Wall of moderate Democrats poised to save Trump from impeachment

[Common]

While a few dozen House Democrats are clamoring to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump, a faction of party moderates are quietly dampening the enthusiasm for trying to oust the president and could ultimately serve as the wall that protects him from impeachment.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has informed rank-and-file Democrats her goal is to keep control of the House in 2020, which requires protecting the 40 lawmakers who put them into the majority by winning seats previously held by Republicans.


Constituents in those districts tend to favor Trump and have little interest in an impeachment inquiry, which has prompted Pelosi to steer the caucus away from impeachment and instead toward oversight investigations of the Trump administration.



Among the lawmakers Pelosi hopes to protect is Rep. Katie Hill, a Democrat who represents California’s 25th District.


Hill won the seat in 2018, flipping a district that had been held by Republicans since 1993.


Hill told the Washington Examiner the top concerns in her district, which includes northern Los Angeles County and parts of Ventura County, are healthcare, prescription drugs, and the opioid addiction crisis.

Uh oh.

In all honesty they aren't trying to protect Trump from impeachment. They are trying to protect themselves from what impeachment would do to the Democrats.

No such thing as a moderate Rodent any more.

100% of them voted for MessiahCare.

The top concern of voters within 109 miles of Los Angeles is the spreading rot of the Invasion, the massive spread of the Vagrant Mobs, the diseases spread by the Vagrant Mobs, the crimes if the Vagrant Mobs, and other issues related to the Turd-Worldizing of a formerly but no longer great state.

Only about 11% of the House are calling for impeachment.
