Nancy Pelosi on Impeaching Trump: 'He's Just Not Worth It'

[Jedi Guy]

182. Impeaching him with no hope of conviction does nothing constructive.

It will help him and hurt the Democratic Party. It will come across as a politically-motivated hatchet job, which is precisely how the GOP will spin it going into the election. It'll motivate his base just when we most need them to be despondent, and it might push some of the disenchanted GOP voters back to him.

I get what you're saying with the point about putting the ball in the Senate's court and forcing them either to play or to walk away, but the final result of doing so wouldn't be worthwhile, as satisfying as it would be to watch the GOP Senators hem and haw.

I trust that Pelosi has her eye on the prize, and is waiting for the target to come into her sights before she takes her shot. She's a savvy operator, so I believe she knows what she's doing.
