Under-siege Dems in Trump districts keep impeachment decision close to the vest
Fox News ^

WASHINGTON — An all but inevitable House floor vote to impeach President Trump is poised to come down to a few dozen moderate Democrats who, under heavy and sustained pressure from both sides of the debate, are staying steadfastly mum on their decision.

“I will not operate on anyone’s timeline,” said freshman Rep. Max Rose, D-N.Y., who is a prime target of GOP efforts to either kill impeachment or at least encourage Democratic defections. “I will not operate on pressure from anyone.”

Rose is among the 31 House Democrats from districts where Trump won in 2016. Those swing districts were critical to Democrats' winning control of the House last year, and now those members are needed by the party leadership if Trump is to become the third president ever impeached.

Rose announced he was against impeachment in the wake of the Russia report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller, but then supported the inquiry over Trump’s request for Ukraine to investigate Democrats. Whether he and other swing-district Democrats would extend that support to impeachment itself remains unclear, and may continue to be right up until the floor vote.

Anyone know if there's a list out there of these 30 swing districts ? Nice to have it available.

My district - NJ-11 - is definitely one of them.

There is no “keeping” anything.

They vote for this, then they are gone.

They better look at the election returns in the United Kingdom. Don’t they know this is the stakes that awaits them if they impeach.

Fraudulent political theater. They will release some vulnerable Dems so they can vote against and go home and try to lie their way back into office

It will not save these Dem filth. They voted to authorize this clown show and that albatross will be hung around their neck all next year.

Pelosi said she will not pressure. BS of course, her s*it show will look even worse with defections it won’t be tolerated. She offers candy and the squad is doing the threatening with primary warnings.

You can be sure they are noticing what is happening tonight.

Our mass media won’t talk about it, but you can be sure the Democrat phones are ringing tonight—the panic is there—you can _smell_ it.

I was shocked at the returns and HUGH margin Boris got today. The Liberals were soundly defeated and Bexit will now happen. Trump will destroy the socialists here also. Cut your loses or you will never recover in my lifetime.

“They vote for this, then they are gone.”

Correction.

If the Democrats pass an impeachment by the narrowest of margins, they’re gone anyway. Their party splitting, even marginally, is a complete disaster for them absent a similar number of Republicans turning traitor.

A Democrat is a Democrat, the the Republican ads will drop from the sky like bombs.

None of them will do the right thing for America. It’s all about the party.

I would suggest that these Thirty-One (31) Democrats on the fence over the POTUS, Trump Impeachment take a good hard look at the Great Britain election outcome today. It says it all for the entire Democrat party, Casting your vote to impeach POTUS, Donald J. Trump is political sucicde for all of you. Ya all better wise up and screw failed Speaker Pelosi, Schiff & Nadler...100%. Your choice...fools...dummies!!!
