I'm going to leave this here...

Since trump entered the fray we have grabbed on to little ephemeral rays of hope for eliminating him.
He’s not going to win.
Maybe some electors will not vote his way (EC).

Anything to boost our hopes...
Do we now hope beyond any hope that over this weekend the constant drone of unfair trial, sham proceedings and all the other descriptors of the farce that took place in congress this week changes some republican minds? The vote is Wednesday 4 pm. There is still time to get out there and try to shame some into reality.

With few exceptions, I would bet that GOP senators would have behaved differently if they had not been part of a chorus. Hanging together is what emboldens them.
