One thing that changed after the 6th was that Mitch, Lindsay and even Kevin McCarthy abandoned Trump very publicly. After that, Trump seemed resigned to not having any GOP support for a military-driven hold on the inauguration and perhaps had to pivot to a different plan.
I think Mitch and Lindsay were pretty transparent about everything. You knew they would turn on him when it was expedient to do so. I was surprised by McCarthy, though. I’m turning in my Republican card and going third party.
