A Jan. 6th Commission would rescue the G.O.P. from Trump.

[skip fox]

Most of the G.O.P. fear Trump, dread his re-emergence in rallies, and are paralyzed when thinking of his possible future run for office.

Everything we have seen suggests that he was complicit in the Jan. 6th resurrection. He either communicated with the insurrectionists (through Roger Stone?), was instrumental in the planning, and/or held back other law enforcement/military efforts to reinforce Capitol Police.

Republican senators realize this as well, and they know a bipartisan commission would uncover his role and make him unelectable in the future. (They may even refer him for criminal prosecution.)

So here is their chance to wake up from this fever-dream and cast off the Trump shackles.

All they have to do is vote for the commission. The G.O.P. could save itself today.

1. Yes it would

It would also crater them in the polls short term.

The MAGA crowd is a huge voting block for them right now. Turn on Trump and many will stay home in 2022. They know it. To stay in power they need to keep those nuts coming to the polls.

2. They only care about one thing. POWER. - They will feed the Racists, Q-Anon Nuts, Anti Vaxxers,

Religious bigots and all the other deplorables to gain and keep power. Its no longer about trump. They will never throw trump under the bus because they know that is not what the base wants. There was a poll this week that said exactly that. Over 80% of republican voters want them to follow trump's ideas.
