I don’t remember a time when this nation has been so sharply divided. Now we can debate the reasons all day, but from this Conservative Constitutionalist’s perspective, there are some very obvious takeaways.

I voted for a Washington outsider in 2016, a businessman and patriot. I figured he’d shake things up and he has. He doesn’t do business like a politician and that’s a good thing. The extraordinary and unprecedented results are indisputable but for the purposely ignorant and hopelessly partisan. And for those folks, the thought of (five) more years of this president, and the possibility of a couple more SCOTUS picks is simply unacceptable.

Truth is, presidents hold back financial and other aid from countries for many reasons, including corruption on the receiving end. In this case, and whether Democrats like it or not, there’s a very real possibility the former VP and his son might just be knee deep in it.

In the end, impeachment was NOT the road to take regarding the Ukrainian matter, especially with zero support from the other side of the aisle. History will likely bear this out. In the shorter term however, Democrats will definitely pay a price at the polls in 2020.
