Impeachment articles are a vindication for trump. you pretty much explained. how you ended that piece, marc, i dont have time for the excerpt. this is the definition of failure, you write. earlier this year you referenced back to nancy pelosi saying we shouldnt move forward, democrats shouldnt move forward unless there was compelling, overwhelming and bipartisan evidence. i dont think we should go down that path. she was right then. democrats should have listened. final thoughts from you this mo...
