If he isn't convicted, a bunch of Republican senators will have discredited themselves in the general election.  If he is convicted, we will be rid of Trump.  It is worth putting up with a little theater.

The only Republican senators running the risk of being discredited and removed from contention are the five who are directly associated with another Democratic run shit show.

Seems to me that they are mostly discredited already, will lose the primary if they fight Trump, will lose the general election if they don't, and are somehow traveling up (expletive deleted) Creek without a paddle.

I think that's why McConnell has finally decided that taking the hit now beats taking it just prior to an election.  He's praying that 17 Republicans will purge the party of Trump.  If the Dems were as cynical as McConnell has been, they would sit on their hands, and force a majority of Reps to 'convict' before they finish the job.

And you're right.  No matter what they do, the Reps lose in some fashion.
