It's an interesting dichotomy.
On the one hand, you have the President asking for a "favor", and suggests that the Ukranian government should investigate Joe and Hunter Biden.
I can't say I don't find that mildly troublesome, but I don't think it rises to the level of being an impeachable offense. And, could it be considered an appropriate request if there was reason to suspect there might have been some wrongdoing on the part of Joe Biden? Because a strong argument could be made for that.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Even if Trump is impeached, it would take 20 GOP Senators to side with the Democrats to get a conviction, and that's just not going to happen. The end result is that Trump can, and will, rightly claim exoneration while Democrats will have to admit that they failed and fell far short of their lofty goals.
That will only make Trump a far more formidable opponent in 2020...
Courage is knowing that something will hurt and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same thing. That's why life is hard...
