    This is a valuable thread on how even Republicans who despise Trump (publicly even!) still are reluctant to support impeachment. The barrier of partisanship is stronger than people realize.https://twitter.com/TimAlberta/status/1197692945970946048 …

    Something I’ve been thinking a lot about today, re: Will Hurd, the GOP, and impeachment... Recently, Mark Sanford, perhaps Trump’s fiercest intra-party critic, told me *he* had yet to see sufficient evidence to impeach; that if he were still a House R, he would be voting no. 1/

        The @GOP will Never vote for impeachment. All they care about is that a Republican is in the white house

        They'd give up on democracy before they let go of power. They'd be happy for us to be more like Saudi Arabia if it meant they never had to give up power again.

        It’s pretty simple. They want to run for something in the future, and think voting to impeach will make that impossible.

        The barrier of partisanship is way, way more disappointing than people realize. My rep is a former FBI agent that led the Campaign Finance and Election Crimes Enforcement program. He voted against the impeachment inquiry.

        Oh please. It’s not intellectual. They are political cowards, period. Or nuts like Stefanik.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        For years, going back to at least 2003, I have thought it was because Republicans have no sense of shame that they would allow bad things to continue. However, they used shame politically after finally snaring Clinton. So, it's just a double-standard where they must benefit?

        These are, from top to bottom, bad-faith partisans chasing dollars or votes or both, nothing more. Trying to make it into something deeper is a waste of time.

        Sanford isn’t opposed to impeachment. He opposes to impeaching a republican. He’s a partisan hypocrite posing as a principled thinker
