Impeach THIS!

Pelosi's War with the Impeachment Hotheads  "Speaker Pelosi and her party are no longer on the same page.  Mrs. Pelosi's recent revelation that she's not for impeachment directly contradicts the political priorities of many — if not most — on the American left.  Recent actions by House Democrats make this clear.  By most indications, number one on the progressive agenda is not national security, the economy, jobs, health care, education, abortion, or even the climate.  The highest priority for many congressional Democrats and their base is the impeachment of President Trump.  As Byron York noted last week:" . . .

. . . "In case you've forgotten — Mrs. Pelosi seems not to have — Democrats did gain control of the U.S. House not by promising, pledging, or even hoping to impeach President Trump.  They could not have flipped as many GOP-leaning districts as they did with such a message.  Democrats gained control of the U.S. House by talking down impeachment, dismissing impeachment, or ignoring it altogether." . . .

The forces of impeachment:

. . . "With the Mueller investigation looking more and more like a dud and the Russia-Trump collusion farce being exposed for what it really is, many Democrats now want to target President Trump's finances as a means of impeachment.  "Impeachment is the only answer," says Maxine Waters — right, because nothing else has worked so far." . . .


. . ." If collusion has truly collapsed, to pivot to Trump's finances as an attempt to remove him from office only makes Democrats appear as if their mouths remain filled with sour grapes over the 2016 election.  A seasoned politician such as Mrs. Pelosi knows this all too well.  Thus, avoiding impeachment is not a matter of President Trump not being "worth it."  It's simply a matter of election math and politics.  Speaker Pelosi may need to conduct some tutorials."   Full article here.
