In a wave election like this, is shoot yourself in the foot is the worst thing you can do. Don't do something that's going to drive Trump's base to the polls in a year when their turnout is already depressed, and don't do something that makes moderates turn on you.

ultimately accountable to the law. Not on a pre-decision to impeach.

If they had asked if they would vote for someone who promoted letting the investigation fully run its course and making a decision based on those conclusions, even if it meant impeachment, I'd bet the answer would be quite different.

what's off the table is being seen as lusting for impeachment. that's the political trap.

once the facts and evidence are out in the open and the situation *demands* impeachment, then democrats can sign on *reluctantly*. forced into it by the weight of damning evidence, not out of any political goal.

that plays a hell of a lot better than appearing to be rooting for it.


again, it doesn't mean it's off the table, it just means it's not on the table *yet*.



but it sure as hell looks like it'll be worth discussing soon....!

Never say it is off the table. Let the investigation run its course and appropriate measures should then be taken which can mean nothing needs to be done.


...but yes...I’m very much in favor of impeachment! This administration is unbearable.

we don't want democratic candidates discussing anything to do with impeachment BEFORE the election. PERIOD

They aren't chosen by their peers as leaders of their caucuses for being dumb.
