      I don’t think that’s quite true. I think without some bad seeds, the pressure for Collins and others to acquit Trump would have been less present and the political incentives would have been totally different. I don’t think Collins is a Trumper.

      But she *is* a coward, and she won't be a firewall against any future authoritarians, either. There's no non-tainted wing of the party left to support. The institutional capture by the crazies is complete, so it's time to impose an electoral price for it. Over and over.

      So, you think a Democrat will stand up more against a future Democratic president than Collins will?

      I don't think a future Democratic senator from Maine will be facing a Democratic president betraying the country to foreign powers and shredding the Constitution on a daily basis, so I reject the premise of your question.

      You're just gonna go full D talking points now to categorically exclude all threats to the nation so long as they are not specifically Trump, eh? This is how Team Blue corrupts, and corrupts completely.

      I have said that Trump is compromised by the Russians, that he is a threat to rule of law, that he consistently shits all over the Constitution at will, for years. You're just worried now that it looks like Trump will take the GOP down with him. Which I also said would happen.

      You call them "D talking points." I call them "the Trump record."

      "D talking points" is the idea that systematic assaults on our Constitution are totally fine so long as they are done for different motives & ends than Trump's. You want to ensure that no Democrat ever faces any checks whatsoever.

      I'm sorry, is your assumption 1. That Biden will be the same menace that Trump is, and 2. that the Senate must be in the hands of the opposition or there are no checks? Did I miss the part where you argued for electing Dems in 2016 and 2018 to be a check on *this* president?

      This is really lazy argumentation, Dan. "Hey, assume that Joe Biden is *also* a sociopathic anti-constitutional authoritarian who's compromised by a foreign power. You think Chuck Schumer's gonna stop him?!" I'll take my chances, thanks.

      So, your view is that so long as he's against our constitutional structure for ideological reasons, that's OK? Because that is the ideological commitment of the D party writ large. That is my bottom line: it's easier for Rs to get a new leader than Dems to get a new philosophy.

          Frankly, most of what I find alarming about Trump is attitudes & practices he imported from the other party. I want that stuff out of my party. Joining the other side would be endorsing it all, permanently.

          Rs could have easily gotten themselves a new leader a few months ago, and could have made sure the current one would never be a serious problem again by disqualifying him from ever seeking federal office in the future. They instead chose to stick with this one.

          Fair, but I think the current GOP philosophy is solely “own the libs with lower taxes and more talk about abortion”. But mainly “own the libs”. The way they ran from free trade appalls me. And the way the up and comers ignore covid science appalls me.

          If that were true, they would have done it in February.

          And here is the heart of the Republican rot for the last 30 years: branding the Dems as completely illegitimate rather than an equal partner with whom to seek good-faith compromise on actual governance and policy.
