    Kinzinger is a good Republican, a Republican who stands for something. He, like Cheney, is not afraid to put country above his party and personal interests. We need more Republicans like him. Where have they all gone? Or were they never there in the first place and their integrity was never tested in the confrontation of a demagogue like Trump? I put this question to the forum for discussion.

    I think the evidence shows clearly that many of the Republicans in Congress and the Senate fear Trump, his base, his mean tweets, his threat of primarying them in the next election, which is why the Republicans in the Senate acquitted him in the last two impeachments.

    Unfortunately for Trump, in the upcoming Trials, his sycophants in congress and the senate won't be sitting on the jury.

    “I think there’s a lot of cowardice. And I guess I don’t mean that as just a pejorative attack for no reason, just to be mean. It’s like, it’s truly people, I think, fear — more than they fear death, they fear being kicked out of a tribe, and they fear losing an identity,” Kinzinger told PBS NewsHour’s Geoff Bennett.

    “And if you stand up against somebody like Donald Trump, and you violate this, like, intense feeling of a party, you’re going to lose both,” the former lawmaker added. “You’re going to lose your identity as a member of Congress. Some people just love carrying that around. And you’re going to be kicked out of a Republican tribe.”
