In the wake of last week’s insurrection, the GOP old guard floated some trial balloons for de-Trumpification. The bulk of Mitch McConnell’s Senate caucus voted to certify the Electoral College results, and criticized the president for his role in putting their lives at risk. The Senate Majority Leader has subsequently let it be known that he is open to the idea of voting to convict Trump in an impeachment trial, even if the president is no longer in office.
This is no small problem for the GOP. Its association with Trump was already doing grievous damage to the party’s brand, especially with college-educated voters, a demographic that is disproportionately likely to turn out for midterms and donate to campaigns. Now, to be associated with Trump is to be associated with lawless disorder. And that is not likely to change as further details about the Capitol Hill riot are aired.
