To the editor:

The Republican Party was founded on a moral, anti-slavery stand, and the election of its first president precipitated a civil war which led to the abolition of slavery in the USA. As time went on it became the party of choice of industrialists, the rich and an upwardly mobile middle class.

Unless of course, Tino, one thinks that the article of impeachment was not the correct charge to bring. There is that little (edited by impeachment managers) statement Trump made to 'march peacefully' on the capitol. The defense team played the whole clip. That one clip essentially ruled out a guilty vote. Stupid is as stupid does. McConnell was right. Trump is still liable for lots he did...just not the wrong charge brought.
