@gtconway3d Republicans must answer to their constituents: if trump’s refusal to concede defeat and fomenting followers to negate election is not impeachable what is? Facts are there. A vote to acquit must be explained!
In the Presidential Transition Act, Congress expressly found that any “disruption [in] the transfer of the executive power could produce results detrimental to the safety and well-being of the United States and its people” — including those who voted against the apparent winner.
I’m so looking forward to coming back to an America free of harsh words and name calling and be amongst people who I know have common ground and harmony. It’s a challenge but it can be done!
A demagogue can win an election & become president. He can hold the base. But if checked and constrained by Republican elected officials and business and opinion leaders, the damage he can do is limited. The capitulation of GOP and conservative elites is the story of these years.
