How does this effect the GOP’s chances of winning in the future?

These are going to be some of the bluest decades in American history if Democrats can run on this, correctly. That means emphasizing the terrorism element of this, not letting it go down as a protest.

I am literally crying because of this, how far it's come. I came from a country with no democratic standards. Others have fought and died for democracy and the rule of law and these terrorists are attempting are tearing it to shreds.

American politics doesn't need to be like this. But some do insist that it must be.

I don't like his politics, but I kinda respect Romney's rage.

You and your family spend generations fighting for your party to serve as a basic alternative to the Dems, and while you lost in 2012, you left the party with a fairly promising future; all for this nightmare to happen.

Is there an actual source on this?

You typically don't bring zip ties to a coup to tie your own hands together.

Aforementioned "last out of the room" hero Jason Crow:



I missed the original story, what did he do?

He and a few other of the Congressmen with military experience helped to barricade the floor and secure all of their colleagues and calm them

Several big names supporting it as well. Very good chance we might see it.

To review up to now:

The House and Senate began their meeting to certify the electoral college votes. Votes were being counted until Arizona was reached, where Rep. Paul Gosar objected. The Senate and House then broke into debates about the objection.

Protesters stormed the Capitol Building, resulting in chaos. One woman has died of a gunshot wound, and upwards of 20+ people have been arrested.

Things seem to have calmed at least at the Capitol, however, the crowd is refusing to leave in defiance of the curfew.

House Speaker Pelosi says the certification will continue tonight, despite the violence. CNN reporting the Senate may gather at 8PM.

Some centrist Republicans have called for the activation of the 25th amendment or Trump's resignation, while Rep. Ilhan Omar has started the process of Articles of Impeachment. Rep. Cori Bush is also starting a process of expelling Republican members of the House and Senate who "supported the coup", such as Senators Cruz and Hawley.

Who are the "big names" supporting impeachment?

After this, I would predict full House Dems in addition to blue-state/centrist Republicans in the House, and in the Senate the full Dem roster, Romney, and likely more centrist Republicans. This isn't the Ukraine phone call where it was questionable to flip - this is the moment where Republican Senators can salvage any human decency for the sake of the future of the party.

CNN: GOP source claiming Trump is "...out of his mind", stopping the certification vote is "...all he can think about". Does NOT believe the cabinet will execute the 25th amendment, but the idea has been entertained.
