I finally understand why the Democrats have a drunk donkey as their mascot.
House Democrats have always been in favor of an impeachment inquiry, which would be nothing new - nothing but a continuation of the dishonest and toothless grandstanding that has persisted ad nauseam since the 2016 election.
Whether or not they will ever call a formal vote to impeach - that is what is in doubt. Doing so would be risky - the vote could well fail in the House - and even if it passed - it would force the Senate to vote on whether or not to remove - a vote the Democrats would lose badly.
When the Senate responds to a House impeachment vote, and decides not to remove - it is seen by the public as a repudiation of the House’s impeachment decision - similar to the Supreme Court overturning a lower court’s ruling.
It is very bad politics - a humiliation that any smart Democrats want to avoid.
They will continue talking about impeachment, threatening impeachment, considering impeachment, inquiring into impeachment, talking about threatening to consider inquiring into impeachment. But I doubt they will ever call a formal vote.
“A majority of House Democrats are now on record publicly supporting an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, according to a CNN count.”
And a majority of Americans are in favor of American-style Nuremberg trials against the Nazi propaganda press.
You can smell the desperation and fear rolling off them as they realize that this is probably their best hat trick and it is doomed except to get the LSM to air a bunch more of their lies and rhetoric that nobody believes anyway...
