It is the rare politician who utters a word or takes a stand without first knowing in advance what will be the reaction by the people in his district. Things are field tested and vetted, often to the exact words to be used and the tenor of the voice using them.
So I am somewhat perplexed by the Republicans who voted in favor of impeachment the second time. I would have thought such an action would be political suicide, and we all know the last thing a politician is is suicidal about the gravy train he rides.
But these people voted for impeachment of the titular leader of their party with only a few days left before he was to be ousted anyway. So what gives? What do these people know that I don’t know? There is no way they would have voted the way they did unless they were certain it would benefit them personally. I find it baffling.
Does anybody have an idea of why they would stab Trump in the back and twist the knife for good measure?
