The Dims are in a pickle.

At least 1/4 of their caucus does NOT want to see this play out in the Senate.

Therefore there will not be 218 votes IF articles are ever introduced.

That’s right: “IF”.

I posted somewhere last week (either here on FR or a friends Fakebook page..) that the Blue Dog Democrats are NOT going to vote for impeachment. One or more of their members have already said so that impeachment is a non-starter with them.

If we subtract them from the equation, there aren't enough Democrats left to vote in favor of impeachment. I said last Sunday morning that Democrats didn't have the votes and if they did schedule a vote it'd fail.

I think President Trump also knows this and his call this morning to impeach him and force the trial in the Senate is scaring the piss out of Pelosi and Schiffhead right now.

The truth is, Pelosi and Schiff don't WANT a trial. They simply want to hang their lies over President Trump's head until next election day.

If that fails, their next goal is to delegitimize the next election if President Trump wins (and he will. By huge margins.)
