All The President "admitted to" was talking on the phone with Ukraine's President and specifically mentioning corruption.

The left is all frothed up over an unnamed whistle-blower saying that allegedly an "unspecified promise" was made.  The thing is the unnamed whistle-blower didn't have first hand knowledge of what the phone conversation was about or what was said.

There is no evidence that President Trump used the power of the Presidency to blackmail a foreign government about anything.

This is an interesting oxymoron.
Corruption is a broad category.
You can't "specifically mention corruption" any more than you can describe America in a single photograph.
What you can do is specifically mention an instance of corruption.  And Trump chose to highlight something that would make one of his domestic political rivals look bad.
Would you have been ok with a President Hillary doing that? Or a President Jimmy Carter doing it?

What is that specific instance of corruption?

Quote from POTUS a few minutes ago:

"I am currently at the United Nations representing our Country, but have authorized the release tomorrow of the complete, fully declassified and unredacted transcript of my phone conversation with President Zelensky of Ukraine. You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call. No pressure and, unlike Joe Biden and his son, NO quid pro quo! This is nothing more than a continuation of the Greatest and most Destructive Witch Hunt of all time!"
