Maybe we should just impeach Trump
welp we picked up one more vote…11 more seems highly unlikely
I can't even watch

Well… as predicted he was acquitted
We’re getting there! Seven Republicans
Looking on the bright side we can’t impeach again….
It will be interesting to see how it plays out with the American people….if at all
One is tempted to hope Republicans just signed their death certificate
So much pressure on Biden to succeed…

I don't believe Trump politics is going anywhere anytime soon. Those hoping people like Graham would turn their backs on him are horribly mistaken. Their constituents are still behind him.
McConnell has definitely hopped off Trump's lap, though. Did not expect that.

Lindsay is a coward and traitor. he just got re-elected to a six year term! He has nothing to worry about until 2026!
Same for most Republicans…
The excuse about your constituents only gets you so far… sometimes you have to exercise leadership
And who are his constituents? Only Republicans in South Carolina? No, all people from South Carolina a majority of whom wanted Trump convicted

Agree on most points and don’t get me wrong - I hate Graham. But he’s motivated to win back the house next year.

Oh I know we agree
the districts Republicans need to win back are arguably swing districts, right? Trump isn’t exactly popular there…that’s why they lost those seats in the first place (some of them they regained in 2020)
Take for example the district in NJ that Malinowski barely hung on to in 2020… that was a D pickup in 2018
The big Trump districts they already have… is your point they can’t hold on to them without continuing to suck up to Trump? A lot of those districts are blood red…I can’t see democrats ever picking them up but say look at districts in battleground places like AZ or big city suburbs… Trump is not that popular there
I’m guessing there are areas where Trump is popular but are currently under democratic leadership. Those are the targets. I haven’t t looked into where exactly they are.
But Graham will soon be on a plane to visit Trump and discuss these places. That’s a fact.

I should say…..he’s already said he is going to do that. And soon.
I don’t know where these magical pro Trump districts are which Republicans lost in November but now that Trump is a loser, cut off from Twitter, and failed coup orchestrator NOW will vote Republican with Trump not on ballot…
That doesn’t make sense to me
It’s going to come down to wether Biden is successful in confronting the covid and economy NOT Trump

History dictates that the Dems will lose house seats in the midterm because it’s happened consistently to the President’s party for the last 40ish years. But the one exception to that is interesting — Dubyas first term. And why did the GOP pick up seats despite all trends saying they should lose seats? 9/11.
There is an interesting parallel possibility for Biden there. If mass vaccinations are done by end of summer and boosters roll out smoothly next year (if needed) and the economy starts to rebound and schools stay open — that’s the path for more Americans to rally around Biden and a return to normalcy.

Definitely hope so.

Kinzinger’s family members accused him of joining “the ‘devil’s army’ (Democrats and the fake news media),” and extensively defended Trump against what they called “horrible, rude accusations.”
“To embrace a party that believes in abortion and socialism is the ultimate sin,” the letter said.

Ok but to put in perspective it’s not his parents or brothers..it’s a cousin’s family
Still whacked

I keep holding out hope that this fractures the GOP.
Unfortunately, there are 2/3rds of them who would be just fine if he was installed as dictator in chief
sadly their thirst for power seems stronger than a conventional democracy and they will go forward with the Qwazy Qaucus from here on out.

I can relate. My family may be a mess but the cousins are far worse.

Wouldn't you prefer four more years of Biden (or someone you liked more) via installation if the alternative was a democratically-elected Ted Cruz?

I reckon that's some good perspective. I don't have any cousins on one side of my family, and have neither spoken to nor heard from any of the cousins on the other side of the family in 35+ years (though i did find one of them on Facebook and discovered he's a dick loving Trump humper.)
