Just so we’re clear if there was any doubt of the existence of something still standing called the Grand Old Party that was extinguished during the first day/night of an event which won’t resemble anything vaguely resembling a real trial.
There is no drama as to if Donald Trump will be convicted by the likes Little Marco Rubio, Lyin’ Ted Cruz, Sissy Boy Lindsey Graham, Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell, or even Mitt Romney for that matter.
The only positive the Dems will glean from these proceedings is Bernie Sanders will be locked up for a week or so and won’t be able to further damage his party’s chances for the White House for a brief period of time. Maybe the strategy moving forward for the Dems is to keep Bernie locked up until Iowa is in the books.
But there will be no trial.
What there will be is a sequence of bullshit which will be overseen by Mitch McConnell to mitigate as much damage as possible to Donald Trump’s senators who are up for re-election in 2016.
The margin of 53-47 can’t be a shock for the simple reason that since Day 1 of Donald Trump’s presidency there hasn’t been one viable sign other than John McCain that there was a GOP member of the United States Senate who would openly challenge Donald Trump in public on anything.
With John McCain’s passing evidently the party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, and perhaps Bush 41 decided it no longer existed.
That political party no longer stands. It is officially dead and it died when on the last amendment of the night proposed by the Dems which would have allowed GOP appointed Chief Justice John Roberts to decide on witnesses and evidence allowed… it was voted down by a straight party vote.
What does it say when the Dems have more confidence in John Roberts than the Trump Zombies?
Roberts was nominated to the Supreme Court by George W. Bush who will go down in history as the last president of the GOP as we knew it.
What is left standing is a new party with a new abbreviation…. as in POT. Party of Trump if you will.
This is a party which has no party presidential primaries. No presidential party debates. No other party member allowed to question the legitimacy of party ideology outside of the inner circle of the Chief Grifter.
Call me cynical if you must, but this is the way I see it as I sit with eyes a glaze at what I just witnessed. That being, the official death of one of America’s two major parties for the time being.
Evidently every Party of Trump senator is terrified of Donald Trump and what he could do them in a party primary if they ever cross him on anything whether it be pussy grabbing, interfering with an election, or obliterating the Constitution.
This party is to Trump what the system in Russia is to Putin. Laugh at me and tell me I’m wrong. I hope and pray I’m wrong. But I don’t think I am because this was the chance for all the Never Trumpers in the U.S. Senate to have their moment of inner courage and conviction.
Sadly…all fifty-three slithered into the D.C. early morning darkness as the genuine political cowards they have truly become during the past three and a half years.
GOP…rest in peace.
