House Democrat leaders backed off the idea of immediately launching impeachment proceedings against President Trump in an urgent conference call Monday evening, amid a growing rift among the party's rank-and-file members, presidential contenders and committee chairs on the contentious issue.

Fox News is told by two senior sources on the conference call that even House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters, an anti-Trump firebrand, told fellow Democrats that while she personally favored going forward with impeachment proceedings, she was not pushing for other members to join her.

Waters' hesitation signaled clearly that, for the time being, any impeachment effort would struggle to gain steam.

Ah, cold feet they get. Sadly, they probably realize they can cause more damage longer with the status quo than by an impeachment that would likely hurt them.

So Its all about throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Trump to stick. But don’t do what I am doing -do another thing, because we we believe in diversification of scandals to stick. So just a aheads up to successfully divide Trump’s support. Geesh.

What’s going on behind the scenes if Pelosi issues her letter and Maxine herself says no to peachin 45.

Is that a sign of solar flare activity or the shifting of the Earth’s magnetic field?

What it means is that the “leading” cadre realizes
that it’s a losing proposition and doesn’t want to
kill any chance they think they have in 2020.

The Progs don’t care, as they think the old guard is
just in the way in any event.

They don’t want to play that empeachmrnt card until just before the election so that Trump will not have time to refute their “Phony Baloney” charges.

They probably expect to win in a landslide in 2020 (no one they know likes Trump) and it's just a question of figuring out who would make the strongest ticket, after pretending to leave it to the voters in the primaries to decide. So best not to alienate low information voters with an impeachment circus which will leave Trump still in office.

Biden/Abrams?
Bernie/Kamala?
Kamala/Buttigieg?
Biden/Castro?
Abrams/Waters?
Buttigieg/Booker?

Trump should weaponize Twitter with the DNC DECLASSIFIED TREASON OF THE DAY! And start slow declassifying a document every other day that proves the Hillary and the DNC were trying to overthrow the Government. I’m sure Trump Has more than enough documentation to Unleash Hell and when they beg for mercy, step on their necks!

Can we dare to dream of the Left's internecine war with third or fourth party action? Tell me "yes."

Just our luck if Mitt and a Libertarian offer magnanimously to accept the presidency to heal the nation's wounds. If France can have ten parties form coalitions that could be our nightmare future, too.

Dem mentality is that Clinton was impeached because of a political cabal and the republicans were punished for it, but the republicans were punished because they didn’t remove the stain... so the Dems are wary thinking they could impeach, but the republicans s will not remove trump. What they forget is Clinton was guilty of a crime, and trump is not.
