How much did Trump spend to buy off 40+ Senators to acquit him?

What is the going rate to buy a Republican Senator?

The sad thing is, I doubt he bought them... They cheerfully and willingly support and love him for free...

@drymer Because they know his voter base is big, and they don't wanna cross them. As much as I hate the GOP, they play better politics than most. They know the number one rule is to always run towards your base. Half the time I get more upset with the democrats than I do the republicans because I'm SUPPOSED to be represented by the democratic party considering I'm a leftist, but the democrats love nothing more than to run away from their base at full tilt while giving them the middle finger.

@BlueMetalChick yes but the polls are showing that a lot of Republicans like a lot of Bidens plans for the country but they are standing firm with the 1 percent that they are true servants of and really don't care about the rest of them or the Democrats.

@fddlpej That doesn't surprise me actually, Biden is essentially a moderate republican.

@BlueMetalChick Look at how many banks are located in Delaware. Thanks to the friendliness of then Sen. Biden.

@SW-User Hence why Delaware is known solely for being a tax exemption.

@BlueMetalChick yes he has been almost all of his career. That's why I am pleasantly surprised at what he is doing as president.

@BlueMetalChick I totally agree with you maybe at this point in his career he is looking to go into history being compared to both presidents Roosevelts.

@fddlpej Well, I gotta admit, it is sometimes hard to criticize him since it feels so much better compared to Trump. Kinda like how Obama sorta sucked but coming after Bush made him feel better.

@BlueMetalChick yes makes you think that a poor Democratic president is still so much better than a Republican boob or crook that works for the 1percent and really despises the rest of us.
