that they're guaranteed to lose, and that would likely cost them the house majority and the 2020 presidential election.

I also think they should impeach, just because it's the right thing to do. But if they did, there wouldn't even be a trial. Mitch McConnell has already said they wouldn't even take it up. And if there's one thing we can count on in US government, it's Mitch McConnell's willingness to ignore any sense of constitutional responsibility for partisan ends.


The only tool we have to block any part of the Trump agenda is the house majority. But we won the house by winning a huge number of races in swing districts, where impeachment is extremely unpopular. Those races will all be run again in 2020.


I think even Nancy is moving toward impeachment. But the only way it doesn't hurt the Democrats is if they were dragged toward it by unavoidable political circumstances OUTSIDE their base.
