There is little doubt that the Repub’s will make lots of noise, and create plenty of smoke and fear at the Hearing. But by killing their own credibility amongst voters and sane Republican's, the party won’t survive the next election. Lack of credibility and an empty platform built only on Angry Opposition are already the reasons Trump is on the outside looking in. Still, many R's are doubling down on their ostracized leader. Good for them. This week was a perfect parallel—while MTG and McCarty/Trump got all the headlines, Joe Biden quietly put on an absolute clinic of Presidential proficiency, beating the raging Repubs 40-something to nothing in real world politics. The Raging RW minority didn’t get anything for their bluster this week or in November for that matter. But the chickenshit R’s can’t seem to figure this out.

House/Senate R’s caving in to appease tRump is a false economy for their party. Yes, some of the loudest, most passionate and radical voters are Trump’s base. But what Repub pols are not factoring into their math is that Trump energized Democratic voters like never before, too, far outdistancing the vocal RWWJ minority in the landslide victory. New Dem registrations were off the hook and an anti-Trump energy propelled the Democratic party in numbers like never before. Trump is and will continue to be a bigger catalyst for Dem pols and voters than the Repubs.

Now, huge numbers of registered Republicans switching parties. Corporations are divesting and social media shut tRump up. So while Radical Trumpettes may represent 2/3 of the Rep base, they only represent 1/3 of voters, and that number is falling. This math will doom the Repub’s at every poll despite all the noise. But like we see in so many abusive relationships, the Repub pols are still putting fear over facts as they cow-tow to the threatening members of the tRump cult. Like tRump, the party is valuing power over politics and it is foolishly staking its future on an angry, irrational, threatening mob of outcasts which resembles its leader in every way.

The R's would be smart to convict tRump, move on and get back to the business of the country.
