Democrats voted in a straight party line vote to impeach President Trump for the vague term “abuse of power” on Wednesday night.
This was article one of the sham impeachment. Democrats were about to clap and celebrate and Pelosi had to stop them.

Democrats lost two members who joined Republicans in voting against the sham resolution. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), who is running for the Democratic nomination for president, voted present for article one of impeachment. She also voted present on the resolution establishing the rules surrounding the impeachment bill.
29 of 31 Democrats in pro-Trump districts voted with Speaker Pelosi knowing this will end their career in Congress.
“I feel so lucky that I took you on this fantastic journey. It’s so much fun,” Trump said. “They want to impeach you. They want to do worse than that.”
“It doesn’t feel like we’re being impeached. The country is doing better than ever before,” Trump said to a roaring crowd as the demonic Democrats were voting to impeach him for non-crimes.

House Democrats blocked House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) privileged motion to condemn House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) for exceeding their powers.
Rep. Peterson voted with Republicans to prevent Democrats from blocking a floor vote on the legislation.
Reps. Van Drew and Peterson voted with Republicans against a bill that would establish the rules regarding the House floor debate on the articles of impeachment against Trump.
The Republican Party’s chance of taking back the House has now gone up 7 points after.
Democrats signed their impeachment sham tonight.
In the same time frame, the chance of Republicans retaining the Senate has just gone up from 65% to 70%.
A two-thirds majority vote is required in the 100-member Senate to convict and remove a president from office. The Senate is made up of 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats and two independents who caucus with the Democrats. At least 20 Republicans would have to vote with all Democrats and the two independents to remove the president. Clearly it won’t get past the Senate.
A trial in the Republican-controlled Senate is expected in January.
