Febrile would accurately describe a lot of the behavour coming from the opposition benches and especially from overly emotional female MP's. Frustration and anger in the general population will inevitably increase until we leave the EU. People are now starting to understand the implications to them, their families and future generations if we don't.

Quite. It's patently obvious that he was withholding a massive amount of aide until he got official word that an 'investigation' would be carried out. The language, manner and technique all point towards encouraging the fabrication of wrongdoing rather than discovery of it.

It was a stupid thing to do, as more often than not the early leader doesn't even end up being the eventual nominee anyway. Still, this is a tried and tested technique of Trumps of course, especially when elections approach. He directly applied his approach to business to the presidency.. and well, I mean it worked.

Seriously? This is how superpower business works....You don't pay someone you negotiate with before you negotiate with them.

This is how presidents of any party have been operating for many decades and indeed, Biden himself is on video boosting about threatening fiscal consequences to those who didn't carry out his will.

As for your suggestion that any investigation will result in fabrication is well...a bit reaching. Besides that would just result in blowback if it did.

Trump will not be impeached for this. It has pretty much already blown over.
It is the desperation of the opposition to look at anything and call impeachment. The Stormy Daniels thing was more serious but she wasn't a Presidential aide and he wasn't the President - hence that can wait until he isn't President anymore. In around five years or so - if anyone still cares.
The transcript does not at all prove what you surmise. It would also be inadmissable in court in any case. Funny how this came out straight after the bugging news - don't you think?
This could backfire on the opposition far more than the President. Trump supporters will be thinking, great, we get arms deals and we piss off the Democrats. Two birds - one Javelin missile.

Red and Blue Army!

Why anyone sane would continue in the Democratic party is beyond me. Even Gabbard has put her name to lots of their wacko ideas.

They have moved so far to the left that say....if Warren or Sanders actually won.....You seriously wonder about the world economy and the flow of investment.

One thing would be a near certainty and that is the price of precious metals would soar as people played it safe.

"Overly emotional female MPs"?

Those ladies were quite obviously really frightened and completely sincere. If you think they were acting for the camera then I don't.

The general population includes many millions who don't agree with either you or this government and fear the implications of a no deal Brexit. Some fear a Brexit of any sort, but most will accept it so long as it is done with care and causes the least possible harm.

You seem to think you speak for everyone. Just because you have support here means very little in the bigger picture.
