      I agree with basically all of this. But again, unless & until there's sufficient public support to get anywhere into the neighborhood of 20 Republican Senators being on board, it won't happen & we're all just spinning our wheels. https://twitter.com/BryanGividen/status/1197196374787448832 …

      The duty of conservative commentators is to say what is true & obvious: Trump has abused the powers of his office. That doesn't mean we have a duty to yell at GOP Senators for not engaging in a suicide mission their voters don't want, when the voters will soon enough have a say.

      As I've said before, if you have a practical plan to get the voters on board with replacing Trump at the head of the GOP, I'm all for it. I'm casting a protest vote in the primary. But I do not see the bipartisan popular support that historically is required to remove a POTUS.

      Isn't that what political leadership is for? Senators have six year terms for a reason.

      23 of them are up next year. Look, I dislike this as much as you guys do. I'm just being realistic. How quickly did the voters get over "read my lips" or the Gang of Eight?

          What's the argument for convincing Susan Collins, Cory Gardner, Thom Tillis, Joni Ernst, and Martha McSally that 2021 would be a great year to start a new career outside of Congress? Until there's an answer to that question, this is all moot.

          Also, that's only 5 votes. You need 15 more. Where do they come from? Public pressure from the pundit class can matter in getting the last vote or 2, but we simply cannot conjure an entire movement out of thin air.

          Maybe. You're assuming talk radio & Hannity et al don't spend an entire year denouncing them for doing this. There's an entire class of people with big megaphones who are deeply invested in "the Establishment robbed us" narratives.
