57-43 is a win, albeit a qualified one.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Those seven Republicans deserve some credit, without qualifiers. If you don't encourage folks who do right you remove the incentive to do so in the future.

1. Agreed. Clearly bipartisan.

And historic.

[sfstaxprep]

2. Whatever

This country deserves what it has coming to it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. No, WE do not. I live here, I'm part of this country,

and I don't deserve a senate that has its collective head up its ass, and neither do you. So now it's up to us to fix it.

[denbot]

10. FO!

[TwilightZone]

13. The country that just elected Biden by 7 million votes and handed us the Senate?

This outcome of this trial has nothing to do with "this country" as a whole. It has to do with 43 Republicans putting themselves ahead of doing what's right.

Nothing more.

[TexasLefty29]

3. Everyone knows

What the truth is. He’s the next OJ. but obviously, not the same.

[Walleye]

4. More than I expected. Surprised by Burr and Cassidy

[Mike 03]

5. Yes, that was a welcome surprise.

[spooky3]

9. Several DUers predicted Cassidy's vote --sorry, I can't find the thread.

Good on all 7 of them.

[MustLoveBeagles]

12. I had a feeling Cassidy would vote with the Democrats

Sentor Burr was a surprise.

[mdbl]

6. 43 Shithead Repuglicans weakened our country

Anyone else hate them as much as I do?

[denbot]

8. I'll kick for the quasi-notochords

Well, more of a twitch..

[Hortensis]

11. Agreed, and the 7 did it with the threat of assassination hanging over them.

It doesn't excuse all they are and have done wrong, but it's not exactly chopped liver either.
