Frankly, I'm torn between the Senate proceeding and just dropping it. I firmly believe he and others have a constitutional right to march on D.C. and say the things he and others did. I do not however believe he is responsible for the actions of the few dingbats who ruined it for a lot of others.
Where I have trouble with the whole thing is the Trump campaign should have stopped dead in its tracks on December 14th as soon as the electoral college finished voting. For the good of the nation it should have ceased to make any further claims to the presidency. It should have never ever began to cast doubt on an institution and system that has for over two centuries preserved the peaceful transition of power in this country. He should have been civic minded and man enough to publicly accept the outcome and step the hell away and try again in four years. Had he, he could have been a contender. But he didn't and instead let his ego blind him to what was happening and now its gonna bite'em in the arse.

So - Nixon did this in '60. If he had fought it, we likely wouldn't be where we are now.
Fact of that matter is that every single election has been rife with cheating, but only a guy who isn't a politician (Trump) was finally willing to call bull4hit.
If I were king for a day, every single elected official, every appointed bureaucrat, every single SES and military flag officer - they would all be thrown out.
The entire system is broken because everyone involved is a corrupt scumbag.
