Is there a more powerful political position he could have?

  Yes, he could be a president with reliable support from the senate and the house. But that said he still managed to reach very far.

    Is that an option these days? When was the last time that existed? 2010?

      It seems to me (as an outside observer), that this normally happens for the two years after a new President is elected. Normally they don't get 60 in the Senate though, which means that the system is working at intended (you need to stay consistently popular for 6+ years to start swinging the Senate).

    He has extremely reliable support from the senate. They did everything they could to shield him from accountability during the impeachment process and prevented him from getting a fair trial. That's more than the senate has ever done for any other president.
