Going after never Trumpers seems like a good way to lose a number of senators. I’d imagine >50% of GOP senate staff, including most or all of McConnell’s staff, are never Trumpers. These are important members of the “deep state”. Trump always plays in the moment, but always puts himself in a worse position.
Now a process to hold him to account is underway and he’s betraying allies, encouraging adversaries, stripping congress of power, and upending decades of “consensus” foreign policy with no plan. He is fucking with McConnell and making his life miserable more than Barack ever could. I really cannot imagine that he hasn’t permanently alienated 20+ GOP senators.
And, say if he manages to escape impeachment with a 40-60 vote, how is that any different than actual impeachment. It’s arguably worse for the GOP.
