"Why didn't we pass and continue to pass multiple articles of impeachment? Why didn't we question his legitimacy? Why didn't we point out that he was ruling against a majority of the people everyday?"
All those points were pretty much covered on a daily basis by MSNBC and CNN, by both the news journalists and D.C. Dem lawmakers. Trump and the GOP has bitched and whined for the past 4 years about the 'unfair' media coverage. If "we" had been the media and the majority, Trump would have been run out of town in the first year.
The facts had him dead to rights on the 'abuse of power' impeachment trial but the GOP Senate was too chickenshit to convict, or even give a slap on the wrists. Even if the Senate had had the same slim Dem majority, he wouldn't have been convicted. The House could have initiated impeachment inquiries, one after another, and the end result would have been the same.
And the Dems had to deal with the near daily accusations of trying to reverse the 2016 election. So, there probably was some bad politics involved with continuing to 'beat the dead horse'. I'm not politically astute enough to get into that discussion.
But it all goes back to what has been said since from the beginning...the GOP abandoned their sworn obligations and put Party over country...and continue to do the same. Trump was the trigger but the GOP held the gun.
