Of course they didn't think he would win, it was incomprehensible. Still is by the way.
Now on to the repubs. who premeditated the Hillary impeachment.
Didn't AOC talk in the past of campaigning against Dems that voted with the GOP?And how would you have felt if a democratic senator had crossed over and voted innocent?
Would he have been a traitor deserving of hate and ridicule?
Should he have been castigated from the democratic party?
Or would you have viewed him as a patriot with the will to rise above the political partisanship?
Would you have viewed him as the one democrat worth a damn?
We all know your answers to those questions.
Trump and everyone else blasting Romney look like petty little children.
This is the party you want?

AOC Threatens to Put Moderate Dems on a Primary ‘List’ If They Vote With GOP
Stop acting like the left is above such behavior. If any Dem had voted to acquit, they would have gotten hell from the party.
Hillary didn't become POTUS so she never faced impeachment. Trump did become POTUS so the left pursued a political impeachment, searching for something they could charge him with from the moment he took office. They didn't like the results of the election, so they tried to change them.Of course they didn't think he would win, it was incomprehensible. Still is by the way.

Absolutely nothing like what Romney is getting and you know it.Didn't AOC talk in the past of campaigning against Dems that voted with the GOP?

House Democrats were never against calling John Bolton. They asked Bolton to testify, and through his lawyers, he told them that he would not comply with a subpoena. The House Democrats chose not to pursue compelling Bolton's testimony through the federal court system. That doesn't mean that they were against Bolton testifying. Ultimately, the Republicans in the Senate voted against calling new witnesses including Bolton, because with the logic Sen. Lamar Alexander used, Bolton's testimony was unnecessary, because the House managers had already proven the allegations under Article I : Abuse of Power in the articles of impeachment.House Democrats were against calling those same witnesses until 34 days after voting for impeachment

Had Hillary won the election she would have faced impeachment almost immediately, at least according to republican politicians. You can play the "it didn't happen so we'll never know" game, as long as you want but all we have to go on are the stated intentions of republicans prior to the election. I know what a reasonable conclusion would be.Hillary didn't become POTUS so she never faced impeachment.

And Trump is the worst, to no ones surprise......and that is pathetic.
Can you imagine any president saying what Trump has said today about Romney?
She threatened to make sure they didn't get reelected. Sounds pretty damn close to the same to me. You're living in denial.Absolutely nothing like what Romney is getting and you know it.

What is the point of bitching about something that didn't happen? Do you argue with imaginary friends, too? Reality, luther. Try living in it rather than offering hypotheticals of **** that didn't happen.Had Hillary won the election she would have faced impeachment almost immediately, at least according to republican politicians.

That doesn't make any sense. Also, McConnell, Rubio, Kennedy and Collins have all publicly agreed with his statement. Thow in Romney and that makes 5. Are they all just looking for relevance too? It just kills you guys to admit that Trump did something wrong doesn't it?
You left out a significant and pertinent portion as well...
"It was inappropriate for the president to ask a foreign leader to investigate his political opponent and to withhold United States aid to encourage that investigation. When elected officials inappropriately interfere with such investigations, it undermines the principal of equal justice under the law..."
What does that have to do with anything? Who won the Iowa caucuses in 2016? Rubio and Trump split the delegates. It was a virtual dead heat. There is nothing to indicate that Iowa is a barometer for the rest of the country.
