    What is it about President Trump that makes his haters feel so inadequate?

    Again you fail to understand public perception. This is something you'd expect from Donald Trump and not from a highly respected Democrat.
    .

    So what you are saying is the public don't like "down and dirty" but the same public voted Trump for President and there is a good chance they could again.

    I have highlighted a problem with your Thesis.

    Perhaps modern day politicians aren't accustomed to dealing with a street-fighter.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Even the WashingtonPost recognises he did nothing wrong and has been 'acquited':
    Let the good times roll on.

    Paper represents facts shocker.

    He was technically acquitted.

    It's the fact he defaced them, as from your earlier link, that is illegal! Or are you rowing back now because your beloved Trump has been found doing worse to documents than Pelosi?

    Also, House minority leader Kevin McCarthy stuck it to Pelosi in a video mocking her infamous tearing up of Trump’s State of the Union speech by tearing up Trump’s articles of impeachment.

    Sure Kevin "stuck it to Pelosi" all the lolz.

    Half hour later Pelosi should be in jail.

    I'm saying that getting down and dirty with Trump is playing the game he is expert at. It'll turn off democrat voters who have spent their whole lives believing that their party is the honourable one.

    It now makes sense why Romney wrote other Senators personal notes regarding his vote to convict Trump in the impeachment farce... basically being ‘Sorry for screwing your chances for reelection in November.’ One of my state senators explained it. Romney said he expects “extraordinary consequences” from his vote. But those consequences won’t really affect Romney. Romney is US Senator for another four years and is rich enough not to have anything to worry about after that. It’s the vulnerable Senate republicans up for reelection this November who are getting hung out to dry with Romney’s vote. Romney played right into Chuck Schumer’s hands. Schumer is going to play it as Romney’s vote to convict is the reason all Republican senators are nothing more than Trump’s handmaidens. “I trust that we have all followed the dictates of our conscience” is going to appear in every one of the democrat ads running for the Senate. Looks like Romney will be eating his lunches alone for now on.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Mitt Romney is a traitor, a liar, and above all a loser.

    Well, he does hate Trump and he is a hypocrite. How can he vote to convict trump on abuse of power and give Joe Biden a complete pass for his obvious abuse of power which was 10 time worse? Is it because he has roundabout ties to Burisma himself?

    Multi-millionaire self made man is a loser now? John McCain is a loser? John Kerry? etc

    Would Trump running against Obama have won? He would in his hole. Took cojones to step up and run against Obama in 2012 knowing it's an uphill battle to oust Obama.

    He has to be the sorest winner ever. Though the butthurt he must be feeling about having the word impeached beside the name Trump in history books is bound to seriously hurt his notoriously thin skin.

    Not necessarily. Going forward it might become a badge of honor because Pelosi has destroyed the seriousness of the impeachment process and has forever made in nothing more than just another pure political tool to use against your opponent.

    And having your party have a majority in the Senate also becomes a political tool going forward because the incumbent President can engage in high crimes and misdemeanors and obstruct justice because what they do is in the national interest and they are immune from removal via impeachment.

    I'll tell you what would be a genius move would be for one of the candidates to go out and criticise Pelosi. It wouldn't hinder Sanders, Warren or Yang to do that as she isn't going to support them anyways.

    Wouldn't matter a jot what they said with the way the DNC are openly rigging the Iowa caucus.
