Mitch McConnell is one, and he still pulled weight with other Repukes in the last impeachment vote. If Chump gets a 3rd impeachment trial, I believe he would finally be convicted and removed from office. It has never happened before so we would be swimming in some scary waters if it gets to that.

However it's scary knowing Chump is still holding onto power (plus all the grift) after all the damage he has already done so far. I believe the US Congress (mainly the Senate) needs to pull up their big-boy pants and get this done.
