More people voted for Senators who decided to convict trump

69 million Americans voted for senators who supported impeachment

Over the course of the impeachment trial of President Trump, one figure was frequently invoked by his defenders: 63 million.

The charges against Trump must be so robustly proved, Trump attorney Robert Ray said last month, that “the 63 million people like me who voted for President Trump accept his guilt of the offense charged” — enough to “overwhelmingly persuade a supermajority of Americans and thus their senators of malfeasance warranting his removal from office.”

Those 63 million people, the people who backed Trump in the 2016 presidential contest, were presented as being at risk of having their presidential vote thrown out. For the Senate to vote to convict Trump on the charges presented by the House would be nothing short of an undoing of the election that brought Trump to power, his attorneys argued.

What that calculus ignores, of course, is that Trump is not the only person who serves with a mandate of voters. In 2018, voters handed Democrats a majority in the House, providing enough votes for the party to impeach Trump for his efforts to pressure Ukraine.

The members of the House who supported the first article of impeachment received about 38.5 million votes in 2018 — over 6 million more votes than were cast for members who opposed the article. In the Senate, the difference was even more stark. Nearly 69 million votes were cast for senators who supported removing Trump from office based on that first article of impeachment, about 12 million more votes than were received by senators who opposed his removal.

Bear in mind that the final Senate vote on the first article of impeachment was 52 votes in opposition to removal and 48 votes in support. Those 48 votes came from senators who were the choice of 69 million Americans. Those votes came from senators who received 54.8 percent of all of the votes cast for sitting senators. That’s well shy of the two-thirds margin required in the Senate to remove Trump from office, but it does show the gap between how much of the country was represented by each side in the impeachment fight.

And, what, 20 million voted for 2 of them? Big fucking deal. Doesn't matter.

Impeachment fir the shit they claimed was like the blow job. Bullshit. Any motherfucker who says either impeachment was justified is a partisan hack trying to asshurtedly (new word) undo the results of an election.

The Senators who voted for this shit should be removed and executed.

What we really need. is a disbanding of this fake "union" so commies can be commies and we don't have to kill them.

69 million Americans voted for senators who supported impeachment

And 16.7 million, or 24% of that total, came from just 2 friggin states.

This is why we're a Republic and not a direct democracy, dumbass.

Yet that we are all 'told what we want to hear' , while they vote otherwise becomes the bigger pix that escapes them....
