because the Democrat’s vote counts as two votes when the Republican doesn’t vote.

It’s obviously the same when it’s the other way around. We’ve seen what the result is when that happens.

It’s the reason I vote in every single election. I’m not letting anyone come along and use my vote.

Anecdotally, I am seeing a slight trickle of college male support away from 45. If that increases, he is in a world of hurt.

I think scores of us out on the streets would make GOP senators think twice, but I worry about blowback. This is so shitty. Families at the border torn apart, Kurds slaughtered. How much more suffering would he cause in 2020 if the impeachment fails?

I suppose it would affect some but most will think it's fake or just give him a pass like they have with every other horrible thing he's done.
