riled up with his rants so if they show him love then maybe his voters will re-elect them too!
@Michael Lochlann they were doing that when Obama endorsed the closest thing to universal health care that millions of Americans wondered why the US didn’t have yet while pointing to other less prosperous nations that did.
@@aztn19
Mitt is a true Republican; he has grit.
But most importantly, he is a man that deserves respect because he doesn't follow party lines; he has a moral compass.
I might not agree on everything he stands for, but I understand that he loves country over becoming another yes-man..
Republicans in office should take notes.
@@zacktrever1878 That's an understatement. I'd say it is being actively snuffed out.
I’m proud of Romney. And Bernie is adorable and so humble!
I don’t think any person on Congress is perfect but I am happy that one person still has his integrity.

Bragging at press conference about doing what Trump was accused of doing. That is going after political opponents. Ukrainian Prosecutor is investigating Hunter Biden. Either fire the prosecutor or your not getting the $ 1 Billion dollars. Why no impeachment hearings for Joe Biden? Where's Mitt Romney standing up for moral principles ? When it's Trump he's against it ? When it's Biden then nothing to see here ?
Been calling Romney's office throughout the impeachment process; as he is one of my senators. I'm glad to see him have a back bone, and do the right thing.
If he has a backbone, it's Jelly!!!!!
Sean, I think that Romney was the ONLY Republican Senator who voted as his constituents wished, and not how Moscow Mitch and Duma Donnie directed them to vote. The others, especially Collins and Murkowski, were bullied, bought and paid for.
Can you call him again and thank him for us? (And the founding fathers thank him, as well as the Constitution and the statute of liberty)
Thank you for doing your civic duty on behalf of all of us!
Hmm. Well then... I guess when he dies, he would rather be right with God... Than wanting to be right by Donald.
How the hell is saying "you did wrong and you might have to pay for it" and then just letting him get off Scott free going to teach this nimrod anything?
Maybe he should sit in a corner until 2030
Sad when a man has to rationalize and explain why he did thre right, moral, honorable thing to do.

He’s the only one WITHOUT a naughty closet. This is pretty obvious. Guess which Republicans have the biggest naughty closets? That’s right! Graham and Cruz. 😇
I remember he actually went to Kimmel pre-election just to advertise voting against Trump
He said he did it to answer his children when they asked him in the future "What did you do to stop Donald Trump?"
He is one of the few Senate Republicans I have respect.
@11:22 "So if a call like that gets you an impeachment, I would think he'd think twice before doing it again." Wait I thought the call was perfect and that he didn't do anything wrong ... so what's this "think twice before doing it again"??
Yeah, he'll think twice about how great it is that he can do anything in the world that he wants and how special and powerful it makes him feel, then he'll just go right on and do it.
Susan Collins always sounds like she's having a stroke. WTF is going on there?
Retirement recommended
She's actually Ed Wynn in drag.
23 GOP Senate seats are up on November 3rd, we’ll remember.
I hope the one that out of all of them to get voted out is Mitch McConnell he’s literally the worst thing ever, and also the Susan Collins and that other guy for there completely BS pathetic excuses.
@w9j15g Minus 1 for Doug Jones. That seat will surely be lost this election. It's not a very good Senate map this year for Dems.
Not likely. Not likely at all.

No, you put the least important state first to work out the bugs because no one will remember the small states. They now know the issues that will come up in bigger states with more on the line when it comes to lines, volunteers, collection of data, etc. It’s what every good touring manager knows to do. Look at concert tours, past elections, etc.
@@duchkal2 Bit rude to call Iowa the "least important state". And not true in regards to politics. Also not why Iowa was placed first in the caucus/primary season in the first place.
@@emilyb.8219 Wow you really love Iowa huh? This time you DEFINITELY were part of the problem thanks to the digital voting debacle, which has now shaken confidence in the DNC, once again. And yes, Iowa is an unimportant state--30th in GDP, less than 1% of the national... just accept it.
Emily B. I don’t mean it’s an overall unimportant state. I’m sure it’s great and the people in it are great. What I’m saying in all the states that they are going to, it’s the least important in terms of winning for the candidates. Last election, candidates even backed out of that state because the delegates numbers theyd get there wasn’t worth the effort of other states. This year, the race will be tight so every caucus counts so they are there. If you think that is rude or an insult, that’s on you and your inner feelings or demons.
I applaud Mitt Romney for having the guts enough not to talk out of both sides of his neck. Thank You Sir !
I hope that was it worth for you republicans. History will look back on you on this shamefull moment.
I really doubt that...at this point they will just change the history books, delete every record of the impeachment.
They do not and will not give a damn as long as they can call themselves winners.

They won't care as they and their legacy will be so loaded with embezzled tax money and the profits of their formerly illegal dealings that they'll be able to buy the power to control the entire population for generations.

Not if we let them write the history books.
In that case only history books written overseas will reflect the truth.

These “lessons” he has “learned” are merely how to cover his tracks better. I am absolutely at a loss for reality, really, when they can sign an oath of impartiality and then rub the faces of justice and liberty right back in that to smear it all up without fear of burden or consequence.
I am a liberal, whatever, but I can promise you that I appreciate facts and, at least, the effort of truth and leadership put forth on the people. If this were any other president, I would still be disgusted at how out of hand this is.
The line in the sand has now truly been erased. Anything goes. I never ever thought I would ever fear losing democracy.
Stop listening to the lies and spin. Go back and watch all the impeachment coverage from the very beginning and you will feel much better
The ironic thing is Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under Oath. Every Republican who voted to not allow witnesses, should be prosecuted immediately for violating their Oath to be a fair and impartial juror in the impeachment trial. Particularly the ones like McConnell and Graham who publicly boasted how they had zero intention of being a fair juror. Otherwise the Oath has been proven meaningless and literally inconsequential.

All ideology, when taken to the extreme, is bound to end in disaster. There are certain "socialist" policies that should be implemented but consistently putting too much power in the hands of a few people is bound to corrupt them. A certain balance should be in order
The Republican tactic is often to demonize and name tag unselfish, honestly good will and beneficial policies as “communist” or “climate hoax policies”. Is this not an elite construct?

Don't be so naive. Look deeper into him and don't take what he said for face value. Romney is as spineless as any other republican.

@@bosstowndynamics5488 You mean like the House? And that still doesn't make weighting and diluting votes for national elections based on geography acceptable.
Unfortunately the only way to do this constitutionally will involve making the States smaller or the states subsidizing their citizens to go live in the smaller States.
For example, if California paid for just 40000 citizens to move to Wyoming, they would swing two senators and one representative.
@Mark Dice no he's saying the 7.8 million citizens should not have the same senatorial representation as 130 million citizens.

Mitt Romney is thinking about his future, the other Republicans have decided to let the public retire/fire them.
Yup. I have never been so fired up for politics.
I made a list of all 52, the dates of their next three reelection cycles, cross referenced this year with the Cook Report, and am just about ready to volunteer for Ross LaJeunesse's campaign here in Maine. I think he stands a much, *much* better chance of wining a general election than the establishment Democrat (who will go over like a lead balloon up north).
There are 21 senators up for reelection this year plus 2 special elections. 22 two years from now (and a second chance to dump the special electees if they survive this year). 9 in four years. Romney not included, but he'd make 10.

Imagine you're in school and you're going to have a vote on what to have for the school treat. Pizza or hamburgers. So the teacher divides the class into different sized groups given different color names. Some groups have 2 people in it, some have 3, or 4, some have 6. But each group no matter how many people are in the group only gets one vote. Someone says no they shouldn't vote by group, but each person should individually get one vote. And your response is "If everyone gets a vote then the purple group will decide whether we eat pizza or burgers". Does that make sense to you?
Larry Berry you may have to dumb this down a bit more unfortunately.
To Romney’s credit, he did this because he’s an ethical man of strong principle, and the courage to live by his convictions even when it proves politically inconvenient (to say the least).
I don’t agree with Romney’s politics or his religion but I can’t deny the man is a Decent man of Integrity, with a Conscience that implores him to behave well so he can sleep soundly.
Which is a hell of a lot more than I can say about the rest of the Republican congressmen. The ironic thing is Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under Oath. *Every Republican who voted to not allow witnesses, should be prosecuted immediately for violating their Oath to be a fair and impartial juror in the impeachment trial.* Particularly the ones like McConnell and Graham who publicly boasted how they had zero intention of being a fair juror. Otherwise the Oath has been proven meaningless and literally inconsequential.
Yea, like I've said, in the end Romney would rather be next to god when he dies... Then next to Donald. When we back up a bit, look at things big picture, over all there's only a fue people who think they want to go with Donald. (Till they start getting to where they're going. Then they want off)

It was the Senate, where the Republicans hold the majority, that voted to block any whiteness and to acquit Trump. The Congress majority of Democrates voted to impeach against the votes of the Republicans.
So no matter where you go in US politics, Republicans have lost their moral high ground betraying their vote of office and are as guilty as Trump in their treasonous behaviour.
