The actions were not even “bad”, they were done in the overall best interests of the United States of America, a concept foreign to the NYT.

Bingo. Also, lots of Americans have long been questioning the massive amounts of foreign aid that we distribute annually, wondering why it is necessary (especially given how deep in the debt hole we are). Now we see it is a huge money-laundering operation for the "ruling class". I don't think Trump's inquiries have ended.

Dr Mani Sethi, a Naturalized Citizen, Christian, Trauma Ortho Surgeon backed by TN Eagle Forum. Who campaigns in East Tennessee, not seen him in West Tennessee. Don’t get your name out don’t expect this late to pull ahead. Trump endorsed Hagerty in Tennessee Senate race. No Knowledge of Hagerty.

Old Dem Gov Obama butt kisser is hated kicked poor sick Americans off TennCare and put illegals on it. Generally loathed.

At this point I’m ready to go Vote Trump/Pence and go home. Have no trust in any of the others.

Asking a country to look into corruption so that tax payers aren’t sending their money (without their say) to criminals is a bad thing? On what planet?

Born liar, promised 2 terms and out, broke that promise and this is his third term doing the same asinine crap he did in the first 2. Blackburn hates Veterans, getting long in the tooth and to liberal, only thing she stands firm on is Anti-Abortion.

republicans who take that stand had better get another sense on where Trump voters are in this. they trying to save their hide, will lose it.
for years the gop played afraid to fight.. that got them nowhere.. Trump didnt just let wrong get by... and they think he should acquiesce and let the dems screw this country and gather up lots of money for themselves.
lamar is old establishment.. hed better go after the socialist party and let Trump be Trump.

No it cannot. I just know how the RINOs roll. Trump will be aquitted for sure but even if the vote is 51 guilty and 49 not guilty it will give another narrative to the Rats that the majority of Americans wanted Trump impeached. I’m pissed at all Rats and Rinos. Trump has basically been persecuted by these degenerates. Thank God He’s a man that doesn’t take chit from nobody.

I doubt the Ds will get their full caucus to go along with this nonsense.

Partisan impeachment with bipartisan acquittal.

What Trump did wrong was keep a whole bunch of Obama roaches in diplomatic staff posts.

“Stating that Trump did something wrong is opinion, not fact.”

Agreed, and the Bidens’ activities haven’t been properly investigated yet. Another poster said something like “an iron curtain has been put around the Biden’s activities”.

Equating Senators votes with Americans as far as the majority feelings is just plain silly. Trump has lost NO support among his base and he has gained support among Blacks and Hispanics.

No minds will be changed once the vote is taken and he is acquitted.

Then there is the matter of those investigative reports set to come out. I’m betting this will happen on the heels of the Senate vote and I also think there will be indictments coming down and not just for no name staffers.

“...emerging defense...”

In other words, fake news and fake narrative from the Slimes. As you state it so well, “very small (and shrinking) handful of RINOs...”

Yes he should have used the FBI and CIA. Then it would have been perfectly fine as long as he had someone say by the book.
