Nancy Pelosi’s effort to thread the needle on impeachment could end up disappointing Democrats while giving Republicans the hate-rage jet fuel on which they thrive. ed_kilgore writes

It’s tough to second-guess Nancy Pelosi, but it could happen.

That should concern Democrats. The decision by Nancy Pelosi to quickly enact narrow articles of impeachment before the 2020 election year formally begins may well indicate that she views it as a distraction at best and as a potential problem for Democrats at worst. These attitudes should be unsurprising given her steady resistance to going down that road until the Ukraine scandal broke and the Democratic rank and file shifted massively into the pro-impeachment camp.

At the same time, though, impeachment has gone far enough to unite Republicans behind Trump and give them the relentless talking point they have already agreed upon and will repeat like a meditative chant at any moment Republican partisans need a fresh burst of energy: impeachment is a coup designed to rob American voters of their right to elect — or reelect — the president of their choice.

ed_kilgore Exactly

What a shocker: bad-faith 'advice' that is both misogynist and undermining of Democrats as opposed to fauxgressiev Bernie brats. So sick of NYmag's shit.

ed_kilgore No, all my anger is squarely where it should be: trump and the republicans who continue to let him terrorize our country

ed_kilgore The whole effort is to get voters in Az, Co, and Maine to vote in Dem Senators.

ed_kilgore Booooooooo!

ed_kilgore Hate-rage jet fuel on which they thrive? I hope they paid you extra for that.

ed_kilgore She should worry about her corrupt don

ed_kilgore Well, I look at it this way…if Dems/libs are stupid enough to let this help trump get re-elected, the only comfort I’ll have is that in the end, we’ll all lose equally!!! 🌎🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊⚰️😐

ed_kilgore dems hv left all of unsatisfied. they lost the last election over the last 20 + years of complacency, poor planning, lack of unification & vision, nt 2 mention no bench strength. all the while, the GOP perfected their ‘entitled hetero-white man greedy seedy hypocritical hateful

ed_kilgore They are doing their job...misguided as this effort seems to be.. 🦅

ed_kilgore The idea that some Democrats - given everything we have learned! - would vote down these narrowly-drawn articles of impeachment simply to bolster their reelection chances blows my mind

ed_kilgore Productive, not

ed_kilgore What is this pablum?

ed_kilgore The Democrats need strong vibrant young leadership

ed_kilgore OR she may succeed and confound the pundits.

Pelosi offers some trade policy with that impeachmentWASHINGTON (AP) — For the House progressives: a pair of impeachment articles against President Donald Trump. For the vulnerable Democratic freshmen: charges that are narrowly focused on Ukraine.... That’s how you govern I am not taking anything away from Pelosi, she got it over the hump of Dem concerns, but seriously.....a trade agreement “backed by Trump”? This was his baby and everyone knows it. How about she finally got off her ass and did something. The trade agreement has only been sitting on her desk for a year.

Eric Trump says Nancy Pelosi is in 'hysterical spot' over impeachment, will lose speakership if she doesn't play 'game'The president's son also said Pelosi had 'lost control' of her caucus and was under pressure from 'radical leftists.' Ohhh Eric. Sit down little boy and stop trying to play big politics. The only thing you know got to do is steal from charity. Eric Trump is in no position to be giving political advice to anyone. I know that Eric and Don Jr have been referred to as Bevis and Butthead. Now is Eric supposed to be Butthead or is It Don Jr? Off hand I'd say it must be Eric. Am I right?
