Not unexpected, still another nail in the coffin of the former Grand Old Party which has almost completed its tranformation into the Great Orange Party.

Key takeaways: With acquittal, Trump wins battle for the Republican soul

WASHINGTON — The Republican civil war ended on Feb. 13, 2021. Donald Trump won.
The decision by most GOP senators to acquit Trump in the 57-43 vote on charges of incitement of insurrection on the Capitol demonstrates that there is little appetite in the party to denounce the former president or his brand of politics.

Fear, and shamelessness. The landmark features of the GOP. With former Republicans beign a small majority in the GOP only, they should break away and found a third party. The damage is FUBAR - and it will continue to mount. It will not give them the win in coming elections, but it will prevent victory to the orange legion, taking too many votes away from it, likely. That at least is a cause to follow that shows integrity.

For those Republicans who still have an echo of a memory what "integrity" means. Many it will not be.
