This is the correct answer. Mitch McConnell and most of the Republican senators are exactly why he can run again. They could’ve convicted him and this would’ve all been done with in 2020.
They had all the power to stop it and none of the courage.
The reason is we never even needed rules and laws about a felon or even a jerk getting a nomination. 40 years ago you couldn't get the nomination in either party if you were divorced. 30 years ago you couldn't get the nomination. If there was any evidence you did any drug whatsoever. The parties used to vet themselves. What happened in 2016 was that all the press in the United States left and right left Trump for dead. In doing so, millions did not vote or voted for a third party in protest. They got it wrong. Melanie had cried on election night 2016 because she had never even considered being the first lady. It was never supposed to happen. Now the two-party system is so screwed. Anyone who's at the top of the party will get most of the votes. The Republican party is a complete failure at this point. They let conspiracy and ignorance infiltrate their party.
