All eyes on Murkowski as decision looms on witnesses

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON -- After three pivotal Republican senators indicated Thursday night whether they would vote to call witnesses in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, all eyes turned to another Republican, Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

And the Alaska senator was turning to Visine.

“I’m going to go back to my office and put eye drops in so I can keep reading,” Murkowski told reporters as she left the Senate, pointing to two volumes of notes she’d taken during the trial. “I’ve been forming a lot of thoughts so that’s going to be my job now at almost 11:00.”

Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., had just announced that he would not join with Democrats in Friday’s vote on whether to extend the trial by issuing subpoenas for witnesses and documents.

2. If I were a betting man...

I would bet that they have twisted her arm more than anyone. Also, they have probably promised her the moon?

Because Trump does not want a 50/50 vote. He wants at least 51 votes.

Because he likes to brag. He would like to say he was exonerated and acquitted. That is a more difficult claim with a 50/50 vote.
