They'd need 21 votes (9 republicans must join 12 democrats). Any republican who voted for impeachment would be crucified in republican primaries. And they KNOW it.
Democrats could have stalled and prolonged things by voting against dismissal, but it looks like they threw in the towel on that. The prosecution looked incompetent.
Ever since Paxton came into office they've been trying to ruin his reputation through a rumor war. All they did was "did you hear about this AWFUL thing he did?" When asked what he did they'd just keep implying it was awful but never tell anyone what he did.
So the accusers were dragged out and force to put up or shut up. Say what he did or SHUT UP.
The trial forced them to show they never had anything on him. They were just using rumors and gossip. The senate trial was controlled by Dan Patrick who has always been a solid conservative here in Texas. Trump has posed with him giving a big thumbs up and grin next to Dan Patrick.
Now that the rumor war is put to rest, Ken Paxton can use his powers of AG to investigate the corrupt who have been trying everything to stop him.
Was there any doubt? No crime just like President Trumpjust a diversion
Impeachment was impossible.

Absolutely on target! 🎯👆
Ken Paxton can use his powers as AG. Dan is LG.
BTW - you are spot on with Dan. He was the only TX state official to attend the last Trump rally in TX.
