I’m thinking they don’t have the votes.
How embarrassing would that be if they can't even get all the Democrats on the committee to vote the way they want.
I think a little buzzer went off in his head an' that was the signal to shut 'er down.
I was thinking the votes aren’t there, so they want to bury the result under the weekend shopping blizzard, they’ll vote early Friday evening as the Christmas Parties start.
They got nuthin.
That’s what I think. Stretch and Fatso need more time to make more intimidating phone calls to dem and rhino house members.
wouldn’t that be the bee’s knee’s!
Or maybe it’s such a fiasco that he does’t want it splashed across weekday headlines.
One or the other?
Both?
Neither?
And where the heck was I?
That last one was a joke from “The Naked Gun” :)
I’m sure they have the votes in committee. Probably straight party line, though losing even 1 would be highly embarrassing. I suspect they just want it to be covered on live TV, then the media will have one last chance to make the sale.
There is a slim possibility that they are reading the tea leaves and having second thoughts. Having seemingly LOST public support, despite a one sided and rigged process. They have already watered it down to just 2 weak and nebulous charges, still failing to close the deal with voters. Surely they see that a Senate trial, under the control of Mitch McConnell, will be an absolute disaster for them. Add in Trump trade victories with China and USMCA, a booming economy, and the big win for UK Conservatives.
Still, I suspect they are beyond the point of no return. Full speed ahead, next stop, impeachment.
Now just imagine what they're doing to get them.
“I’m thinking they don’t have the votes.”
Same here. The Rats have to do some serious arm twisting.
That’s what I said to my wife last night. Can’t imagine they don’t have the votes to get out of committee, but I can’t think of any other reason. All they need is a simple majority. They should have been able to call for a vote anytime and win. It was interesting that yesterday during a heated interlude Republican Doug Collins asked for exactly that and was blown off by Nadler. Maybe Collins knows something.
75 percent likelihood.
They want to determine if they can let some members skate so the dems can keep the majority in the house next election. No majority... no further impeachments or power to poop on us, and Trump will bulldoze their stalinist-commie agenda for the next 4 years.
I dont see any path to victory for them.
This may be like an early Christmas present… for us!
They have the votes. This is all about TV coverage.
