They could easily have banned him from politics for life after J6. McConnell could have easily whipped the votes to get that impeachment thru the senate, and yet he didn't. He himself even voted to acquit in the end. Why?
Did you watch the impeachment? How cow, that was the most transparently illegitimate proceeding I can even imagine. Trump’s lawyers were flabbergasted. So was I. It was absolutely terrible and embarrassing. I guess they were hoping nobody would watch it.
And yet it still ended with an acquittal for Trump. Look past the performance and politicking and see the actual. McConnell could have whipped the votes to quite literally ban Trump from ever holding office again, and yet he didn't. Why?
I guess my point is that it was so bad that even they couldn’t feign legitimacy and convict. It was just that bad. Anyway, I do agree that Mitch probably could have found another way to ban Trump. Why? My guess is that Jan 6 didn’t go off the way they hoped and they didn’t get enough of public support to pull it off without major backlash. Obviously I don’t know, but that’s my guess. 1/6 was not the calamitous violent eruption they were hoping for.
