there is a lot of pre-trump conservatism that still exists in the trump coalition. that makes sense, that the vast majority of trump voters are people who voted for republican candidates in the past. 68% of the trump voters in 2020 voted for mitt romney in 2012. many of the people who do not fit into either category are people who aged into the electorate in 2012. if you are between 17 and 10, you are eligible to vote in 2020 but were not eligible to vote in 2012. that is a group that is likely to be substantially more republican as opposed to party switching. 74% of the voters say the government does too many things that charities and private businesses could do better. that is kind of the top level antigovernment support that reflects the pro-trump consensus. even many of the obama-trump voters agree with this figure. strong support for the idea that government is too big, strong support for the idea that taxes are too high. 45% of trump voters believe that government should guarantee a minimum standard of living if people work to the best of their ability. that i

donald trump is wrong. but at the end of the day, this is about the republican party hoping that donald trump is potent enough in 2022 to help them retake the senate, to help them take the house and to help them in the next presidential election try to win the white house again. so, this is about politics, this is not about the constitution and ana, the problem is that the next president who follows behind donald trump is watching what donald trump got away with. >> ann, mcconnell's argument for his vote is that trump was const constitutionally not eligible for conviction. what do you make of that? >> yeah, i think that that argument was really strongly rejected by the house managers and, look, by the vast majority of constitutional scholars, as well. i mean, there's precedent for trying someone who is not in office, who is an executive branch member and also what we know is that the senate voted to go forward and the senate makes the rules under the u.s. constitution. so, i don't think that's the correct a

trump was president of the united states. he sought to overturn a presidential election that had been upheld by every single court to consider it. he spent months insisting to his base that the only way he could lose was a dangerous wide-ranging conspiracy against them and america itself. he relentlessly attempted to persuade his followers that the peaceful transfer of power that was taking place in the capitol was an abomination that had to be stopped at all costs. he flirted with groups like the proud boys, telling them to stand back and stand by while endorsing violence and sparking death threats to his opponents. he summoned an armed, angry and dangerous crowd that wanted to keep in power and was widely reported to be put on a hair trigger for violence at his direction. he then made his heated statements where it was clear and foreseeable that those statements would spark extraordinary imminent violence. he then failed to defend the capitol, the violence during an insurrection, denying a duty that was only possible becaus
