Democrats will do their job and inform the American people.

They are doing their best to protect our Constitution. Unfortunately, they have no control over what the Republicans choose to do. If they choose to acquit Donald Trump, then so be it. The Democrats have chosen to defend their oath and to hold Donald Trump accountable.

Republicans may fear Trump and his base but Trump and his base are wrong and dangerous for America. They may cheer an acquittal of their Leader but it is far from a victory.

If they vote to not permit witnesses or documents, then it is a cover-up. It is as simple as that.

Republicans will be arguing theories and opinions about the Constitution. Democrats will be arguing the facts.

Donald Trump will be the only impeached president to ever run for re-election if he is acquitted. If he cannot cheat, he cannot win.

Democrats will have done their duty. They can hold their heads high. History will be much more kind to them than Trump and the Repubs.
