42. YES, conviction of Trump by a GOP dominated US Senate is very unlikely--- ALTHOUGH

Tue Feb 17, 2026, 11:13 PM

Tuesday

Trump's 2nd impeachment trial over his inciting the J-6 insurrection
was the FIRST presidential impeachment trial where ANY senators EVER
voted to convict a president from their own party!

(6 Republican senators voted to convict him, although it wasn't enough)

((How many might conclude, in a third trial
based on his more recent crimes, that
'we would be better off without him going into 2028'
is still an open question...))
