That abuse of office by Trump is when a vast majority of elected democrats supported impeachment. Even ones that are definitely at risk of losing their seats voted for it. I think republicans are going to pay the price in the long run though. They have to defend that "perfect" call and their own actions in not asking Trump to provide witnesses and documents that everyone knows wouldn't have helped Trump.



Respectfully, M E M, you're either blinding yourself to the truth, or openly dishonest. Every corner of the Democrat party, and equally if not more so all of the liberal media, have been divisively condemning Trump as an illegitimate president since election night 2016, and salivating over every last whiff of an opportunity for impeachment, for three years.

If any in the Democrat party, such as Nancy Pelosi, showed the slightest reluctance for impeachment, it is only for reasons of political appearance, because she felt impeachment couldn't be pulled off successfully and would blow back against the Democrats, which it has. But the hatred and uncivility by even the most centrist Democrats for three years has been palpable and on full display. I've never in my 56 years seen a speaker of the house voice such insults, slander and complete contempt on a president. Even as that President tries to ignore it, and undauntedly go on negotiating legislation on behalf of ALL the American people, with a Democrat party that openly despises him!

And that vile slander, contempt, and push toward impeachment did not begin after the July 25th phone call. It has been ongoing for three years. Even before Trump was elected in 2016.

Further, there is not one of over 20 Democrat primary candidates for 2020 who doesn't speak with the same fanatical far-Left voice in unison. They all advocate open borders, amnesty for illegals, health care benefits for illegals, de-criminalizing illegal border crossings, the economy-wrecking $100 trillion "Green New Deal", reparations for blacks, on and on. When asked in debates about support of these issues, every hand went up. There is absolutely no mistake in identifying the fanaticism and Bolshevik leftism of your party.
