You need to think farther than the end of your nose. Do you believe there are 17 Republican Senators willing to commit political suicide? If they vote to convict Trump, how do they win their next election without Trump voters? Do you really believe Democrat voters will vote for a Republican instead of the Democrat candidate? Mitch was just reelected for 6 more years and he will most likely retire at the end of those six years, so he has nothing to lose. But it's not the same for Republican Senators who are looking to continue their political careers. It also sounds as if Democrat Joe Manchin will not vote for conviction, so they might need 18 Republicans.

You are so dumb. First) Senate does not reconvene until Jan. 19. Second) In the new Senate there will be 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, and 67 votes are needed for conviction. Third) After Jan. 20 Trump will be a private citizen and the Congress has no legal authority to try him. The only people causing chaos now are Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the rest of the insane Democrats in Washington D.C.
