A Not everyone is sold on those stories, by a lot. There is some middle ground in the US, (dare I say the Silent Majority? Well, Silent Middle-Ground anyway,) and some people are appalled at his behavior, and see the danger in selling off our elections.
What in the f--- are you talking about? Seriously?
Selling off our elections?
This is the kind of absurdity in the Democratic electorate that is almost incomprehensible. YOU JUST VOTED FOR AND SUPPORTED A CANDIDATE IN 2016 WHO FUNNELED MONEY TO A BRITISH INTELLIGENCE AGENT WHO RELIED ON A RUSSIAN SOURCE FOR THE DOSSIER, which the IG report just demonstrated to be a total joke. That is the epitome of "selling off our elections" - it is hiring a foreign intelligence agent relying on foreign sources to smear a political opponent.
Not only that, but the completely anti-Trump POLITICO reported on January 11, 2017 on exactly what Trump brought up in the call with Biden - namely, Ukrainian election interference. Who wrote the story? Two authors, one of whom was Kenneth Vogel. And Vogel does not work for Fox News. He is now with the New York Times. Here it is:
Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire
Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Clinton.
Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found.
A Ukrainian-American operative who was consulting for the Democratic National Committee met with top officials in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation.
The Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping to force Manafort’s resignation and advancing the narrative that Trump’s campaign was deeply connected to Ukraine’s foe to the east, Russia. But they were far less concerted or centrally directed than Russia’s alleged hacking and dissemination of Democratic emails.

So Moxie, was Trump "selling off our elections" by repeating information from a 2017 Politico report written by a journalist who now works for the New York Times?
Better yet, the ringleader of this impeachment is Adam Schiff. And here is that bungling, dishonest buffoon on the phone with Russian pranksters asking for dirt on Trump:
Are you going to complain about Schiff "selling off our elections"?
And no, he's not a good campaigner. He's good at whipping a rally of true believers into a frenzy. Not the same.
True believers in what? Economic pragmatism? Trump is hardly anything more than an economic pragmatist who makes the most basic, common-sense arguments against the left while making the economy fly. That's all he is doing. He is not promoting irrational, fact-free theories about politics and humanity like the Democrats are.
The Democrats are the party of "true believers" in absurd and twisted ideas, not Trump when he talks about such rudimentary concepts as better trade deals, reduced regulations, higher employment rates, the stock market going up, and controlling the border.
Perhaps that's why American unemployment is at its lowest level in over 50 years.
