Trump was his own worst enemy from day 1. The guy never bothered to competently staff his Cabinet and ran the few competent cabinet level advisers that he had out of the building. He made no effort to avoid the appearance of conflicts with his business. They didn't even try to apply window dressing to appear to be a functional administration.

The problem isn't that he was an outsider, it's that he IS THE WRONG PERSON TO EVER BE PRESIDENT ON A LEVEL THAT FEW OTHER SERIOUS CANDIDATES COULD EVER APPROACH.

Yeah, we all see what happens when "qualified people" get elected.........this is a joke isn't it?

Washington is colossally f^&ed up. What we've had the last 20 years or so is people who've been in office who don't get anything done b/c of all the political infighting.

Its refreshing to have someone who ISNT a career politician. Who doesn't care about who he pisses off.

Trump could win in 2020 by the largest margin in the history of presidential races if he could change his rhetoric and style. But, he cant help himself. he is so over the top arrogant and full of himself that he is his own worst enemy.

Maybe Pence is the Whistleblower:

"Foreign donors and certainly foreign governments cannot participate in the American political process"

Is that why his wife wouldn't kiss him on election night?

He had lunch with a 80 yr. old female reporter without her.

Is this only impeachable because Biden is potentially running against Trump next year?

Said another way: If you substitute John Kerry into this story in place of Joe Biden... did Trump still commit an impeachable offense?

If not, does anyone else see the massive loophole this creates?

The issue is he’s using his power for self-interest, not the interest of the country. If in your example that were the case with Kerry, then the answer is yes. Ironically that’s what the Clintons were doing (using their power for self-interest) and the the reason he called Hillary a crook.

How is it self interested to ask to look into this? Biden was potentially engaged in high level corruption. It’s in the country’s interest to find that out. It is quite literally his job to do this

Exactly.

It all depends on which side of the aisle you’re on. Does anyone really think the Democrats and media wouldn’t be going apoplectic if Trump or Pence said exactly the same thing as Biden if one of their kids was being investigated by the Ukraine?

The Democrats want Secretary of State Pompeo to provide documents so they can start their “impeachment inquiry”. What if he decided to destroy all the documents claiming they just had to do with wedding plans for his kid? They’d be screaming for him to be locked up.

With Biden and Hillary, it’s “Nothing to see here. Move along.” The hypocrisy by both parties is ridiculous.
