WASHINGTON—The dramatic conclusion of former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial laid bare deep philosophical rifts between Republicans, as GOP senators splintered not only over the question of Mr. Trump’s guilt, but also the future of their party and Mr. Trump’s role in it.of inciting an insurrection on Jan.
The rest of the Senate Republican conference—43 senators in total—voted to acquit Mr. Trump, but not without some angst, reflecting a party schism that also has fractured the House and will likely play out in primary elections in 2022 and 2024.Sen. John Thune , the No. 2 Senate Republican, said as he left the Capitol: “It’s an uncomfortable vote and time will tell, but…I don’t think there was a good outcome there for anybody.” Mr. Thune also voted to acquit Mr. Trump.
This about sums it up for the GQP.
The divide is purely spouted by the media and has no foundational facts.
Trump would do well to stay in the background (probably not possible) and bank-roll Candace Owens as president.
SpeakerPelosi chuckschumer PLEASE! form an Insurrection Commission, much like the 9/11 Commission. InsurrectionCommission
There have always been rifts in the coalition of the Right. Conservatives, Libertarians, Social Conservatives, Paleo-Conservatives, Neo-Conservatives, Business Conservatives, Nationalistic Conservatives. Conservatives have had active discussions going back to WFB's early days
There is no room for criminals or their supporters in the GOP! All must be eliminated from the party!
IT IS A SHAME WHAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE DOING WITH THE MORALITY OF THE COUNTRY
Actually, it's simple, if Trump winns next elections, USA, you have a problem. I would put that dude behind the bars forever for the worlds sake. Your democracy went too far USA. It's a thin line between your democracy & civil war ..
There are no riffs. Just exposing the socialists within the party

WSJ MURDER was committed on Capitol Hill & the instigators Donald J Trump, Ted Cruz, etc... are not being held accountable or arrested for their actions, instead they played to the impeachment hearing to get away with MURDER! There’s 340 million witnesses as to what happened on 6
SARS2 origins resume as of today: • zero evidence of zoonosis • strong circumstantial evidence of possible lab leak • Chinese authorities behaving as if they are covering up a lab leak rather than truly investigating SARS2 origins That’s it. Draw your own conclusions.
WSJ, As Donald J Trump left his MAGA supporters hanging along WITH their continued arrests & trials for assaults and MURDERS! After Mitch McConnell voted NOT TO IMPEACH he said it best to all MAGAs that are still being arrested; “It’s not your fault, you brought it on YOURSELF!”
21 year ol’Disha Ravi arrested & sent to 5 days police custody-her crime-allegedly editing tool kit shared by GretaThunberg, educating people on the farmers protest & how best to support-in a democratic,peaceful way. Shame on our Govt for trying to silence the best of our youth.
Regarding Trump's spineless Senate enablers, I offer thus bit of presidential wisdom: 'The man who can look upon a crisis without being willing to offer himself upon the altar of his country is not for public trust.' - President Millard Fillmore
Trump 2, DC swamp 0. Facts are troublesome things, aren’t they?
GOP Senators do not have a say in Trump's role in the GOP. It is the deplorables who will define Trump's role as the GOP folds in fear of Trump's base.
No. One. Cares. Get the relief checks and vaccines out.
Jury were victims, trial at the scene of the crime but white old Republicans voted not guilty. Now want DOJ to do their dirty work! No Mitch deal with Trump on your own! Teflon Don is back!
Please, maybe 10 of those Republican Senators truly voter there conscience too convict Trump the other 47 don't want to lose there voters, which, voters with the Trumpism mindset, how the hell can u lead on all inclusion for Americans wanting their votes,u can't and keep it real.
The GOP needs to dump Trump.
And who else is a Criminal...LawEnforcementToday LawEnforceToday Former police chief: Now that we now know that Cuomo's administration buried nursing home data to keep it away from federal investigators, it's time to criminally charge him in the deaths of countless Americans.
If the Republican Party was smart instead of spinelessly stupid, Trump would not have a role in their party. He has ruined & destroyed the GOP & they allowed him to do it.
There was no splintering or deep rifts in the GOP! It was just the same RINO’s as usual! They need to be voted out when their time comes!!!
the republicans: subvert truth, science, and democracy it's self! to stay in power.... they sold their souls to special interest.... dems, too liberal? the declaration/constitution; and the founders, did not give up their slaves........ 'the love of money is the root of all e***!
Scorpions 🦂 in a bottle.
ABOVE THE LAW ACQUITTED UNDER the cowardice of some republicans who rather save their political status, the financial security to pay their mortgages and their kids vacations OVER the death of true patriots who saved their azzes while they ran to hide like pussies like Ted Cruz
They have no future.
They tried to impeach him on day one, they claimed 'Voter Fraud': the Russians. Mueller was presented as a God. We never heard Mueller speak during the whole investigation. He had a Army of Democrat lawyers /investigators. $41,000,000 In the end and they find nothing.
While the rest of the country is split on the role of the Republican party in the future.

Nothing but political theater to keep us all looking at Trump and not at Biden, and provide talking points for the the 2022 midterms..our government is a joke and you are all complicit
Illegal immigrants would do more right to the country than the GOP. This is a blackeye on democracy.
The rifts will only deepen as Trump emerges in the coming weeks and months. My hope is the principled GOP can survive.
GOP rift is a made up story by dying media, Trump has 80+ % approval among republicans. Yawn.
If the Dems had such a strong case—why didn’t they call any witnesses? This was their one chance to get rid of the big bad boogie man and they failed. They were afraid to call witnesses because Nancy and others would have get on the stand and they couldn’t let that happen. Dems?
they are blind he is a downward spiral just like them taking polluters money that has led us to face human extinction. was it worth it to take their money and lie to the world for them? is it worth it to support a polluter rapist type? NO.
If they were concerned, they certainly didn't help themselves, because by not convicting, they definitely left the door open to where he has a future in the party and most likely will run again, so this is all on them.
This reader would argue Pres Trump's 74M voters would determine his future role.
Only the GOP that are part of the Swamp.
President Trump wins again. The Democratic Party in total disarray.
It wasn’t the trial that deepened GOP rifts. It was the attack on the Capitol that Trump incited. A bridge too far?
Trump is liable for the deaths of covid deaths and affected Americans - he knew and did nothing. Also he should be charged for the murder of those killed in the insurrection. Guilty for dereliction of duty for not keeping Americans safe.
Clearly he is not the future of the G.O.P.; you need someone with integrity who can garner respect
No “splinter over his guilt”; get over ur selves. They ALL knew he was guilty; they just chose NOT TO VOTE THAT WAY. This is pure politics & ideology, PERIOD. The cowards chose bc they want to remain in power. The acolytes bc they HATE everything other than self righteousness.
Great and historic news for America! From now on, this senate has confirmed that future presidents can entice violent insurrection to object to the legitimacy or the results of an election with impunity. Revolution will be coming thanks to GOP!
No you have always been had those RHINOS in the Party. You know who they are .
The GOP values Trump’s voters more than the Constitution.
GOP will have ongoing rifts because some are never Trumpers from beginning, will see in mid term elections the direction of GOP party hope though that they unite on pushing conservative policies and ditch Trump.
Out of the 56% poll conducted by ABC Poll of Americans wanting to impeach Trump- only 15% are GOP voters and 90+% Dems, rest are independents. Also from beginning GOP suggested censure over impeachment so it’s very telling what will be the outcome, no surprise here.
His lawyers said there was an insurrection after/during his rally..
you must be gutted 😂😂😂
2:0
There is NO FUTURE. OVER 7 MILLION OF US OUTNUMBERED YOU NOV. 2020 AND WE WILL DEFEAT YOU AGAIN AND VOTE YOU OUT ONE BY ONE!! YOU SEALED YOUR FATE OVER A SOCIOPATH. FOOLS.
Captions says it all.
There’s simmering insurgence within GOP. With his stranglehold on GOP by sheer strength of his ravaged base of white supremacy apologists, evangelicals and QAnon, Trump has GOP politicians in hostage. His influence is metastasizing deep and wide, decaying fabric of America.
