But the Republican base is still populist now, even as the average Republican is better off than the average Democrat. It's more of a nationalist populism though, but these are people by and large that support things like more economic stimulus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 I wonder if McConnell could be replaced minority leader. If the majority of Republicans in the Senate don’t like the way he deals with the impeachment and also blame him for the mess of the $2000 stimulus blockage then they could replace him. Seems unlikely, but if the GOP has a schism then you never know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't he be the caucus leader until after the 2022 midterms? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t know what McConnell’s objectives are or how much time he needs to rally votes. It doesnt matter anyway, the Senate trial will take weeks. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely goes against the "Trump is currently a danger to us" narrative to wait. Regardless oldschool's reply to my comment is gibberish. lol How is it Democrats' fault?

luvyablue256 Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 It makes no sense to start Senate proceedings immediately. It will take weeks to resolve and Biden needs to the Senate focused on policy and confirmations. Senate is better off sitting on impeachment until May Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
