The Party of 'Impeach!'

The Democrats’ purported outrage about President Donald Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky might be taken seriously by the Republicans were it not for the Democrats’ drive to oust Trump from the moment he won the presidency.

CNN’s Van Jones, with zero proof, attributed Trump’s victory to “whitelash.” Trump received 57% of the white vote, actually a lower percentage of the white vote than the 59% received by Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential candidate in 2012. In 2008, Democrat Barack Obama received a greater percentage of the white vote than John Kerry did four years earlier. Obama also received 95% of the black vote. None dared call it “blacklash.”

Stunned, angry and bewildered by Trump’s win, some Democrats urged the Electoral College to refuse to certify his victory. In a Washington Post op-ed, John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, said, “The (Obama) administration should brief members of the electoral college on the extent and manner of Russia’s interference in our election before they vote on Dec. 19 (2016).”

Desperate people do foolish things.

Sorry, but asking a foreign government to interfere in US elections is a crime. Whether you like Trump or not what he did was a crime. This is not a dictatorship where blind allegiance is to the leader regardless of whether he is right or wrong. This has been way overdue. His behavior is inappropriate, his racist and hateful rhetoric must go. If he thought there was corruption, we have a CIA and FBI for that...not a crooked private attorney. Guilani is a private citizen and has no business in government affairs.
