Because NOTHING will be compelling enough or overwhelming enough to persuade them to join the Democrats in impeachment.
Hey, I understand why she is doing this. But its still surreal isn't it? How powerful the Cult of personality can be? If ANY other President did even a fraction of what this President did, even if it were a Democrat with a Democratic majority in the H and S, proceedings would be well under way without any complaints.
Pick anything out of the blue of his many crimes.....paying off a porn star with hush money just before the election to help him win. Not only is this an actual crime, but is also an ethical moral "sin" which should rule him out on that basis alone.
But Nancy knows how Fox News, and Mitch, etc will scream bloody murder, and promote it as some deep state conspiracy bolstered by false evidence and lies and a corrupted FBI.
Its a gamble though. They have to go all in or all out (until they do get overwhelming evidence). I would prefer they had used the Republican playbook of raising bloody hell from day one, and created the narrative of the peril the nation is in. But now that they did not go down that road, they have to stick to this conservative approach and just hope beyond hope that Mueller will reveal something that Republicans simply cannot ignore. I'm just not confident that will ever happen. Or that even if, Nancy and the leadership will still be too wimpy to go all in then. And if that is so, then Trump, by 2020, will be all but vindicated and ripe for re-election.
