I did try to employ empathy in my reasoning. Say I'm Thom Tillis in NC, and I have to defend a 2% margin two years from now. I'm only going to join the other anti-Trump Republicans if they've already got 17. I simply can't afford to be on the losing side if that's for impeachment.
Sure, there's a partisan element. What's wrong with that? I can do better for my (R) party by holding the NC Senate seat, than handing it to a Democrat for the sake of signalling my rejection of FORMER President Trump.
Maybe I was a bit dismissive. It's a nothingburger with spicy sauce, and a shit sandwich on the side.
Thom Tillis isn't up for election in two years.
