CMV: There is a zero percent chance 20 Republican Senators will be convinced to convict President Trump during an Impeachment Trial

I’ll give a brief ode to our self-evident hyper-polarization simply because there’s a minimum word count to these posts. 

Because the Republican base gets its news from Fox and increasingly OAN and Breitbart, and view anything else as Liberal propaganda, red state Senators have no motivation to remove Trump from office, no matter how internally disgusted they may be, because they will open themselves up to a backlash from their base, especially the most rabid members who are also primary voters. A few in unique situations (Mitt Romney) or purple states (Cory Gardner) may even feel comfortable voicing support for a vote to convict, but even they will probably not vote Yes unless they are assured there are 66 other Yes votes. Why open yourself to ads from a potential primary opponent from the Right if he won’t be convicted either way? 

And THAT’s if McConnell even allows a vote to be taken. He may very well pull a Merrick Garland maneuver and table Impeachment proceedings in the first five minutes after the House votes to Impeach. 

No, the only way Trump will be removed from office prior to January 2021 is if he does something far beyond the Ukraine call; something so obscenely heinous that the Senate would have political cover to vote unanimously in favor of removal. He’s going to have to do something akin to shooting someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue.

Edit: I could have worded my CMV more clearly, although I intimated that the stipulation was “given the current circumstances” when I say at the end that some extreme development is going to have to occur. That said, I am conflicted about rewarding deltas given that no one changed my view beyond the semantical argument that the percentage is non-zero. Given the current circumstances, I believe it to be zero.

He wouldn't be convicted in an impeachment trial even if he confessed on the Senate floor.

However, if his polls look as though they are going to drag down the rest of the GOP, it becomes likely that the GOP leadership tries to broker a deal where he resigns ala Nixon.
