Each of them should just admit they are Democrats at heart and switch parties.
That is wildly premature, and almost certainly wrong. The author is equating a vote to proceed to trial — which is what a somewhat squishy Republican might do — with a vote to convict, which is where the dividing line for GOP v. Rat is really going to matter.
It’s hardly premature. It’s been 3 full years of non support of POTUS from the GOP Senate. Low lights of GOP Senate obstruction and coup collusion include the Mueller coup protection act and the threats not to fire Sessions.
How long should we plan on waiting for substantive support? If not now then when?
The key vote will be whether to convict or acquit. That will be the moment we know who is a Dem at heart.
