I'm sorry, I'm just not seeing the math here

It’s a failed presidency, a bunch of people leading failed lives and think they are somehow owed something and a bunch of senators who claim a desperate fear or remain willfully blind to their constitutional duty.

Why are these people even in office? It’s clear they won’t do their duty under the constitution and they deflect to death threats and whatever else. Not one will plant a stake in the ground for the sake of the country and somehow think this will protect their re-election.

Yet, people put them in places of leadership TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP. They aren’t seeing it and that worthless president isn’t coming back and can’t reach them, the people who feel they are owed something were recorded on take chanting “Destroy the GOP”, so no votes there. And the thing that goes undone - THE WORK OF THEIR OFFICE - their constitutional duty to convict this monster and state unequivocally to the rabble that attacked the capitol that their actions are WRONG AND UNHELPFUL.

There is no strategy short of conviction and removal that serves any of these senators. For the rabble, there is no strategy, short of prosecution and conviction that serves any of these senators. Their failure of leadership in the very moment the country REQUIRES THEIR LEADERSHIP will forever shadow their steps. There’s no way I’m voting for a leader that hides, or one that cuts and runs.

Rand called the rabble that attacked the capitol ballast, the heavy weight used to right the ship of state. Weight jettisoned when more valuable cargo serves the same purpose. IT’S TIME TO JETTISON THE RABBLE. And her words cut both ways: If my representative fails to convict this EVIDENT CRIMINAL and that rabble, then it’s time for me to jettison ballast, the dead weight that seems to want to use my vote to cash a check in my name yet fail to provide me with representation. It’s time for my ship to sail to reach my destination without all the dead weight of worthless leadership and it’s time for me to provide new guards for my protection.
