    I’m sorry, but after everything we’ve seen over the last decade, this comment is WAY too optimistic.

    Republican senators had the golden opportunity to rid their party of Trump at the tail end of his first term after he lost an election and incited an insurrection.

    They didn’t.

    The only hope I can see is that they recognize that at this point he could literally keel over dead any day and they may be planning their exit strategy. But I’m pretty sure that’s just “slide Vance in” and they don’t really need to do that until Trump is actually dead.

    I’m sure they’re concerned about the mid-terms but I don’t think their strategy for improving their image before then is getting rid of Trump. I think they have other plans for that. They’ve hitched their wagon to him. And he owns the hearts and minds of every racist, sexist, ignorant piece of shit in this country. And there’s A LOT of those motherfuckers out there. That’s valuable to their party.
