But the unfortunate truth is that if you look at all serious presidential impeachments, the votes went almost exactly down party lines. Regardless of the party. Fortunately for the left, though, this time it’s Republicans who are clearly in the wrong.
IIRC, no senator had ever voted to convict an impeached president in their own party until Mitt Romney did against Trump.
It’s just weird to think that they have this big trial, and present tons of evidence, and the most important factor in how you judge the case is which side of the room you’re sitting on. Nothing to do with the actual trial.
So, unless Republicans actually start doing their jobs and follow the Constitution and start working to benefit their constituents and stop breaking their oaths of office, the only chance America has for justice is if there is a massive blue wave in the elections this year.

The GOP always puts party before country.
