Compare and contrast

What has she got that they ain't got?  Courage!

It would have been easy for my Congressional Representative, Elissa Slotkin, who won her first election last November as a Democrat in a red district, to have remained on the sidelines as the revelations of Trump's traitorous quid pro quo with the Ukrainian President came to light.  She could have proclaimed that she wasn't certain it rose to the level of impeachable offenses, and that the people of her district, MI-08, sent her to Washington to help solve their problems, and not get involved in political quibbling.

Instead, Rep. Slotkin saw Trump's actions for what they are:  a direct threat to our Constitution, our rule of law, and our democracy and she boldly called for Trump's impeachment, despite the difficulty it will present when she runs for re-election next year, and despite the fact that it literally puts her political career in jeopardy.

Compare her political courage to that of republicans, who in light of all the evidence before them are either choosing to ignore or making excuses for Trump's actions with regard to the Ukraine, all in the name of saving their political asses.

When it comes to republicans, it seems their newfound strategy when the going gets tough in the Trump era is to tuck tail and run.

Doesn't bode too well for the future of our country, does it?

Fuck Donald Trump,
