Republicans have been saying
repeatedly that Democrats are using impeachment because they can't beat
Trump in 2020. When House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler
delivered his opening statement at the hearing on Articles of
Impeachment, he proved this isn't just a talking point.
"We
cannot rely on an election to solve our problems," he said, "when the
president threatens the very integrity of that election,"
This admission echoes a
previous statement by Rep. Al Green, who said, "I'm concerned that if we
don't impeach this president, he will get re-elected."
This
isn't about withholding military aid to Ukraine. Obama refused to give
Ukraine lethal aid, and Democrats didn't accuse him of not acting in our
country's national security interests. It took Trump being in office
for that aid to actually get to Ukraine. Democrats don't care about
Ukraine, or the constitution, or the so-called abuse of power. They care
about winning the next election. They care about regaining power. And
if Trump wins in 2020, they won't stop trying to oust him, as Rep. Jim
Jordan noted.
They're never going to stop!
