[Real Clear Politics] The funny part is, it’s not a punch line. In their opening impeachment argument before the Senate, Democrats claim they believe in a "fundamental principle that Americans should decide American elections." The 63 million Americans whose votes they are trying to invalidate don’t believe them.
Democrats lost an election in 2016. Rather than gracefully accept defeat, they decided to become the worst sore losers in history. Three years after President Donald Trump was sworn in, they still are incapable of calling his election legitimate.
The Democrats accuse him of soliciting Ukraine to "bolster the perceived legitimacy of his presidency."
"Perceived"? Democrats need a long overdue lesson in reality: Donald Trump is your duly elected president. No amount of clamoring about "Russia" can ever change that.
Yet that won’t stop them from trying. During the first four hours laying out their case, Democrats mentioned "Russia" 102 times. It’s as if we never had a special counsel, whose team of former Clinton Foundation attorneys and future MSNBC contributors scoured the earth looking for "collusion" for two years and never found it. It’s as if countless other congressional investigations that found "no evidence that any votes were changed" in 2016, never happened. It’s as if we are stuck in the Obama-Biden years, and Ukraine is still waiting for tank-busting Javelins, while Russia exercises its "flexibility" in Crimea.
It’s as if millions of Americans never told Washington we were sick and tired of its corrupt ways and raised our voices loudly and clearly on Nov. 8, 2016.
