And when the Dems violate the rules and bring in electronics or get up and walk around, and leave the floor, what is the turtle going to do?

And will all the Senators who are running for president suspend their campaigning to sit quietly in the Senate chambers for a few weeks? I doubt it.

They are required to, and should they take a day off, they could be required to sit out of the rest of it.

If they are going to keep saying that they are "jurors" or "tri-ers", then they have to be there for the entire thing, or lose their vote.

I doubt any would do so while the Senate is in session. They will like do whatever they can between sessions. I wouldn’t expect any to travel anywhere though.

no need to suspend campaigns - McConnell said a week or more ago they will only meet 5 hrs or so a day for the trial, so senate can accomplish other work too.
