It's important people understand from the beginning TRUMP did not having backing from republicans in congress. They allowed the Russia hoax as a way to control TRUMP with the threat of impeachment. Republicans didn't support the 1 impeachment because they knew they needed TRUMP to get re-elected in 2020.

It looks like McConnell is making a deal to impeach TRUMP in exchange for democrats keeping the filibuster. Mitch like Ryan would be willing to sacrifice the party for power.

This is a simple reality people need to understand going forward regarding making a choice to start a new party or take back the GOP. Of course if they do impeach TRUMP the choice will be clear.

But what is to gain? Trump is no longer a sitting President.

If.. they do impeach him (as in the Senate), it won't do shit... he is already out of office.

McConnell is probable done after 6 years so he's in it IMO just for $$$. The other R's who go along with McConnell are of the mindset that R's will vote for rinos as the lesser of 2 evils, so they work on trying to flip moderate D's. They think voting for impeachment will give them better standing with D's and the MSM.

This is why I lean more towards starting a new party because I haven't heard a realistic solution to on how to deal with the rinos who hold power over the GOP.
