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

[ehrnst]

214. Because it's impossible without the Senate, would look like partisan theatre if the Dem leadership

did it on without the vast majority of voters - including the GOP base - demanding it, and because history shows that a POTUS who survives impeachment often looks like a victim and gets higher approval ratings than before (see also: Bill Clinton), and their biggest talking point in the 2018 congressional elections and likely the 2020 elections will be "If Democrats get the House they will immediately impeach Dear Leader?"

Because picking a fight you can't win, along with handing your enemy a victory that he can use as validation for everything he does from now on is a horrible idea any way you look at it?

Other than that?

I thinkn that trolling him by saying that "he's not worth it" is a touch of genius, BTW. Also - she wouldn't consider it "unless there is compelling evidence and bi-partisan support" is what she said.

Of course she will impeach him IF the circumstances are right. If she makes it a priority, DT becomes the victim of "partisan politics" and not a mandate from the public.

I think that the best we can hope for is that he resigns as part of a deal to keep Ivanka out of prison, then the NY AG goes after his private citizen ass.
