In Trump's second impeachment trial, Republican Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania voted to convict the 45th president.

Some Republicans who voted for acquittal based their vote largely on procedural grounds, not the merits of the case. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, for example, said Trump was responsible for the riot and suggested the former president could still face criminal charges.

"President Trump incited the insurrection against Congress by using the power of his office to summon his supporters to Washington on January 6th and urging them to march on the Capitol during the counting of electoral votes. He did this despite the obvious and well-known threats of violence that day," Romney explained in a statement.

Collins faced a fiercely contested senate race in Maine last year due to her support for Trump's judicial nominees, but broke with her party over the former president's actions during the Capitol riot. She explained her vote to convict from the Senate floor.

"I was one of the 74 million Americans who voted for President Trump, in part because of the many accomplishments of his administration. Unfortunately, his behavior after the election betrayed the confidence millions of us placed in him," Toomey wrote in a statement.

Cassidy originally said he would dismiss the trial on the grounds that it was unconstitutional but then switched his vote in the past week saying Trump's lawyers had done a "terrible" job explaining the matter.

Social media has required a reconstruction in the way political campaigns are run. Statistics from social media use has shed light on its effectiveness as an instrument to campaign politically. At the exit polls on election day (6 November) 69% of the people who voted reportedly used social media to promote the fact that they voted at the 2012 presidential campaign.[11] This statistic means a lot more when looking back at the percentage of adults that utilised social media in the 2008 US presidential election which was 37%.[6] Facebook has its own method of promoting the election campaign by giving its users a method to share the fact that they voted on other people's newsfeeds, this feature was used by a large number voters. The researchers at Pew research center reported that out of all the registered voters a percentage of 55% have utilised the Internet to watch videos related to the election.[6] 22% of registered voters have used Facebook and Twitter and other social media platforms to let their family and friends know how they voted.[6] There is also a difference seen in the voting tendencies of liberals vs. conservatives and in the way they utilised social media; 79% of liberals report using social media while on the other hand 60% of conservatives admitted to using social media. On the other hand, the percentage of liberals using Twitter is 25% with 10% moderate for those voters that frequent the social media site sharing their thoughts.[6]

But for all its reliance on data, the 2008 Obama campaign had remained insulated from the most important methodological innovation in 21st-century politics. In 1998, Yale professors Don Green and Alan Gerber conducted the first randomized controlled trial in modern political science, assigning New Haven voters to receive nonpartisan election reminders by mail, phone, or in-person visit from a canvasser and measuring which group saw the greatest increase in turnout. The subsequent wave of field experiments by Green, Gerber, and their followers focused on mobilization, testing competing modes of contact and get-out-the-vote language to see which were most successful.

In response, a number of conservative figures have hit out at Romney, a frequent critic of Donald Trump who was the only Republican who voted to convict the former president at both of his impeachment trials, for siding with the Democrats over Jackson's election to the Supreme Court.

"Mitt Romney can vote for KBJ but won't endorse Mike Lee. He is a disgrace to the conservative movement," Swain added, in reference to the Utah Senator who is also up for re-election this year and who has the support of Trump.

Brigitte Gabriel, author and founder of the anti-Muslim group ACT for America, added: "A vote in support of Ketanji Brown Jackson is a vote in support of lenient sentencing for pedophiles. This vote needs to haunt Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski in future elections."

And that was real thing, the idea that friends can influence your behavior. So the campaigns obviously are targeting their friends, the people who like them on Facebook, in an effort to get out the vote.

Maher is not just unfairly, and hypocritically, defining the Democratic Party with backbencher votes and stray tweets from woke progressives. He is actively pushing false information about what these progressives are actually doing.

The Seattle City Council has not voted to decriminalize crime. Last year, one city councilor proposed an ordinance allowing dismissal of most misdemeanors if the defendant could prove that the crime was driven by poverty, mental illness, or addiction. But the proposal was met with widespread opposition, including from the mayor. A formal bill was never drafted. The issue never came to a vote.

Romney is a fraud, tax cheat who has nothing in common with most Americans other than having a wife and children. He wants me to trust him with my vote but he doesn't trust me to see his tax returns. He is talking about how bad the American economy is yet it never occurred to him how many jobs his millions and investments in foreign countries would have created at home. He said he knows how to create jobs but his experiences at Bain Capital was all about acquiring, bankrupting, and flipping businesses for massive profits. Romney is a milliom miles away from the truth and trust...

Listen folks, this is simply a racial issue. White America does not want a black president ...period! The republican agenda was not to cooperate with the president and make him a one term president. Romney has disrespected the President time and time again. No one complain but the minority voters. then you have these bigots like Donald Trump, Ann Coulter and the rest of the pundits saying these off color comments. It's the same argument over again. 1. Whites did not discover America; the Native Americans where already here. Africans were bought here for cheap labor. Everything the white élites touch, they destroy. These Republican super Pacts will be the death of America if ALL of us do not remain vigilant. 2b1af7f3a8
