Invoking Scripture to make his case for the abolition of slavery, Abraham Lincoln famously declared that “a House divided against itself cannot stand.” These words still ring true today as Speaker Nancy Pelosi fans the flames of partisanship with an illegitimate impeachment crusade against President Trump.
Not a single Republican voted for the Democrats’ two flimsy articles of impeachment that the Democrats rammed through the House of Representatives after a one-sided “inquiry” — but three members of Pelosi’s caucus could not bring themselves to go along with the farce, and a fourth voted against one of the articles. One Democrat, New Jersey Representative Jeff Van Drew, even switched his allegiance to the Party of Lincoln because of Nancy Pelosi’s impeachment sham.
Democrat voters nationwide are coming to the same realization as Van Drew. President Trump and this Republican Party welcome them with open arms. In the words of Ronald Reagan, another longtime Democrat who eventually joined the GOP, these voters won’t really be leaving the Democrat Party, because the Democrat Party has already left them.
The Founders intended impeachment as a drastic remedy — so drastic that they made sure a president could only be removed from office by an overwhelming majority of the Senate. Pursued responsibly, impeachment could even serve as a unifying force, bringing ideological opponents together for the sake of protecting both Constitution and country. When it is pursued irresponsibly, however, impeachment is not only needlessly divisive but also represents a serious threat to the constitutional order in and of itself.
A partisan impeachment is a tyranny of the majority, something the Founders took great pains to defend against when they devised our system of government. Lincoln was keenly aware of the dangers of polarization as he watched the country settle into a political stalemate that would ultimately to the most divisive time in our history.
While Nancy Pelosi managed to divide her own Party — and much of the country — her obsession with nullifying the result of the 2016 presidential election is uniting and energizing Republicans.
Within just 48 hours after the Democrats voted to impeach, the Trump campaign raised over $10,000,000 in online donations. Even more impressively, more than 200,000 patriotic Americans have signed up to get involved with the President’s re-election campaign since Speaker Pelosi first announced the impeachment inquisition in September.
If you travel outside of the Washington, D.C. Beltway, the burgeoning energy and unity of Republicans are ever increasing. The best place to witness this growth is at a Trump rally. At the very moment that Democrats were preparing to vote for impeachment, President Trump was addressing tens of thousands of enthusiastic supporters — 17 percent of whom were registered Democrats — at a Keep America Great rally in Battle Creek, Michigan. Last month, at the height of impeachment hysteria, more than 30,000 people gathered in Sunrise, Florida to join President Trump for a rally — and that was on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving!
As for the new volunteers, I’ve traveled across the country over the past few months to join them in trainings as part of the RNC and the Trump Campaign recruitment initiatives. The American people aren’t standing idly by while politicians try to take down our President. More and more Americans understand it’s time to get in the game.
This partisan Democrat impeachment crusade has sparked a call to action for Republicans. Republicans are coming to the defense of our president, our country and our institutions. The Party of Lincoln will once again unite our Republic by rejecting Pelosi’s attempt to divide the House.

Avenatti is the sleaze lawyer who represented Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against Trump. It was one of the first attempts at impeachment. Avenatti also represented two bimbos in the Justice Kavanaugh debacle who falsely accused him of rape. He talked about running for President at one time and was CNN’s key talking heads in his brief time of notoriety. He then tried to extort 20 million from Nike for blackmail to shut up athletes...He is a sleazeball extraordinaire. This makes he and Schiff “brothers by other mothers”...I think that Schiff probably has some sleaze dealings as well and will be found out soon...https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7803277/California-attorney-Michael-Avenatti-pleads-not-guilty-NY.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490. Their personalities are the same.
Seriously, the opposition is forming militias! If the Left keeps pushing, I foresee a trend of militia groups forming across the fruited plain. And Sheriffs are making entire counties 2nd Amendment sanctuaries. What is the Left to do?
Nancy the Impeachment Snatched is about to lose her job.
Let’s don’t stand in her way.
It’s one thing to rig a poll in one candidate’s favor when they are relatively even.
“ I would be surprised if he is not in jail by the end of next year. He is Avenatti’s twin brother”
No idea whom you are talking about
You don’t have to write another tome trying to explain.
Just to let you know. No idea whom you are referencing
Not only will I vote for President Trump on November 3, 2020, but also in our TN primary on March 3rd 2020. If everyone follows my example and votes for him in their primary election and in the general election, he's guaranteed to win
We have to make sure, that none of us stay home. Those that do are traitors and not worth being called Freepers
He’s the nephew of Vice President Pence
Jeff Van Drew appears as a vain popinjay. By deserting he is untrustworthy and his action is thus meaningless
You asked me who I was talking about and I explained it to you..If you don’t want to know or don’t care, don’t ask.
You are correct. And even Obama said the Russians couldn’t affect a presidential election outcome because they couldn’t rig 50 individual state races.
Yet the democrats, who are so worried about “Russian Collusion” want to remove one of the best safeguards against it, i.e., the electoral college.
Don’t knock Van Drew he did the right thing. Now we judge him how he votes in the congress. He’s from NJ though so lots of Rat voters could take him out in November.
We have 20 to 30 not seeking re-election including Mark Meadows. I am concerned the commies could expand their margin.
I just hope Trump will do a rally in the Hartford, Connecticut area. I think if they did it at Rentschler Field (40,000 seats), I believe you’ll see Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and New York citizens there...
The sooner this criminal organization is permanently ditched into the garbage dump of history, where it belongs, the better.
Happy Trumpmas!!!
You know what amazes me?
Stories like this, which I certainly believe are true, are only appearing in the conservative media.
I know the mainstream media are biased, but I can’t believe how they refuse to even see the truth or report on it.
They don’t have to like it, but the big story about Donald Trump’s impeachment was two-fold:
How one-sided and partisan it was—democrats calling for his impeachment even BEFORE he was elected, and...
How much the actual last couple of months of the fully partisan and unfair (to the minority party) the impeachment process has rejuvenated the Republicans and caused them to really stick together.
Surely the media sees this? They don’t like it I’m sure, but it is true none the less.
Do they think that Speaker Pelosi and the democrats are immune to the consequences? That they’ll go on and keep the House, gain the Senate, and defeat Trump for the Presidency?
That the democrat party is going to be ultimately triumphant without any concern on their part about any backlash at all?
I mean the media here, how can they be so stupid?
It’s 2016 and 1994 all over again. They really don’t see what’s coming their way.
