During an appearance Saturday before dairy producers in west central Minnesota, Rep. Collin Peterson said unless he hears something to change his mind, he will not vote to impeach President Trump on Wednesday. Peterson also said he's optimistic about the dairy industry but not about the rest of the ag economy.

I was going to argue a bit but you’re right it’s possible...37,000 votes is about what needed to gain for Trump

My dads best us Air Force squadron pal and his wife lived in Edina

We used to go up

Minnesotans are friendliest northerners I know...I’ve always enjoyed the state

I drove from Williston to Grand Forks to Duluth to Ironwood in one day last July

Beautiful country

Democrat, Nancy Pelosi is killing the Democrat Party politically with each passing day!!! The Labor Party in the United Kingdom and their now destroyed leader, socialist, communist, leftie, Jeremy Corbyn got totally politically destroyed by the Conservative Party, led by Prime Minister & Trump Buddy, Boris Johnson. The Conservatives now own a massive 80 seat and vote advantage. The Labor Party of Britain is dead politically for at least the next five years...period!!! The same exact result will occur here in the USA come November, 2020 when the Democrat Party as a unit will get politically wiped out by POTUS, Trump & his GOP!!!

Any Democrat that casts his or her vote to impeach POTUS, Donald J. Trump is playing with political fire & suicide. Why? The Democrats have no competent POTUS candidates, they have no money and, worse of all, they have no one attending their campaign stops or listening and watching their failed , boring TV Debates!!! It’s a big, but horribly real joke. It does not pay to criticize any one Dem candidate...they are all 100% useless, losers.

Do what you will Democrats...stick with Pelosi, Schiff & Nadler....but...your House & Senate, seats will melt away quicker then a passing New York minute if you vote to impeach POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!! Your political destiny is in your own hands!!!

The Constitution was designed to put personal expediency to use for the common good. The Founders knew damn well that if they had to depend on principled men, the country would turn into a banana dictatorship before they could even invent that cliche. Men who knew what was good for them were easier to find, and still are. So long as they don’t get excessively greedy or power hungry, that will suffice.

So when’s the vote?

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Connor Lamb from PA has announced he WILL vote FOR impeachment. Slimy bastard!

[Maris Crane]

I hope that will be the last nail in an otherwise, SHORT, coffin that Lamb has built for himself.

I still have not forgiven him for winning in the first place.

A real hypocritical phony, in other words, a real democrat.

[dp0622]

Are there only 18 swing seats that dems hold?

I guess that would be important.

I dunno :)

[caww]

Connor's being groomed to run for president one day. He's a former Prosecuting Attorney with a vast history... His family has big ties in W. Pa. politics as well. His district made national news in the Primarys and the GOP socked lots of cash into trying to defeat him....He hangs with the corrupt Elites...see photo

[Candor7]

That makes three Dems peeling away from the pro Impeachment vote:

Gabbard, Van Drew and Peterson. All we need is 23 more! And we have 31 possibles!

SO MUCH WINNING!

[EnquiringMind]

So how should a Republican vote if he voted on principles? “Yes”???

[cnsmom]

The Democrats didn’t have anything in 2016 and they still don’t. Tim Kaine is a ghost of the Democrat party.The Ambitious Democrats should get behind Trump and get to work.

[dontreadthis]

“unless he hears something to change his mind”

cue a last minute deep state hoax

[bk1000]

They are going to come up just shy of enough votes to impeach. They know the consequences of moving forward.

[italianquaker]

There is no way she doesn’t have the votes
Even the phony conor lamb is voting aye

[ealgeone]

Pelozi has her 218 votes to pass impeachment.

She's told the others they can vote against it.

[palmer]

"I expect that it will pass, but Pelosi knows it will look really bad for the dems if it passes with just the bare minimum."

Not really. The fake news will just change their headline from "overwhelming" to "historic and courageous".

[bert]

The current impeachment effort will be a historical foot note to the Johnson and Clinton impeachments. There will be a historical desire to forget the debacle of 2019

[Dominick]

Or their gravy train buddies in DC. There’s no true justice. It’s just corrupt a holes in different colored jerseys, wanting to win and keep the cash flowing.
The only party in DC, the gravy train, founded by FDR, and kept running strong.
The only fight is who gets the money, your friends or their friends.

I just looked in on a political forum where I am a member this morning, the membership is about fifty/fifty, and discussion is generally pretty hot————there has not been a thread started by a Democrat in days, there are no posts from a Democrat since yesterday——they are all in hiding, and the count of Dem Congresscritters that are swearing to vote against impeachment is growing like crazy; (seems these guys are hearing from their constituents this weekend!) I predict a massacre in November.

3, this 1, the 1 who is flipping parties Jeff Van Drew to Abandon Democrat Party, Join GOP Over Impeachment, Tulsi Gabbard. And more will, as they are in red districts who went Trump in 2016. No viable Dem candidates.
