      She has less support, and even an unsuccessful vote would divide Republicans when they currently have razor thin margins in Congress…

      Like, obviously

      Probably because they anticipate having the votes in the House (and the support of enough of the Senate) for Noem, but not for Trump himself.

      OTOH, this gives Trump a second shot at a new person. He’ll probably nominate Ken Paxton…

        Good.

        Have the vote and force them to vote against impeaching.

        Might as well flush em out now ahead of primaries. There’s more to these votes than winning. It’s been normalized for too long that we shouldn’t have a vote unless it’s guaranteed to pass.

        Make people put their votes out there for everyone to see

          Amen.

          Let them clearly show they support the brutal and oppressive tactics. Then there’s no debate when this is finally over as to who stood up and aho didn’t.
