There have been multiple reasons given for why not to move forward on impeachment; the weakness and confusion of the Mueller investigation, the fears of Red state Democrats facing reelection, the fear that if the senate acquits Trump he would be easily reelected, and most of all the public won’t understand the charges, “High Crime and Misdemeanors.” I can see their eyes glaze over.
This one is different, the President of the United States has contacted a foreign power, Ukraine, to coerce them to dig up dirt on a former Vice President, Joe Biden, his possible opponent, and may even have extorted Ukraine using our money.
This is an egregious assault on our constitution, a total abuse of power. It is a singular charge that most people can grasp, and the jaded press can get behind.
The Republicans have a lot to lose by turning a partisan blind eye to Trump’s violation of our principles, and for all of what our country stands for. They are defending four vulnerable Senate seats, Susan Collins (Maine), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Thom Tillis (N.C.), and Martha McSally (Ariz.) And, there are a lot more, at risk seats in the House for them to lose.
This petty despot, this pretender to the throne must be stopped.
By not moving forward, NOW, we democrats, have a lot to lose, our dignity, and our country...
