He didn't ask Ukraine to dig up any dirt. What Trump did was ask if the Ukraine president was aware of the illegal dealings and if they planned on investigating. That's not abuse of power. What Biden did was abuse of power.

I think Trump abused power, but that is why hearings are held.. to find out more. I'm waiting to see how it plays out, I personally would not vote to impeach based on what is currently known. neither will I spin as you did, the Republican narrative of "hit back when they hit you, to justify our reasons for stonewalling".
as Jimmy Carter said, the general public doesn't like the look of Trump's stonewalling, that is the reason a majority favors an impeachment inquiry. the Administration is not passing a reasonable smell test right now.
