This was the most bi-partisan impeachment vote in our history and found that Trump was guilty. The fact that it takes 67 votes to convict, does not detract from his crime.

I'm comfortable in my opinion that the House Impeachment managers proved their case. After all, a majority of Senators agree with me. A majority of Americans agree with me. Even Mitch McConnell agrees with me. Furthermore, Trump's legal and financial troubles are far from over. The House Managers laid out a detailed road-map to support further legal action. I know that facts never change minds in politics, but you do have a remarkable minority opinion.
