Since the conviction, Republicans' views have shifted in a way that puts the guilty verdict in a more favorable light and keeps Trump's candidacy viable.

    It’s not a bipartisan issue. Democrats do not have the same slavish adoration for their leaders that Republicans do.

      They are actually claiming that genocide is the lesser evil, yes, they do have a slavish adoration for their leaders

        Al Franken quit. Bob Menendez is facing trial. Rod Blagojevich was convicted. Wiener and Cuomo were shamed from office

        Jim Jordan is still there. Matt Gaetz is still there. It took comic-book levels of evil to turf Santos.

        And then we have Trump.

        So no, being critical of your own team isn’t bipartisan. It may have been at one time, but that’s at least thirty years ago.

          I’m not claiming there wouldn’t be but right now that is speculation, right now. Biden is actively engaging in it
