I still think, if Trump is actually impeached, there’s a decent number of Senate Republicans who would vote to convict because they would want to run against Pence in 2020. Cruz, Rubio, and Paul are high on that list. Romney and Scott are sleepers in that regard. Sadly, that only gets us to 52 votes, so we need 15 more before these folks would be willing to break ranks.

Any GOP Senator who voted to convict Trump would be viewed as a traitor by the GOP base and have zero chance of winning the GOP nomination for President.
