House Democrats are just trying to invalidate the 2016 election of
President Donald Trump

Americans, not Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, will decide for themselves
who they want to lead this country: Opposing view
Elections have consequences. The same goes for Republicans as it goes
for Democrats.
Our Founding Fathers envisioned divisive days like today. However, they
did not envision that once the votes were counted and the American
people had spoken, that a political party would refuse to accept the
outcome of an election.
For nearly three years, House Democrats have been relentless in their
quest to subvert the will of the American people by trying to invalidate
the election of 2016 by any means necessary.
Undeterred by the failure of the Mueller report, the House Democrats
have decided to further dispense with constitutional and legal
procedures for impeachment. Their closed-door charade best illustrates
their irrational hatred of President Donald Trump.
America is different from other nations in part because for almost 250
years, the hallmark of our judicial system has been to guarantee our
citizens the right of due process.
So far, instead of following the procedures laid out by every Congress
since America’s founding, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has decided her
megaphone is more important than the rule the law. House Democrats have
been interviewing witnesses in secret, operating behind closed doors,
selectively leaking information to their allies in the mainstream news
media, all with zero transparency and accountability to the American people.
These actions look more nakedly political by the day, while the
president of the United States has had no opportunity to meaningfully
participate or confront allegations through this flawed and abnormal
process.
And don’t forget, this is taking the place of important work on behalf
of the American people, like passing the United States-Mexico-Canada
Agreement trade agreement, reducing tax and regulatory burdens on
American small businesses, addressing violence in our nation’s major
cities and fixing our broken immigration system.
In 13 months, Americans will again have the opportunity to decide who
they want to lead this country in our democratic elections. Americans,
not Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, will decide for themselves at the
ballot box. That’s how our system works. It is not a system where you
get a participation trophy or where everyone gets their way. In
politics, like football, sore losers don’t get another bite at the apple.
