Can you count?

Mr. Kurt Schlichter over at Townhall quotes the warriors to support his thesis that Trump will win again.  Largely because he can count to 67 - and without 67 votes for impeachment, we won't be able to remove President Trump from office.
And what I count to is a number that is less than 67. That’s the number of traitors to the Constitution you would need in the Senate to convict. 67. But right now, the count is about 50, maybe 49, or even 47 or 48. That’s the number of unAmerican creeps in the Senate who would vote to convict when the garbage Democrats in the house pass their garbage articles of garbage impeachment.
So, liberal elite, until you can count to 67, eat Schiff and die.
Let's take just a moment to reflect that Democrats are the party with no class and Republicans are the more respectable of the two.   "eat Schiff and die."  Oy. 

Anyway the other half of the story, and why Schlichter wants desperately to shut down this impeachment inquiry before it begins is that the more information that comes out about President Trump and his staff's dealing with the Ukraine government, the worse it looks.   So while yes, if the impeachment vote was held today, he'd get another term for sure.  But if its held after several months of investigation with all the facts laid out, the result would certainly change - President Trump can't continue to pretend there was no quid pro quo (well he can, and probably will, but it won't work). 

The real question will end up being how dumb do Republicans who support Trump want to look.
