@classickruzer1 If Trump thought he could beat Dems, why did he feel he had to extort a country to dig up dirt on them??

I know. How dare the Democrats impeach Trump for corruption even though republicans didn’t like it

@trainz8769 The most powerful country on earth is not going to get destroyed. What you mean is that you don't want other countries to catch up to us.

Vgpl0 In the history books, it will say that Republicans didn’t want to hear anymore bad news that might incriminate their favorite president.

Josh Johnson They impeached him because he — of all people — was trying to rig the election. If Trump knew Democrats were trying to impeach him, why give them a golden opportunity?? If Trump murdered someone, would you support his removal from office?

sulfier bloodline Democrats failed because Republicans do not feel there is anything too extreme for Trump. Tell me something: what could Trump do that would make you support impeachment...?? My point exactly

Josh Johnson Yea I could bring the evidence, but Senate Republicans would probably block it... JUST LIKE ALL INNOCENT, NON-CORRUPT PEOPLE DO.

@joshjohnson2600 I just realized something about Republicans. You don't actually care if Trump is guilty. This is just a game for you. Like a sport...but politics. And you are rooting for your chosen team no matter how immoral and no matter what rules they break. And you justify it by accusing Democrats of being 'just as corrupt' and 'snowflakes' because they tried to hold your team accountable.

@joshjohnson2600 Democrats already had almost ALL of the facts from the very beginning. That's what made this impeachment so simple. They had the whistleblower report and Trump handed them the call transcript thinking it would exonerate him (that's how warped his mind is). Everything else was just a formality. Republicans just refused to listen because they don't want him removed. Also, here is your proof of a crime. And it actually was plastered all over the news: https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=EP40XojYCYnNtQaKmIT4Dg&q=gao+trump+law&oq=gao+trump+law&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0.463.2326..2454...0.0..0.97.842.13......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i131j0i10.QAGR6apDFIY&ved=0ahUKEwiIoMjNwa_nAhWJZs0KHQoMAe8Q4dUDCAc&uact=5 That's why I don't think Republicans actually care if Trump committed a crime. Just another excuse that belongs in the trash.

Rabbi Jesus The Dems only blocked the whistleblower and Hunter Biden... for obvious reasons. Republicans only wanted to expose the whistleblower (who was right on every allegation) and Hunter Biden had no information on what Trump did (they just wanted to damage his father). Republicans didn’t bother to call any first-hand witnesses. It’s not the Dems’ fault that there were no witnesses who could exonerate Trump (because Trump is guilty). So enough with the mind games. We all know he did it. Btw, Republicans were free too call whoever they wanted in the Senate to exonerate the president. What happened? John Bolton happened, and everyone believes him over Trump. Too bad Republicans in Congress don’t have a spine to punish cheating in their own party. The Republican Party will forever be known as the party that ENDORSES presidential corruption. First Nixon, now Trump. Blocking Obama’s judges. Racial gerrymandering. You guys sure like to play dirty to get what you want. And that’s why this country is so divided.

Rabbi Jesus That may be true. But everything I said is still true. Prove me wrong. Republicans don’t mind a little cheating and a little corruption in their politicians as long as it gets them what they want. https://youtu.be/c5jkYN_wG7c

Rabbi Jesus More insults and no facts. And I continue to be correct. But you just HAVE to get the last word in without presenting any information. https://youtu.be/c5jkYN_wG7c

@Michael-yl2iq That's true. There is not a single Democrat that thinks Trump should stay in office. But given that he's not going anywhere, why should vulnerable Dems put their seat and their party's majority at risk. That's why some voted against the articles in the House, and same logic for the Senate.

@Michael-yl2iq Dershowitz was ridiculed because he said nothing a president does for re-election is impeachable if he believes his re-election is in the national interest. He literally endorsed cheating in an election. If I'm not mistaken that's quite a bit different than making the right votes to keep your seat in Congress.
1
M But he is defending Trump for cheating in the election. What are we supposed to think he means. Come on man. Stop with the word games. He was there to endorse cheating, that was his only reason for being there. His message was: “You cannot impeach Trump for cheating because he thought his re-election was in the national interest.”
