      Replying to @SethAckerman

      The idea that it’s ludicrous to think Trump will be a GOP kingmaker (or even nominee) in 2024 seems ludicrous to me. Can disagree on likelihood, but don’t see what makes it implausible. The Senate GOP didn’t consider Trump the leader of their party in 2016 either; not up to them

      i mean, there is a margin of shitposter’s hyperbole in the word ludicrous, but directionally i feel good about that call. it came at a moment when the conventional wisdom was saying the opposite, that it was ludicrous to think the party would reject him.

      Only 10 Republicans voted to impeach in house, only 7 to convict in Senate. That doesn't feel like a rejection to me.

      I think the party looked closer to rejecting him on January 19 than they do now. McConnell was floating that he might vote to convict back then

      Is there any reporting on what (if anything) changed? It could be they got scared of his popularity, or on the contrary that they decided they have nothing to fear, he’s going to fade away and convicting would only delay that process. Former seems more likely to me but idk.

      Lots of backlash in local Republican parties against anyone who impeached or even criticized Trump.

          Replying to @SethAckerman @HeerJeet and

          I agree with Eric, if anything recent events strengthen thesis that Trump has influence: House GOP's handling of Greene; state party sanx against impeachers; McConnell deciding to not flip on Trump; just 7 voting to convict; Hawley seems fine. Doesn't mean it will last ofc...

          I do find your HRC analogy interesting. Voting to disqualify her from office over her emails would not have been seen as a smart move by Dems who didn’t want her to run again in 2020, because the base liked her and thought the emails were BS, and because why bother?
