Trump tried to use the power of the office to maintain his hold on the office.
It's fine if the President holds campaign rallies.  His opponents are allowed to do that too.
It's fine if the President meets the troops for a photo op.  His opponents can do that too.
It's not fine for him to try to twist another country's arm to get them to interfere in the election. Because his opponents can't do that - he shouldn't be able to either.

You can try to assert that his request had nothing to do with the campaign, but, the evidence so far says it did.
You can try to assert that the arm twisting was part of normal diplomacy, but, the evidence so far says it was not.  
The President will be able to submit new evidence to the Senate, but, as things stand, the evidence we have says he violated the Impoundment Control Act in order to also violate the Federal Election Campaign Act.

Oh ok.  Not sure what “evidence” you have but whatever.  If you don’t think this isn’t just a left hissy fit, I can’t help you.
