Not worth impeaching?

New York Times, 3-11-2019

" WASHINGTON — Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, who has played down talk of impeachment for months, ratcheted up her objections to trying to remove President Trump from office in an interview published on Monday. "

" “Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country,” she added. “And he’s just not worth it.” "

…………………………..

Has there ever been a President more worthy of impeachment? Isn't our country completely divided already? If trump were a Democrat would the Republicans impeach him? Are we giving trump a pass to engender Republican support for needed legislation? Doesn't most Dems feel trump is already impeachable? If Republicans embrace trump why not force them to go to the mat for him? Wouldn't an impeachment unify the Democratic Party?

What do you think of Nancy now?

...I'm disappointed...

and left a red mark.

There aren't 20 pukes in the senate who will convict, so he's not worth the effort to impeach.....at this time.

If you think the Senate will convict him today and if you think his actions will mirror Nixon's more than Clinton's, then you are gravely mistaken. Impeaching now is a bad tactic for Dems, no matter how much the base wants him impeached.

Nancy is correct. He is not worth impeaching today given what is guaranteed to happen afterwards.

Investigations are ramping up and then there is the Mueller report. Pelosi is stuck to this in no way. This is today’s “public Pelosi” today. Impeaching before the Mueller report and any thorough investigation is not the way to go.

And she's establishing her fair-mindedness by not demanding impeachment before the facts are in.

When the legal evidence is in, and it's as damning as we all expect, then she will reluctantly call for impeachment, because the evidence is so "compelling" and "overwhelming."
