Some Democrats and Trump-skeptical Republicans are confused about why more Republicans don’t support impeachment. The GOP has survived worse scrapes. And surely the Republicans secretly want to be free of their capricious, unpopular, not-really-that-conservative president now that they have gotten a bunch of judicial appointments out of him. Why not join up with the Democrats and get this thing over with?
The answer lies in the incentives Republicans face in the long and short terms. CONT.
