And be limited. >> this guys not going to apologize, hes not going to confess. this guy says im right and you guys screwed me, thats his whole thing, aggrievement. >> and the important point here is like what is a post-impeachment donald trump is going to be like, what will his behavior be? and i guess my main point if in fact you believe as i do that donald trump is an existential threat we ought to treat him like that, and democrats need to treat him like that. dont just check the box because ...

>> because of the voters? but the voters were no bargain either sometimes, and what you have is the people who vote in republican primaries demand slavish obedience to donald trump. and theres no question if a senator did a secret ballot would be much more likely to vote no, a vote to convict, but theyre all afraid of losing their primary seats. think of jeff flake, you think of bob corker. the republican electorate, and what happens is the dynamic as the republicans get harder and harder in thi...

Pardoned. >> theyd also have to have a second vote to disqualify him. so they could remove him from his office but they dont get the votes to disqualify and then hed be able to run again. my last question for you, they are starting to reassemble in the room. we dont know exactly when its going to end or resume, as it does we will go right back to coverage. but from what you learned through nixon, through clinton, have you ever seen the presidents party in lockstep during a proceeding like this t...

Have some cracks or more moderation in some spaces here because you need 51 votes to move forward when it comes to process in the hearing. >> theres some soft support. i think if there was a movement for censure, i think youd see some republican senators actually move that way. to impeach and remove theres no chance of that happening now. you need a supermajority for that obviously and the senate -- even the soft trump supporting senators havent made enough noise to make that anywhere near a pos...

I think if -- if there was a movement for censure, i think youd see some republican senators actually move that way. to impeach and remove, though, theres no chance of that happening now. you need a super majority for that. obviously. and the senate -- even the soft senate -- soft trump supporting senators havent made enough noise to make that anywhere near a possibility. so i think its -- its interesting to look at the 31 democrats in the house who are in trump districts. new polling has it tha...

Senate, what we might call a road to damascus moment, but i do believe this, they have to be given the opportunity to do the right thing. i mentioned, and i dont want to beat this to death, but slavery was a crime against humanity, and we never resolved that issue. and now we are finding that people are weaponizing its invidious sion, hate and racism. and with that racism being weaponized, we are seeing other candidates starting to do it now. i regret what ms. haley has said about the confederat...

Court presides over the senate. the senators act as jurors hearing the evidence. and then after the evidence is presented and closing arguments are made, the senators vote, convict or not convict. >> all right, leading up to that meantime do you expect that democrats will look beyond ukraine in the articles of impeachment and look at the presidents overall behavior in office? what else might that entail if they did? >> yeah, thats a terrific question. some democrats really want to keep the artic...

And then the trial will take place in the senate. and then the camps on each side will be armed to the teeth, fighting to the death about whether this is impeachable or not impeachable, its not going to be pleasant. >> right, when you say a senate trial, why is that phrase used? weve seen hearings, inquiries and now we have a senate trial. how will that look as opposed to what weve seen so far in this process? >> so the constitution says that the house of representatives has the right solely to ...
