Some may shudder.
Close your eyes and imagine this. Trump invited foreign interference in our Presidential election again -- the first time in 2016. Trump tried to bribe a foreign leader. Trump completely ignores Congress (Obstruction of Congress). Trump is declared innocent of all charges by the Republican Senate.
Trump is elected to another four years in office without the concerns of reelection which dominated his persona since Jan. 21, 2017 the first time.
He would be the most powerful man on the planet, and he would be unleashed. Already he ignores the American people. Answering only to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and "Fox and Friends," he avoids press conferences and the White House press corps. Now we add Congress to the list. He will simply ignore what our representatives do and say. Already, Trump has hijacked the power of the purse, thanks to a complicit Congress.
He will rule with complete impunity for four more years (or more). That is the power the Senate will give him, and why? Because they are scared of Trump's base.
The irony is, I don't think his base will like what will happen. They don't want it to happen.
But they enabled it! The real Pandora's Box. The real be careful what you wish for! Does McConnell really want this?
