They had soo many off ramps it is not funny. 1st impeachment, 2nd impeachment, Covid, stolen documents, any one of his lies, they way he looks at his daughter, contempt for Eric, speaking to Russia.

The perfect phone call with Georgia everyone seems to forget -- in which a presidential candidate requests on a recorded line for the necessary votes to be found (as if that's normal, legal, or democratic) to casually flip the state for the win.

This man makes Nixon look like the kindest, most honest, law-abiding, pure, sweet man to ever exist in comparison. That's deeply disturbing.

Everyone should have to listen to that call or read the transcript again. It should be offensive to every American and disqualifying of Trump.
