Well, the whole impeachment thing is a memorial to Hillary. They've never been able to accept the results of the 2016 Election, have disputed it since Day One, and have done nothing but attempt to change the results to their liking.

I'm fine with a Republican being president. I have always been OK with Republicans being president. I actually voted GOP before. I'm not OK with a traitorous Putin puppet being president. I will never be OK with that because I am an honorable American above anything else.

There isn't a single piece of proposed legislation from the Democrats that would actually contribute to a better future for Americans.

I'm frankly surprised that the Democrats have exceeded expectations. I really thought that they couldn't do more harm to the American working class than they managed with Obamacare, but they are actively trying. Their latest, with the impeachment attempt, just shows exactly how far they are willing to go to destroy this country.

While I seriously doubt that Trump is in danger of losing the election in 2020 considering who his opposition is shaping up to be, if it looks like there is any chance that a Democrat will actually win it will be the first time I've voted R in a national election in 20 years or so. I would rather have Trump in office than any current Democrat candidate. That's saying a lot, considering that I wouldn't trust Trump to watch my dog for a weekend.
Trump supporters are not "cultists." Any more than JFK supporters were "cultists" or Reagan supporters were "cultists".

Trump supporters are honest and responsible citizens smart enough to recognize who's working for them to improve their lives and their country's future and who's working against them.

According to Lamar Alexander:

An acquittal would require proving that Trump is not guilty of the crime for which he was charged.

#1 - This is an impeachment hearing, not a criminal trial, so there were no charges brought. This was a hearing about whether or not he should be impeached, a distinction that many posters on here can't seem to learn, no matter how often it is explained to them.

#2 - Your own people admit that he did do the crime, so why should he be acquitted?
You have it wrong, they made the accusation that he committed a crime so the burden of proof is on them.

And don't forget bribery
Did you even read the transcript of the phone call, there was no mention of money. If any one was guilty of withholding money it was Joe Biden.

When did JFK try to strong arm a foreign leader into digging up dirt on a political rival?

Yes, Trump supporters, we accept and fully expected this. While you are blasting Romney, remember that Susan Collins also called for witnesses. WHY? Maybe because she is up for re-election in 2020, and the VOTERS of her state "threatened" her?

Temper tantrum? Oh, yes, you will see our temper tantrum at the POLLS in November. BET on that no matter who our nominee is.

Teddy Kennedy did. He went to Russia seeking their government's aid in 1980 in trying to defeat Reagan.

Course, at least he did not drown anyone while in Russia.
