Republican jeopardy of marginalizing the 7 who voted to convict Trump

[no_hypocrisy]

If Republicans continue to make this group pariahs politically, socially, etc., these 7 can easily become the face of Biden bipartisanship. They will pass legislation that the Republicans seek to stall or defeat. They will be the players, and others may join them in time.

1. Let it be so.

2. It would be remarkable if those 7 stick with the Democrats

I'm not counting on it, though. The tribalism is too strong.

3. Not if "the Tribe" continues to punish you with censure, no funds for re-election, etc.

You'd be surprised how far fidelity lasts when your own hates you.

4. Utah gop defends both senators

"Our senators have both been criticized for their vote," the Utah GOP wrote. "The differences between our own Utah Republicans showcase a diversity of thought, in contrast to the danger of a party fixated on 'unanimity of thought.' There is power in our differences as a political party, and we look forward to each senator explaining their votes to the people of Utah."

And yet there are some in Utah who still want to censure Romney.

5. Good point!! Let's hope it goes that way

[Wounded Bear]

6. Would be nice if a couple of them vote with Dems...

that would give Manchin and Sinema an out on their "principled" stand against the min wage increase.

Not counting on it, though.

7. A positive scenario!

Let's up it comes to fruition.

8. 17 GOP held Senate seats are in play for 2022; it's our opportunity

... to win a super-majority if the Democratic Party can snag those seats.

No GOP incumbent deserves to be re-elected. Not one.

It's up to us to turn this around, we need a BLUE WAVE in the Senate in 2022.

9. Every last one

of the Republican senators should’ve voted to convict this would be totalitarian dictator who mounted and led an insurrection against our country. These gutless dirtbags know it too and all they could think about, was holding onto their power and status and didn’t give two shits about doing the right thing. Trash.
