There is an easy way for the Republicans to get out of the box they find themselves.

[kentuck]

They could stand up and apologize.

For Goodness Sakes, there are videotapes of almost every one of them, up to and including McConnell and McCarthy. There are videotapes of them pushing the "Big Lie".

They could say:

"Sometimes politics can become too serious in Washington. It becomes the most serious thing in our lives. I was wrong to not stand up and denounce the lie that the election was a fraud. It was wrong to go along with President Trump's conspiracy to overthrow an election, whether we were aware or not.

Our Party has caused great pain and harm to our country and our democracy. It is time for our Party to put country over Party. It is time to stand up like a man and admit our mistakes.

I am truly sorry I have not done it sooner."

Then, they could vote to convict the most dangerous person to ever serve in our White House.

6. Not on this one. :(

4. But Trump has Putin supplied kompromat on most of them.

5. There is only one strategy that will work. They have to stand up and do the right thing.

They need to convict to Trump.
Then they need to start helping the American people instead of their rich friends.

7. True ....so true,.... but don't hold your breath.

Contrition is not their bag.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Sure, that's going to happen.

[Silent3]

9. They could also invite the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny to the press conference...

...for all the likelihood this will happen in the real world.

[Ferrets are Cool]

11. You own me a computer screen...or at least a cleaning.

[7wo7rees]

12. Of course, you're right.

Of course, no one in the history of politics has ever said, "Sorry, I f'd up."
(Barring maybe Al Franken?) So, it ain't gonna happen.

[Generic Brad]

14. I simply want my senators to resign

Any apology from Blackburn or Haggerty would be hollow words unless accompanied by resigning in shame.

[Thekaspervote]

15. They need to lose more Ntl elections. We need to prevent them from retaking the house in '22

Until they lose, and lose continually it won’t change.

If they win the house at midterms they will only be more emboldened. We have to keep that from happening!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. The Radical Republican Reich will not do this. Their owners want destruction of democracy.
