I heard Nancy P. say they weren’t going to “whip” the vote, meaning that the Democrat whip person is not going to strong arm anyone, count on how many will support it, persuade fence sitters, make back room deals, or any of that.
Assuming that’s true, if it passes, it will pass by a very narrow margin.
At this point, isn’t impeachment simply making a political statement? Since there’s no way Trump gets convicted in a Senate trial, isn’t all of this just a meaningless academic exercise?
And isn’t it stupid of Democrats, who are spending all this time on impeachment, instead of trying to work with Trump on legislation relating to our country’s issues? Such as, prescrition drugs, infrastructure, even immigration and dealing with Dreamers??? None of that is happening, as impeachment sucks all the oxygen out of the room.
Do the “normal” democrats really want this to go to the Senate where all their lies will be exposed?
No way? I beg to differ. Sadly, it's possible.
... isn’t all of this just a meaningless academic exercise?
Well, badgering Trump 24/7 helped the DEMs retake the House, so maybe they think if they can't remove Trump, they can at least push the GOP between a rock and a hard place and retake the Senate.
“...heard Nancy P. say they weren’t going to “whip” the vote, meaning...”
What it means is that should the off chance she doesn’t have the votes, her butt is covered.
I think we can guess that Nancy is lying
