Senate Republicans must convict and remove President Donald Trump from office because he will continue to cheat and abuse his power to attempt to stay in office, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Monday in his final argument for ousting Trump.

You cant trust this president to do the right thing, said Schiff, the lead House impeachment manager. Not one minute. Not for one election. Not for the sake of our country. You just cant. He will not change and you know it.

What are the odds if left in office that he will continue trying to cheat? Schiff added. I will tell you: 100%. Not 5, not 10, not 50, but 100%. If you have found him guilty and you do not remove him from office, he will continue trying to cheat in the election until he succeeds.

Schiffs remarks were clearly directed at Republican senators like Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) who now say that the House impeachment managers proved that Trump abused his office by withholding military aid and a White House head-of-state visit to get Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden , but still say that they wont vote to remove him from office. Instead, they insist that the voters should decide in November.

Alexander went further on Sunday, telling Meet the Press that the fact that Trump has been impeached should chasten him.

If a call like this gets you an impeachment, I would think he would think twice before he did it again, Alexander said . Hopefully, hell look at this and say, OK, that was a mistake. I shouldnt have done that and shouldnt have done it that way. And hell focus on the strengths of his presidency, which are considerable.

Alexanders suggestion that Trump may change was clearly the target of Schiffs argument.

To make his point, the congressman ran down the history of Trumps efforts to encourage foreign governments to interfere to help him win an election and then his maneuvers to obstruct the ensuing investigations.
