Last fall, as the House impeachment wave was building, I asked a gathering of 10 friends what they thought of President Trump’s prospects. Only six were Trump voters in 2016, but the group was unanimous on two points: The president would not be convicted by the Senate and would be re-elected in 2020. Because the...

Pearls clutched, hair on fire, heads exploding — pick your favorite image to describe the left’s latest reaction to President Trump. Once again, the end is near, he’s gone too far, this time we got him. His outrage against all that is good and pure was to pink-slip star impeachment witnesses Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman...

Because a presidential impeachment is such a rare event, the end of the trial should be a moment fraught with gripping tension and historic significance.

Immediately, hearts sank and televisions went dark across America. It was only Day Two of the Senate trial and already Democrats were repeating...

Near the end of his inflammatory opening remarks Tuesday, Sen. Chuck Schumer tried his best to scale the rhetorical heights. He declared the moment “deep and solemn” and said, “The eyes of the Founding Fathers are upon us.” If they’re watching, they’re probably rolling over in their graves. Day One of the Trump impeachment trial...
