Until recently I was not a supporter of the impeachment of Mr. Trump solely based on the premise...why? Even if it passes the house, there is no way that the Republican control Senate will allow the President to be impeached because they fear for their jobs and positions in the Senate. After all where can you go, get $170K plus benefits, and not do your job? (See related article on Senator Rick Scott (R-FL)).
However, this whole thing with Ukraine and asking for them to investigate Joe Biden, one of his competitors for the position of President in 2020 went too far. It clear it was a swapping of favors for political gain. Now some say that there is no different between that and what other Presidents have done by negotiating deals with other counties. Well it is in ONE and only ONE very important way…It was deal between President Trump, to discredit a potential presidential nominee and competitor for the sake of securing his re-election to the office of president.
It is not something that has come to be expected from the leader of the United States…from Cuba, or one of those 3rd world countries – but not the United States.
So, yes impeachment is necessary and supported by the facts. If the republican senate does not do their job, then they need to be elected out of office. NEVER, EVER should party comes before country. When it does, that party no longer deserves the support or respect of the citizens of the United States and needs to be disbanded.
