    Even the Republicans hate what is happening in Iran. Bring in some sailors from the Lincoln to really hammer the point for those conservatives who don’t care about foreigner deaths.

    It’s worth pursuing regardless if only to point at the complicit GOP.

      I think there’s going to be a surprising amount of Republicans who will come out as anti-Trump but were too afraid to do so while MAGA was in power. There are most definitely traditional conservatives who hate him.

      I’m not gonna get my hopes up for too much, we’re not gonna fix this in two years. But you never know.

        I think it will happen at some point. Anyone not attached to the island could turn on him.

        What matters is the base and the GOP is a cult. Might pick up some retiring end-of-career votes though, people who don’t have to worry about primaries.

        The article says that Massie may bring impeachment articles as soon as next week. Given the drubbing that Republicans just took, and Vance’s statements that it is about the war, it is entirely possible that they force him out expeditiously, just so that Senate Republicans can have a say in his replacement.

        If he gets impeached after the new Congress is seated, then Democrats have a much larger say in who the replacement is. (Or, even not seat a replacement at all…)
