THIS.

Trump couldn't even get his executive appointments confirmed in a timely manner -- and the GOP had control of the Senate all 4 years.

It's pretty obvious that (1) 40 some odd GOP House members retired in 2018 instead of ran for re-election to help Dems get control of the House to run the 1st shampeachment; (2) if Mueller had found ANYTHING AT ALL, the Senate would have convicted Trump on that shampeachment; (3) Mitch did the "best he could under the circumstance" -- i.e, slow down and thwart Trump's executive branch appointments by spending all his time on the things he (Mitch) cared about -- judicial appointments.

Look how the GOP gave Trump the finger on that Consolidated Spending bill in December.

The GOP is just as complicit in stealing the election as the Dems are -- they wanted Trump gone just as much as the Dems do. They just want to pretend to oppose the Dems, not actually deliver results for us.

Remember the vote to keep Liz Cheney by secret ballot -- 145 House GOP voted for her. If this 2nd shampeachment was by secret ballot, all of them would have voted to impeach too.

Yep, you hit the nail on the head. GOP wanted him out, put up with him as an illusion for that a two party system exists to keep them in power and rich.

Bingo. They all hated Trump. They want to go back to the old way of things being controlled opposition, having cocktail parties with Democrats, doing backroom deals together, and being the minority party where they can shill for donations from concerned conservatives saying "Donate $100 Now To Stop The Democrat Agenda"

They are quite happy to be the minority party again with no power. Notice how many bills they are introducing knowing that they won't pass or even get voted on? Funny how they never pushed these bills when they had full power with Trump.
