Letter to the editor: Democrats failed because Constitution worked

Impeachment? Here is what happened.

In 2016, successful businessman and nonpolitician Donald Trump believed in the conservative principle that reducing taxes and restrictive regulations on job producers would create rapid job growth and an economic boom. It sure did.

He believed that a strong military and law enforcement were the best deterrents to external and internal threats. They are.

He hoped that enough voters were informed enough to realize that the big-government, socialistic give-away spending programs of the Washington Beltway swamp were leading the country down a path of economic and political destruction. They were.

Unfortunately, the bureaucratic swamp, the opposition and their collaborative, biased news media, were so shocked at losing the 2016 election, they immediately started everything they knew, legitimate or not, to impeach the president. They still are.

Fortunately, the Democrats failed because our Constitution’s balance of political power among Congress, the president and the Supreme Court worked the way our Founding Fathers intended. The president was acquitted.

Had this partisan impeachment worked, this balance of power, the heart of our Constitution, could have been ruined, and our great republic wounded and brought to its knees. All because one political party refused to accept the results of a legitimate election of the president.
