The truth of it is, is that Trump could have laid a steaming turd on the floor of the Senate watched by everyone, and 40 odd Republican Senators would have applauded and acquitted him for doing so.
Those 43 GOP senators are worried about the Trump base (some of whom, it appears, didn't even vote!) but perhaps they should be more worried about the voters nearer the middle of the political spectrum.
Also, the democrats need to do in other swing states what they did in Georgia and get more people registered.
