One does wonder how many Republican Senators are privately wishing they’d shown enough backbone and respect for the Constitution and the rule of law to join with the House and the Democratic Senators to take Trump off the stage following January 6th. If one compiles all the public denunciations many of them made against Trump going all the way back to 2015 and after the riot, the rampant hyprocrisy of their refusing to convict him at least at his second impeachment trial is so blatant as to beggar the imagination.
Republican senators apparently calculated that angering MAGAs would be bad for their political future individually, and that rallying around Trump was the surest way to bring the party back into power. Tragically, their gamble paid off for them.
