Yes, some of the TrumpubliQan co-conspirator Qonservative traitors are refusing to take their constitutional duty seriously, and are making an intentional display of disregard (and disrespect) for a serious presentation of a serious crime against our democratic Republic.
The Democratic House Impeachment Managers’ stellar performances and air-tight case may attract a few more crossovers, but if Republicans still refuse to convict (which is likely), the Democrats are also building the case to the American voters that they can hit those voting to acquit over the head with in coming elections between now and November 2022 (and beyond).
Those from multi-generational political dynasties such as Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney are very conservative, but they are also very shrewd and politically strategic. They can look ahead beyond two weeks or even two months and see that, by the time they come up for re-election, their stand in support of impeachment and conviction will be seen as a “profile in courage” that was way ahead of its time, while those who stood with Trump will also get dumped with Trump in a political bloodbath of unprecedented proportions.
One of the main appeals of Republicans to the American heartland has been their claim to “law and order.” The lawless rioting incited by Trump is one of the things they are most terrified of. Republicans have dishonestly used that against Democrats, but those who stand with this most lawless of presidents will now be revealed for the frauds they are, and middle America is not going to like it.
