The first line of Trump’s obituary has been written: “Donald Trump, the onlypresident in history to be impeached twice, died today…”
Ten Republicans voted with the Democrats to impeach him making it the most bipartisan impeachment vote in history, including Liz Cheney, a member of the House leadership. Now it goes to the Senate and while Mitch McConnell won’t take up the trial before the leadership changes on January 20th, he has said he hasn’t made up his mind about whether to convict.
The Republicans who want to purge Trump, and I’m sure quite a few of them do, are happy to pass the ball to the Democrats and let them do their dirty work. As usual.
And after Trump there is a whole lot of clean up to be done.
