House Democrats remain divided on impeachment, with only 175 out of the party’s 235 U.S. Representatives willing to vote for ousting President Donald Trump, according to a Wednesday report citing Capitol Hill insiders.
Politico’s morning Playbook pegs the current whip count at 43 votes shy of the 218 needed to start the impeachment process: “Right now, Democratic insiders say 175 of their members would vote for impeachment today on the House floor,” write authors Anna Palmer and Jake Sherman.

Come on, do it. Make this President a martyr and lock in the declassification process.
They have the majority, so it makes sense there are Dems who are accountable to voters in places where impeachment doesn’t play well. Not everyone comes from Democratic strongholds.
Note tagline.
No crime.
No evidence of any wrong doing.
They want to impeach.
Because election results and the Will of the People mean nothing to these tyrants.
Let me guess: All 43 are from congressional districts flipped in 2018. Now, what do I win?
Amazing!, they are also 43 cards short of a Full Deck, uncanny coincidence.
Those 45 don’t want to commit political suicide

...
Is voting for an impeachment process the same as voting for impeachment, or is this more garbage from Breitbart?
Come on, do it.
I hope you’re right in encouraging this action.
My patience to see heads roll and indictments to be handed down has pretty much expired.
As you stated, if the RATS proceed with their treachery, the FISA documents, etc., will inevitably be declassified and the world will know how this coup began.
Then, PDJT will be reelected in a landslide and the RATS will be relegated to the a**heap of history.
There are around 30 to 40 Democrats from Trump districts who are balking. They’d be asked to commit political suicide.
Think they want to do it? Only if they got GOP political cover, which is never going to happen.
Good luck with impeachment.
“Is voting for an impeachment process the same as voting for impeachment, or is this more garbage from Breitbart?”
The latter. The headline is garbage.
Completely DEAD ON ARRIVAL in Senate....
They can probably find 43 Republicans to vote with them.
Just posturing on the RATs part to keep their rabid supporters at bay. I don’t think they’ll ever have an impeachment vote!
And about 15 or 16 votes short of conviction in the Senate.
The real number is closer to 100 shy. Impeachment is not a winning issue and there aren’t that many sure fire seats.
175 democrats have no understanding on how they vote. This goes on every issue. It’s worse then I thought.
43 votes out of 235 is not “shy”. That is a tremendous threshold.
Nadler is a clown running a three ring circus. What’s amazing is the corrupt media acts like this is serious and not the folly it is.
