Evangelicals have no reason whatsoever to continue wrongminded support for evil Donald Trump

Maine Writer opinion - All Republicans, who ignored the evidence against Donald Trump during the excellent prosecution presented by Rep. Schiff and the Democrats who led the Senate impeachment trial, were voting on the wrong side of history. (Yes, that includes Senator Susan Collins!)

Donald Trump is guilty of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Fred Rand published two echo opinions in the Mississippi newspaper Jacksonville Free Press in Mississippi:
"I Quit the Republican Party! I Will Now Work Against GOP, Trump"
"Southern Evangelical: Trump 'Fits the Scriptural Definition of a Fool'": Honorable Richard Burr and the Honorable Thom Tillis.
"I Quit the Republican Party! I Will Now Work Against GOP, Trump"
"Southern Evangelical: Trump 'Fits the Scriptural Definition of a Fool'": Honorable Richard Burr and the Honorable Thom Tillis.

You may have read the Jan. 17 letter calling on Richard Burr and Thom Tillis to do their sworn duty and hear the evidence U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff and other House managers presented without prejudice or partisan motives in Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
The long epistle ended on what are sound, Scripture-based, conservative reasons to question Evangelical support of Trump with a solemn pledge of my own:
"This should be a search for the truth, which all Americans can support. I urge you to take up that debate and represent in word and deed the best interests and the will of all Americans."
If Senate Republicans fail to honor their sworn oath to support and defend the Constitution and find out the truth, I must withdraw my membership in the GOP and work against Republicans in November. I am one small voice, but I will raise that small voice as loudly and frequently as I can to call out hypocrisy and hold our elected leaders accountable for their actions. I believe God will support my cause and strengthen my lone voice through my faith in Jesus Christ and my belief in His Truth."
I tried to withhold my personal judgement in this trial until all arguments were made. As I said in my last column, I thought that the House managers easily won their case. Even some Republican senators, like Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, credited the Democrats with a win on the facts. But, I struggled in anticipation of what dawn would bring our republic. Would the GOP senators come to their senses and hold this president accountable?
As comments by GOP senators came out on social media, the message was clear. The Republican Party is now under the complete control of our new national dictator, Donald J. Trump. In the most horrifying display of self-abasement ever seen in the proud history of our country, the United States Senate has proven itself to be spineless cowards. This was a choice they made. And they are blindly leaping to their political deaths like the lemmings they have shown themselves to be.
Now they have to live with it.
