Corrupting an election. So it seems.
*just a joke! It’s over- the consensus of 332 votes was impeach- 302 against (house and senate combined.) Every “yes” is a vote he did what he was accused and should be impeached- every no was a vote he should not be impeached- but wasn’t a vote that he didn’t do it. Just that it wasn’t impeachable. Several folks who voted against are on revived they believe he did it- but not that he should be impeached- so it isn’t a joke about how people FEEL about the impeachment- the joke is just that by the numbers- more of the voting politicians thought he did what he was accused of than thought he didn’t.)
So to be clear- I’m not saying he should have been impeached- before anyone gets butt hurt. I’m saying that the general agreement among the majority of those voting was that he totally did what he was accused of- but that it wasn’t serious enough to impeach over. The joke here being- you’d think it would be illegal to do that but it seems it isn’t.
i have to disagree. i think 1/2 the democrats voted to impeach simply because it's trump. while 1/2 the republicans voted not to just to spit in the eyes of ones like pelosi. unfortunately i think this had very little to do with guilty or innocent and more to do with popularity.
Popularity- or at least hate/allegiance based strongly in self interest and the man’s actions and beliefs certainly were the deciding factor. While not “clean” the vote and his support are largely drawn on party lines. BUT- google Lamar Alexander and others in the Republican Party- who openly said in public- they believe trump did it. That’s all I’m saying. More people thought he did it- even those who still supported him- it’s just that wether on “love/hate” or for the states reasons- they said “he did it- but it’s not worth impeachment.” Other republicans who voted against impeachment said in summation- he’s guilty- but the distress and mess of an impeachment isn’t worth it. Don’t take my word- look it up. Many of those who voted against impeachment DO think he’s guilty of the charges- they just don’t think he should be impeached for them.
