I grew up in a rural conservative county that was overwhelmingly Republican. With only one exception every elected County and State Legislative office were occupied by Republicans. I admired most all these neighbors growing up. They were sophisticated, wise, and honest members of our community. It's now difficult for me to fathom how those people would toss their self-respect aside and concede alliance with the obvious thuggery and blatant bias demonstrated by their current party leadership.
What makes this current Impeachment matter such circus is the President's lawyers. Offering naught but pronouncements of innocence devoid of relevant or material fact of evidence, they and certain of the Republican Senators continue to disrespect the rules of evidence to allow witness testimony (and certainly cross-examination) in arbitration of the Impeachment articles. And, if there be one group entitled to determine the truth of Trump's Administration, it's those that voted for him. Not those who find reason to oppose the President's incompetent manner of governance or the disrespect he shows for the protocol and manners of the office. The mettle of the man Trump is disgusting to anyone of self-respect for themselves and their fellow citizens of this country.
