Here was a Republican finally saying that yes, the sky is blue. Up is up. Down is down. But, he added, he didn't believe that Trump, in an election year, should be impeached for this "inappropriate" action. Still, this was, in a way, a breakthrough. One GOP senator had concluded that the Democrats were right: Trump had engaged in this corrupt scheme. Alexander was also essentially calling Trump, his lawyers, and most of the GOP -- who had repeatedly said there was no such plot -- liars.
Oddly, after Alexander tweeted his statement, Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Trump pit bull who has refused to concede there was anything improper with Trump's interactions with Ukraine, tweeted that Alexander had "most likely expressed the sentiments of the country as a whole as well as any single Senator possibly could."

Long story short, @SenatorAlexander most likely expressed the sentiments of the country as a whole as well as any single Senator possibly could.
Those who hate Trump and wish to take the voters choice away in an unfounded manner, Sen. Alexander rightly rejected their arguments.

To those who believe that all was "perfect," Senator Alexander made reasoned observations and conclusions based on the evidence before him. He called it as he saw it to be.
Well done Lamar!
