Because a vote is a vote, a person's reasons, integrity, character, standing, those things meant nothing to him, were not part of his filter. Twump's a loon, period. They have to ban him from ever running again or this country's toast. The founding fathers were face palm, period if the Senate fails to convict.
BTW (in a special effort to remain OT): Is it "official?" Twitter's "permanent" ban on DJT? I heard some weeks ago that they were reconsidering it (a routine procedure?). Did they reject reconsideration of his ban, effectively making it iron clad permanent???
