Never mind!
All poll driven.
The Dem base would revolt wholesale. They’ve got no choice but to impeach on a party line vote(give or take a handful), and the Senate has no choice but to acquit on a party line vote (give or take 1 or 2).
Keep thinking that.
I’ve noticed the media is very quiet on anything to do with impeachment. Probably wait for further commands from Central Planning.
They might drop the charges and see it as a win/win.
They can still constantly refer to it through the whole campaign cycle, saying it is a shame they didn’t have enough votes even though they had ‘proof’.
(D) stands for DE-LUSIONAL.........................
They’re gonna look pretty foolish if they don’t proceede.
The Dem Base is revolting!
Yes, they stink on ice!......................
You have to wonder what’s going on in Schiff’s mind over this.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe a 2/3 super-majority vote is required to impeach. I don’t believe the House has the votes.
No, it’s 2/3 needed in the senate to remove from office. House just needs a majority.
They have to have an ‘official’ vote first, to open an official inquiry, which they have not actually had................
While an impeachment vote or censure are the two options under discussion, there is another option that would be a classic DC swamp maneuver.
Wait for it.....
Stall....
“Our investigation is ongoing and we want to make the effort to persuade our colleagues in the Senate to vote for conviction......”
Stall right through the election—which is only one year away...
Don’t be shocked if they choose that option.
That’s in the Senate.
All the House needs is a majority................
Just so I understand the situation.
If Joe Biden had someone Murdered overseas when he was Vice President to protect his Son, he couldn’t be Investigated because he is running for POTUS?
The far left makes a lot of noise, but I’m not so sure that faction runs so deep in the democrat party. In other words, I’m not sure there are that many.
Pelosi can alienate the far left by squelching the impeachment effort, or she can alienate the silent majority of democrats who lean left, but are not crazy left.
I no longer think Trump will be impeached.
What the heck were they watching? Flawless? Every single witness said no bribery, no extortion, and no illegal quid pro quo. The witnesses can also scream “I am nonpartisan” all they want but theses were all democrats (Not sure on Sondland). Disgruntled employees, Soros hacks and even some question of their loyalty to the U.S. over Ukraine. Still they found nothing wrong except their own wacko perceptions.
Or stick driven. Trump probably has dirt on Pelosi and son’s connections with drug cartels and China.
