President Trump has all but dared Democrats to attempt impeachment, because he knows it is a loser issue for Democrats. He’d come out smelling like a rose, while Democrats would be hurt. Nancy Pelosi knows this, so she’s been attempting to mitigate the enthusiasm by elected Democrats to make it happen
Pelosi asks Democrats for ‘leverage’ on impeachment
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday suggested that House Democrats should refrain from pushing for President Trump’s impeachment, warning that a premature effort to oust the president could undermine her case for doing so down the road.
“The public isn’t there on impeachment. It’s your voice and constituency, but give me the leverage I need to make sure that we’re ready and it is as strong as it can be,†Pelosi told Democrats during a caucus-wide conference call on Friday afternoon, according to a source on the call.
Pelosi made the comments in response to Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), who shared how people in her district wanted to talk about impeachment.
While advocating for a cautious approach, Pelosi didn’t rule out the possibility of impeachment. The Democratic leader has faced continued pressure on the issue as the number of Democrats who have come out in support for impeachment in some form has swelled to at least 130.
“The equities we have to weigh are our responsibility to protect and defend the Constitution and to be unifying and not dividing. But if and when we act, people will know he gave us no choice. If he cannot respect the Constitution, we’ll have to deal with that. It’s about patriotism, not partisanship,†Pelosi said Friday.
Ah, but it is about partisanship, known colloquially as Trump Derangement Syndrome. And she hit the point that the public isn’t interested in playing this impeachment game. Realistically, if they don’t have evidence now, they will not be getting it in the future. They can continue on this Don Quixote journey, but, it won’t end well, and she knows it. She’s having to act like a mom to squabbling teens, tamping down expectations without hurting their feelings. Ones who aren’t listening. You almost feel sorry for Pelosi, considering all the wackos, Jew haters, and complete nutjobs who’ve been elected to the Democratic Party, but, then, you realize she and her ilk have enabled this over the years.
Especially when she does this
At DNC summer meeting, Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicts 2020 will be a "tough election."
"You have to be ready to take a punch," she says. "And therefore you have to be ready to throw a punch—for the children." https://t.co/JsAo4rT8TM pic.twitter.com/kFlfDBNIsq

Great slogan: “Throw a punch for the children.”
