Trump’s failure to impeachment: the clean-up of the Republican turncoats begins
Trump's impeachment failed despite seven Republican senators turning turncoats and voting alongside Democrats to blame the President. The names of the seven senators in question are Collins, Murkowski, Romney, Sasse, Cassidy, Toomey and Burr. Now the party has begun the clean-up by the local constituencies of the GOP against their representatives.
Louisiana begins. The executive committee of the GOP unanimously decided to censor Senator Cassidy:
The Republican Party of Louisiana is deeply disappointed with Senator Bill Cassidy's vote on the constitutionality of the ongoing impeachment process against former president, now a private citizen, Donald J. Trump. We believe that an impeachment process of a private citizen is not only an unconstitutional act, but also an attack on the very foundations of American democracy, which will have far-reaching and unforeseen consequences for our Republic “.
Senator Richard Burr was censored by his own policy committee in North Carolina:
" The North Carolina Republicans sent Senator Burr to the US Senate to support the Constitution and his vote today to condemn (Trump) in a trial he declared unconstitutional is shocking and disappointing ."
Congressman Lawrence Tabas of Pennsylvania then pointed out that the active base of the party in his state is furious with Senator Toomey, so some action against him is to be expected.
The electoral committees of the other four senators have not yet pronounced themselves, but similar behavior is to be expected in the other constituencies as well. The first to risk will be Murkowsky who will have to reappear in 2022. Burr and Toomey do not intend to reappear.
Trump still has a lot of weight in the party and therefore will try not to re-present these Republican senators, by cutting their support in the GOP committees or by supporting candidates opposing them in the primary. One way to conquer the party and keep it under control.
