They know having him removed is the only way he doesn't get reelected, which is why this isn't an impeachment, it's a coup disguised as an impeachment. The pro-impeachment conspirators are all traitors in my book.

Absolutely. The past two days have truly shown they don't have anything and they are truly afraid of loosing their power base. If they are going to run President Trump through the mud, I think the rest of them deserve the same treatment.

It would only be a coup if the conspiracy was widespread enough that removal from office was assured. In this I can't wait to hear the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court on live TV start to ask questions during the Senate Trial. Thats when the Democrats start to go down in flames. Like others, I am going to be ROFLMAO! The impeachment so far does not even rise to the standard of a minor civil case as far as rules of evidence is concerned.

There is no crime, john. They created this coup, err impeachment inquiry to find a crime. They set this up following the November general election in 2016 and have been fishing for a crime with no bait, or fake worms without a single bite. Hatred is not a reason to impeach a President. The right may have disagreed and said some things about obama, but to set up a kangaroo court to have him removed from office... the left would be rabidly frothing from the mouth by now. Tell me I'm wrong. You can't. You put BO through this kangaroo court and there would be hell to pay 24/7/365. The leftist national media would run it constantly or until a real civil war resulted.

Democrats, especially those from NY and CA are not above the law.

They are being smart enough this time not to use the Trump supplied and purposely confusing term. Last time he chose collusion which isn't a crime, that way he could later say, "see, Mueller found no collusion". Of course he didn't, he was looking for crimes and collusion isn't in of itself a crime. Easy to confuse people that way.

Impeachment is a political process and as such they have to make sure to use easily understandable and consumable terms. Quid Pro Quo is not, which is why Trump likely chose it and the Ds are rejecting it.

SFC John Wade - At some point you have to call out a spade as being a spade. Calling this out is the right answer regardless of the outcome. It isn't all about winning; we get ourselves in ethical and moral jeopardy when we evaluate everything through that lens.

SPC Erich Guenther - That's certainly the amoral analysis.

SPC Kevin Ford - The Democrats had the option to call out in a Censure and gravitate slowly towards impeachment if the behavior was repeated, instead they went for the sledgehammer first. Majority of the electorate will interpret this as disgruntled and highly partisan Democrats and nothing more. You can call it amorality but most others call it realism and stupidity on the part of the Democrats. Politics and Political slants mean zero on election day. What counts is the ballot result.

SPC Erich Guenther - Bad behavior has been repeated, over and over and it was getting steadily worse. It went more off the rails the more he got away with it.

If you want someone to blame, blame the Congressional Republicans. Had they checked him early he likely would have operated under some level of restraint. The more he realized he couldn't be held to account, the more egregious his behavior has become until finally he's bribing foreign presidents to investigate political opponents with taxpayer dollars.
