Why McConnell Dumped Trump
This is a really insightful article about the split that's happening in the GOP. I think one of the key points of the article is that corporate sponsors have started to withhold campaign contributions from the GOP after the riots and the subsequent votes by hundreds of GOP members to try to toss out the electoral college results.
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out in the upcoming impeachment trial in the Senate. If Republicans continue to try to shield Trump from his attempted insurrection attempt, they risk losing a lot of corporate sponsorship and they'll alienate themselves from independent voters.
If Republicans vote to impeach Trump, they also risk alienating themselves from Trump's supporters, but at least they can prevent Trump from running again in 2024 and prevent him from starting up a third party, both of which would be devastating to the Republican party.
