10 House Republicans voted to impeach....

10. That is up from the 6. Some had a change of heart. I wonder if Stenny Hoyer hit a nerve.

Can Senate Republicans follow suit to impeach?

1. I seriously doubt we have enough to convict in the senate

We only got 10 out of 200+ republicans in the house. I doubt we can get 17 (?) in the senate.

2. This has to send a message to McConnell.

Voting NOT to convict will brand Senate Republicans COWARDS and SEDITIONISTS.

That is how they will be remembered. Their legacies, tarnished forever.

3. The GOP senators who will be voting after Biden is POTUS will be forced to look @ the evidence ....

... and they will be in very tough spot.

4. In six days we control both houses and the Justice Department

There will be a mountain of evidence and a real trial.

5. I feel like House Republicans are more pro-trump than Senate Republicans

For example, roughly 2/3 of the Republican caucus voted to sustain the challenge to Pennsylvania's electoral votes, whereas there were only 6 senators that did so.

I've been reading that there are maybe 10-12 Republican votes for conviction in the Senate. Better support than the House, but still short of what is needed, as you pointed out.

6. There are 211 Republicans in the House of Representatives

That is Trump's party. There is no split or reckoning or principles.

7. This is actual leadership

These ten and the senators who join them will form the core leadership of the New GOP.

Democrats can run against Republican Sedition for decades.
