trump prevail and those idiot Repubs sell themselves out. Once again life is not fair. I hope he soon realizes what an outstanding job he and the managers did.

on Monday. It’s old fashioned but I want him to know how much this Democrat from Montana appreciates his patriotism, his intellect and his tenacity. He was an inspiration...as were all our managers.

I'll do it, too. That's a promise.

I’m headed to my desk now.

You are a sweetheart for helping us out and giving us his address.

One will be coming from me!

I will do the same on Monday. Personal, handwritten notes are always noticed and more appreciated than a tweet or an email, etc. It means the person took the time out of their life to acknowledge them.

and I've been thinking of sending him (and staff) a gift, @ his office in the district (fresh seasonal fruit.)

I may follow you and do something like that too. I don’t think Rep Raskin can be surrounded by too much love.

I was going to do it even before I saw your post. I am going to include a short note telling him the various thoughts I had when I watched him on television.

Yes,, he did put his heart and soul into this and an outcome like this could cause burnout. That's why it's important to know how much the citizens appreciate his work, talent, intelligence, scholarship, creativity, commitment, and his understanding of patriotism (so different than nutcases who destroy in the name of patriotism).

Helped elect Tester!

He is a gem.

Thank you.

He was awesome, he deserved better.

I'd like to donate all my hearts to them.

His effort and this photo is made ever more poignant considering the man's very recent personal loss.

He deserves a standing ovation at the very least.

....because it all has finally caught up with him.

Damn, he did a great job, and he showed his brilliance. Everyone owes him.

I hope he gets some personal time after this, to rest up and recover...

His team did an excellent job. They documented Trump's guilt for all time. He also documented, the guilt and cowardly behavior of the Republican Senators. He knew that there was no reasonable chance of a conviction. The American people, even the ones who will not admit it, know what Trump did, and who Trump is and that is a victory.

As far as I am concerned Raskin is a hero of the first order.

Unlike his 43 colleagues.

to grieve and just be. He is a true American hero.

the death of his son. Losing any loved one is hard but suicide - that is rough. He did work his ass off on this and it showed. Now that this is over and he is not kept as busy, I'm sure he has some rough days ahead of him.

The Senate, however. Ended it.

and how trump's terrorist attack affected his own family (one day after burying his son!!).

I'm sure he's been running on pure adrenalin through all the impeachment preparations and testimony, keeping the grief at losing his son at bay with focusing on his work.

I hope he finds comfort and peace...

The result would have been blasted as jury nullification.

But given the spate of "Democrats CAVED" posts on this board, it's clear we DON'T all know that.

We are so fortunate to have him with us.

They got the Senate to vote to have witnesses and then backed down because they decided it was to hard and senate Republicans said they would vote against Dem noms and legislation.

They could have called witnesses.

when you finally say that last goodbye to your country.

He deserved a much, much better result. I doubt very much that it is any consolation to him, but his brilliant effort drew a lot of attention, and he has raised his profile in a huge way.

Through their diligent hard work, they have preserved for all of us the truth of January 6th. We will always remember them. We will also not forget the Republican traitors who worship power over country.

To paraphrase Lincoln: The work of Raskin and the impeachment managers was not in vain, our nation will have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people for the people shall not perish from the earth.

persuaded by reason, they would have been persuaded by Raskin (& the other managers.)

My heart goes out to him for his nevertheless understandable disappointment. Also for the fact that his grief over the loss of his son will probably hit him hard now that he has time to think of anything but the trial.
