Pence calls Nancie’s bluff. Won’t use 25th
Trump wants to retain the dominant position of power within the GOP after he leaves office. There are others in the GOP who do not want that and want to take back that dominant position of power for themselves.
If Trump is barred from running for any public office again and is blocked by major social media outlets, it will be near impossible for him to retain a power position within the GOP. His influence will fade away fairly quickly. That is exactly what the Democrats and establishment Republicans want to have happen. That is why I think there is a decent chance that McConnell will engineer a conviction in the Senate.

Trump has an established following. He could get impeached, start a new party, and the GOP would fade away. Impeaching trump will destroy the GOP. It won’t hurt Trump very much.
Unless the senate hearings actually show evidence of trump inciting violence. Maybe they have some way to record those voices in the sky that some keep hearing.

Re: Pence calls Nancie’s bluff. Won’t use 25th
I am undecided on what McConnell will do. McConnell is a creature of the Senate. He just won re-election and probably isn’t going to run again. This may be all about legacy for him.
McConnell doesn’t seem like a guy who wants to spend the next 4 years kissing Trump’s ring. Also, if he doesn’t gather the 17 Republican Senators needed to convict Trump, he will have hung Liz Cheney out to dry. Maybe he will do that, but that means he is ending his decades long friendship with Dick Cheney. I don’t see that happening.
Starting a third party of Trump supporters is a lot easier said than done. The two party system is pretty entrenched in this country. I don’t see that succeeding either.

You guys are absolutely right about one thing. .....all any of this will do is piss of Trump. He said himself ...”I could murder someone and no one will care” and that’s how his worshipers feel. Dude can do no wrong.
I legit do hope he forms his own political party for a new run in 2024. He should call it MWStGP. I’m sure he’ll win in a landslide. It will be a beautiful win.
