“We have a constitutional responsibility to accept this impeachment article and hold a trial,” Durbin said.
Durbin, however, did acknowledge that Democrats will discuss a censure resolution if they fail to convict Trump. Several senators have suggested the GOP support for conviction is likely capped at five — the number who voted against a bid by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to declare the trial unconstitutional.
“We’re going to talk about it,” Durbin said about the censure resolution. “I hope enough Republicans join us to impeach this president. If they don’t, perhaps we’ll consider some alternatives.”
It is clear that the Democrats are out for blood and will not rest, help the country heal, or provide the role model for unity until they tear down everything that is former President Donald J. Trump.
One question arises time and time again. Apart from the left seeing former President Trump as a narcissist and the ‘Washington Outsider’ that beat out expected winner Hillary Clinton, what is the left side of the aisle in D.C. so afraid of?
