In reply to the discussion: "Don't despair until the end." "This is the end. Despair." [View all]Mme. Defarge
(8,028 posts)89. It helps me to remind myself
that 79% of the voting population wanted witnesses at Trumps impeachment trial. And it helps to remind myself that now all but one Republican Senator is on record voting for his acquittal. And that this was the first time in our history that a member of the Presidents party voted for his conviction and removal from office.
Knowing he would be acquitted, I still believe impeachment it was the right thing to do. Now we must all work like hell to keep the House and take the Senate.
