View Full Version : Nancy Pelosi and impeachment

I heard an interesting take on Nancy Pelosi's conundrum, as regarding President Trump, on Outnumbered this morning. Essentially, it was this: Nancy Pelosi has been walking a tightrope, as her hard-left base deeply wants him impeached; yet that is--she knows--contrary to Democrats' best interests.

However, what with Robert Mueller's elucidation, today, as regarding his own report--plus a Republican defection recently (the libertarian--and quite iconoclastic--Justin Amash)--it may now be increasingly difficult to stay on that tightrope.

Personally, I hope that the Democrats do impeach--as I have mentioned previously, Donald Trump would never be convicted by the Senate (which would require a two-thirds supermajority). And the backlash against the Democrats would surely hurt them in the 2020 elections.

The counter-argument, of course, is that it would energize their base. And it would surely succeed in doing that.

But it would also turn off independents.

And I believe that the latter is of greater consequence.

The Democratic base isn't hard left.

There will be no impeachment until the Republicans in the Senate retrieve their spines from wherever they've put them for safekeeping.

Hate to break it to you but it has nothing to do with a lack of spine, even tho all of Washington DC lacks spine. With the exception of one man. BTW the "hard left" is the dems version of the Tea Party which did cause the republican party issues. Their turn in the barrel.

All that said there is great risk with impeachment. While Barr does what the growing majority wants (to see how this got started), if the dems act right now and certain facts come out that we know likely happened. Like they/Trump were spied on by using bogus information used as intel at the FISA court. Then an impeachment is a death sentence for the dem party. THEY are DOA in 2020.

If I were the dems I wouldn't run out their too quick, Nancy is correct. It is dangerous.

BTW he does not deserve impeachment for not complying with congressional subpoena's. All these witnesses just answered all of Mueller's questions. They have their testimony to review. 35 million dollars worth of testimony. They want to drag these people back in with a minimum cost of $50,000 per session to be represented? The White House counsel and many are available to executive privilege. Clearly the legal counsel is for sure. BTW many of these people are not rich people. They need to go through this again? All in the name of politics? No!

This has nada to do with spine. If dems had spine then IMPEACH! Otherwise shut up about spine.

Not true. Just an excuse. If you have the goods then impeach or you are the ones that are spineless. End of story. If you are scared to “do the right thing” then shut the hell up!

There's no question Trump legally deserves impeachment. Meuller just confirmed that. At this stage, only the most fanatically devoted GOP apparatchiks still try to deny that, and even they don't really believe it. They're just repeating the propaganda that TheParty has handed to them.

The question is whether impeachment should be proceeded with, given how Putin's patsies -- The Republican senate and Republican base -- will all choose to put Russian interests over American interests. If the impeachment won't have any effect, why bother? Plenty of time to convict Trump and his criminal gang after he leaves office.

My opinion is to leave Trump be. He's the anchor that will drag down the corrupt and treasonous GOP in 2020, causing the GOP to suffer catastrophic losses across the board. GOP candidates will have to choose between embracing DearLeaderTrump and angering all loyal Americans, or defying TheParty and angering their base. Either way, they lose.

Mueller said no such thing. If anyone's repeating propaganda it is reflected by your comments.


What evidence do you have that anyone is "Putin's patsies"? What decisions are coming out of the Trump administration which look to be friendly to Putin? What Russian interests are taking a higher priority than American interests? This Putin nonsense should have been put to rest long ago.


I have a feeling that the 2020 election isn't going to pan out as you predict.

Pelosi is in a tough spot politically. The hard left base of the Democratic Party is demanding in preachment. By not folowing through with it, she risks alienating that base which may cause many of them to sit out the next election.

By impeaching, she risks failing to attract the more moderate voters who rejected Hillary Clinton.


It's actually looking bad for her and the Democrats no matter which way she goes.

Impeachment is not the way to go for the democrats; there is no way you'd ever get the 2/3rd's majority in the Senate as long as the republicans have it stocked with Trump robots. I say let him finish out his term of office, just let congress keep him contained where he can do as little damage to the country as possible. The democrat base is already energized; if this congressional investigation turns up anything concrete, then use it against him during the campaign in 2020.

To smear all those who do not believe that Donald Trump should be impeached as mere "Trump robots" is, by implication, to claim that no thinking person could possibly believe that he does not deserve to be impeached.

Is that really your position?

(By the way, to refer to Republicans in the Senate as mere "Trump robots" is not only unkind; it is also highly inaccurate. Almost all of these are establishment Republicans; which is certainly not a good description of Donald Trump, himself.)

Honestly, yes. Obviously not every single senator is a robot, but a vast majority of them are IMO. I base this on my observations since Trump was sworn into office. Many of them are afraid of retribution if they don't toe the line. Many of them are concerned with being re-elected and need Trumps support if they expect assistance from the RNC.

I don't consider my description to be a smear, especially when you take into account here what some people in this forum refer to democrats as. I just think it's a rather accurate description in this case. I understand your position on this, so we'll have to agree to disagree.

If the impeachment won't have any effect, why bother? Plenty of time to convict Trump and his criminal gang after he leaves office.

My opinion is to leave Trump be. He's the anchor that will drag down the corrupt and treasonous GOP in 2020, causing the GOP to suffer catastrophic losses across the board. GOP candidates will have to choose between embracing DearLeaderTrump and angering all loyal Americans, or defying TheParty and angering their base. Either way, they lose.
There is no question that you are wrong and couldnt comprehend what mueller said and didnt say, As far as the rest of this post its drivel

Do try to keep up. Trump just admitted the Russians aided his re-election.

And you all spent years claiming that wasn't the case. We were right, you were wrong. And DearLeader just tossed you under the bus.

So why do you think you fell for the propaganda?



You can't actually be that ignorant of events, can you? Have you been exposed to any info at all from outside of your cult?

Before I post the long list, will you admit that if I do post it, it will show the Trump admin has been in bed with Putin? I don't want to waste my time just to have you handwave it all away.

No Trump....only pulled a Demo. He misspoke. Due to Tweeting about just how lame the Demos and the Borg Drones are. He just needs to go real slow so your ilk can comprehend.

Democrats and the sore loser media are grasping at straws. I love how they're using Trump's tweet yesterday as if it's an admission of guilt, when in reality it was the equivalent of Obama saying the words "my Muslim faith" in an interview.

Mueller didn't say anything new in his press conference and they're seriously dreaming if they think the press conference changed any minds. "Well, he didn't say he DIDN'T commit a crime" is a pathetic spin because that was not their end goal. They were not merely trying to prove that he committed a crime, they were trying to use wimpy Senate Republicans like McCain to remove him and it failed.

At most, they can turn Trump into "disgraced" former president Bill Clinton. Except it would be in vain because everyone knew Bill Clinton committed a crime while we can't say the same for Trump.

Yes, the "Putin patsy" thing is a clear demonstration of insanity.

Are you actually denying that Trump removed sanctions on one of Putin's oligarch pals, that the Democrats in the senate tried to override that, and that the Republican senate blocked them? That McConnell and Rand were the deciding votes, and that same Aluminum oligarch is funneling big bucks into Kentucky? The magnitude of the scandal there makes Uranium One look like nothing (mostly because Uranium one was nothing).

Is it that you're fine with that kind of corruption, or is it that your masters didn't tell you about it?

Trump? The Russians own him. Money-wise, the Trump empire is built on Russian money. Why do you think he's hiding his finances?

The Democrats just tried passing a bill to secure our election system from Russian meddling. McConnell blocked it. McConnell seems to want more Russian hacking of our election system, which indisputably did happen in Florida.

"I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected".

Is this the statement manmooth is hanging his admission of guilt on? The only possible interpretation of that statement is that President Trump knew the Russians were helping him be elected but he didn't assist them? The more logical interpretation of "The Russians did not attempt to help me win the election and for you to claim I had something to do with it is ludicrous. I could not have help them do something they never did" This is the meaning that even a person with half his brain tied behind his back would understand. Not some convoluted admission of guilt.

The Democratic base isn't hard left.

There will be no impeachment until the Republicans in the Senate retrieve their spines from wherever they've put them for safekeeping.

Heck, there are only 40 or 50 democrats in the House that want impeachment along with the #NeverTrumper Amash so it isn't going anywhere.

I’m saying that the Trump administration has not made any decision which is beneficial to Russia or putting their interests ahead of US interests. In fact Trump strengthened sanctions on Russia.

Impeachment is not the way to go for the democrats; there is no way you'd ever get the 2/3rd's majority in the Senate as long as the republicans have it stocked with Trump robots. I say let him finish out his term of office, just let congress keep him contained where he can do as little damage to the country as possible. The democrat base is already energized; if this congressional investigation turns up anything concrete, then use it against him during the campaign in 2020.

Name a Senate robot.

You realize the Trump voters re also energized.

The far left won't vote for Biden. The moderates won't vote for the far left.

Hw will serve two terms. That's a plural word.

How can Congress find anything that Mueller couldn't?

To smear all those who do not believe that Donald Trump should be impeached as mere "Trump robots" is, by implication, to claim that no thinking person could possibly believe that he does not deserve to be impeached.

Is that really your position?

(By the way, to refer to Republicans in the Senate as mere "Trump robots" is not only unkind; it is also highly inaccurate. Almost all of these are establishment Republicans; which is certainly not a good description of Donald Trump, himself.)
