I think that only some 60 House RATs (only a quarter) have said that they support impeachment. I don’t think that if the Republicans stand aa a bloc (and I worry about that some), that the more centrist RATs will not go along with their loony Lefties and vote to impeach. All the GOP needs is some 30 to 40 RAT defections, and it’s a non-starter. That’s why Peelousey is where she is on the issue today. She knows the votes aren’t there, and the negative fallout from a failed impeachment vote would be the final nail in the RATs coffin.
Last time I saw James Clyburn, House Majority Whip, discuss impeachment a few weeks ago, he very clearly said there is not a majority in the Dem House caucus that would vote to impeach Trump.
