    1. This accurately describes the tight-rope walk the GOP senators are doing. They know Trump is guilty as hell but they're trying to avoid convicting. Worth asking why.https://twitter.com/whstancil/status/1360273168968081410 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Will Stancil @whstancil
    The careful line the GOP caucus is trying to walk - “What Trump did was bad, he shouldn’t be president again, but we should still vote to acquit” - collapses under the slightest pressure. So press on them.

        2. Obviously there is an element of fear here. At a basic level a fear of the mob (i.e. death threats faced by Georgia Republicans when they upheld election results), more broadly political fear (Republicans who turn against Trump face primaries)

        3. Like so much else in the Trump era, the impeachment is going to lead to muddled and mixed results. It'll solidify anti-Trump feelings among Democratic majority (the evidence is damning) but also Trump's hold on GOP minority (they can't quit him).

        Well, it’s more that if they do convict him, they will likely be killed.

        They understand that their brand of conservatism will never have a democratic majority in the US again, and are desperate. Trump represents a morally acceptable way out of democracy for a lot of American voters and the Senate see this as extremely valuable.

        It would probably take about thirty to forty percent of those who voted in the general to successfully primary them and their number one guiding principal is they should be in the senate
