Correct.
Except they are delusional enough to believe they can convince a majority of the American people and turn enough votes in the Senate.
They’re bat sh!t crazy and foaming at the mouth. Reason does not apply here.
Because everyone knows any Republican Senator who votes to convict, ends their career at that moment. Instantly.
AND they think it will solidify their base in the 2020 election.
Even Romney.
The fools had better believe you or face unintended retirement from politics.
What little third or fourth party would the RINOs win in? Know Nothings or New Whigs? There always used to be minority 1-2% parties like Uncle Sam Party and Greenback Party on ballots. Anti-Trump traitors could go there. But we would never vote for such trash again.
