What a bunch of BS. There may be Republicans that fantasize about voting for conviction in the Senate but in real life they would be banished to the back bench for decades. All one has to do is look at the slaughter that resulted from Nixon’s resignation to see what would happen. The media would be only to happy to push whatever narrative made the punishment worse/ longer lasting.

Actually, in the election after Watergate, Ford lost by a narrow margin.
It was by no means a slaughter.
All Pubbie senators need to do is look at PDJT’s rallies and fund raising. Any one who dares even to consider voting to convict is sticking his/her head into a political guillotine and pulling the rope. Of course, Pubbie voters would be anxiously standing in line enthusiastically bidding for the privilege of pulling the rope.
What slaughter? I was born in '85 if that means anything.
But very unlike the Nixon case, any attempt to remove Donald J. Trump will lead to massive unrest. I’m not advocating it. Just a prediction of what the likely outcome would be if the votes of half the country were nullified by politicians in DC.
