I don’t have to have anything. You’re a fricking internet idiot.

You couldn’t identify a second order effect with both hands. You don’t know what epistemological or ontological means without a dictionary. You’re a dumb young person flailing about outside your depth.

I think the best path for the GOP is to distance itself from Trump. If they don't he is going to hold them hostage in 28 and that will cost them another election.

The corruption around Trump is staggering expose it all, show the voters that you will not tolerate it. If you don't and let the dems be the ones to expose it then what, defend it?

That’s what the GOP has been doing since 2015.

Yall are missing some parts of the argument here.

Well, that’s not true by any definition.

Here are the 7 who voted to impeach Trump in 2021.

Richard M. Burr of North Carolina, retired. Censured
Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, voted out in primary
Susan Collins of Maine, not re elected
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, rank choice is only reason she is still in office
Mitt Romney of Utah, Retired, would have been voted out.
Ben Sasse of Nebraska and resigned, cancer.
Patrick J. Toomey of Pennsylvania Retired

Overall, a career killer.

I agree and I think they might surprise us by actually not impeaching him this time. It backfired last time too.
If they were smart, they'd give him whatever he wants for his ballroom, throw in the arch for good measure, and let him spend his last couple of years playing architect. But Democrats are certainly every bit as capable as republicans of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

There is at least a plurality of the party voters who think party leadership is completely disconnected from their concerns and issues.

The Republican leadership might believe that they can quietly kill off Trump because that subset of their voters are the same voters who didn’t show up last week (unironically because they think Trump forgot about them).

The quickest way for the GOP to get those voters to not vote again is to participate in a leftist plot to attack Trump.

The GOP hasn’t supported Trump in any meaningful way since 2015. There’s no way for them to distance themselves from him more than they’ve already attempted outside of impeaching him.

But that will kill their support among those who support Trump still. That’s not an insignificant part of the base. I don’t think they’d be able to just say “Hey come back. We will represent you guys this time.”

It would mean an end to any semblance of conservatism at the national level. The Republican base would disintegrate into two factions: the MAGA faction would stay home or vote third party and the anti MAGA purists would align with the moderate Republicans and Independents. The problem is that coalition wouldn’t have enough votes to win on the national level thereby solidifying nearly permanent Democrat control. I don’t think it’s anywhere near a given he wouldn’t be removed from office: Murkowski and co. would absolutely vote to remove but getting to 67 votes is a huge threshold. I’d say there is a 25% chance it happens or comes excruciatingly close stripping him of any real power after that

They are convinced they ended MAGA and separated Trump from his supporters.

This would be suicide for the GOP. They'd never win another election for anything.

The GOPe is the controlled opposition wing of the Establishment Uniparty. They have no desire to remain in or reclaim power and authority. The last two years proved it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Some of us have been saying that it's been obvious since January of 2025 that the "Republican"-controlled Congress was deliberately trying to throw their majority away. And then they did it, though some still cannot/will not see it for exactly what it is.

Trump is going to spend the next two years vetoing everything, and it'll dry up their grifts and cash cattle. I think they (GOPe) actually do get some Collins/Murkowski/Thune types to vote for conviction and removal. Where it goes from there with Vance at the helm and [likely] Jeffries right behind him, use your imagination to see how ugly things can and likely will get. Buckle up, folks.
